Here is video showing the fury unleashed on a California Prison by an inmates' riot over the weekend at the California Institution for Men in Chino, about 35 miles east of Los Angeles. The video shows enormous damage at the facility caused by the raging inmates, 250 of whom were injured, 55 badly enough to be hospitalized.

"The riot erupted Saturday night and raged until Sunday morning, injuring 250 inmates. Fifty-five inmates were taken to hospitals with serious injuries, including stab wounds and head trauma.

"The prison is still under a state of emergency," George Kostyrko, a spokesman for the state Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation told CNN, which means no visitors were allowed and the prison could not take any new inmates.

Corrections officials said they transferred about 1,150 inmates to other facilities. "The ones that are there are likely in a lockdown mode until an investigation can determine whether or not they were directly responsible for the riot," Kostyrko said.

The decision to lock down the Chino prison and nine others in southern California was still in affect Tuesday.

"The lockdowns will remain in affect until all the staff that we deployed to Chino from other areas go back home," Kostyrko said.

The measure was taken to prevent copy-cat violence.

Though other races were involved, the altercations at Chino mostly involved Hispanics and African-Americans, Kostyrko said.

About 80 officers responded to the scene, but none of the staff was injured". . . .(Watch Video)

Any jail that is referred to as a campus and any cell that is referred to as a dorm, needs to be burnt to the ground.

Did anyone at CNN mention demographics of the rioters?
