ELOY, AZ - Ten inmates have been injured after a riot at a private prison in central Arizona.

Eloy police say the disturbance occurred during Thursday afternoon's lunch hour at the Red Rock Correctional Facility and involved an estimated 110 inmates. They say the riot was in an area of the prison that houses only California inmates.

It's unclear what triggered the riot, but prison staff used pepper spray and ended it within 10 minutes.

Ah yes Jan Brewer's friends are making a bundle and I know one reason, CALI jails are way over crowded...

Remember part of that horrendous bill is to get even more bidness to the privately run prison industry.

1. Why people don't seemed to be concerned about this is beyond me.

2. I am, the human rights violations in privately run

facilities will make the Alabama Dept of Corrections look like boy scouts.

3. Because they feel it does not personally affect them! If it did you would sure hear about it.

4. My friends in Europe

thought I was jesting when I said America had private for profit prisons until I sent them proof.
They were aghast!

Jan Brewer passing a law written by them is beyond corrupt, it is EVIL!

8. No shit! She can't spell law, but AZ apparently elected that thing.

7. I'm not even sure of that anymore. People are basically dead, killed

by weariness.

Apparently to Arizona, profit > public safety.

9. I've said this before here...

I really wish that Michael Moore would take on America's prison system as a documentary project. It's badly needed.
