Multiple fights at one of South Carolina's most dangerous prisons left at least seven inmates dead and 17 others injured, a prison official said Monday.
Lee Correctional Institution was secured at around 2:55 a.m., nearly eight hours after multiple fights broke out in three housing units Sunday night, prison spokesman Jeff Taillon said. The incident started around 7:15 p.m., he said.
All prison staff and responding law enforcement officers were reported safe after the incident, the South Carolina Department of Corrections wrote. The department added that the State Law Enforcement Division was assisting prison officials in its investigation.
Emergency services from several South Carolina counties responded to the “mass casualty incident,” Lee County Fire wrote in a tweet. Several local media outlets reported the local coroner was called to the scene.

Befriending a prisoner is a good way to get that prisoner killed for being a snitch. Only prisoners can be “stickmen”.
Yes. The Vintage 1972 Paul Newman part is VERY important; I’m not doing it without him! :)
“Preferably before the boiled egg scene?”
Have him washed and sent to my tent! *SMIRK*
Well if the worst of the worst are there.....open all the doors inside so they can go at it. Likely would have had the death penalty were it still in force......then Cathy Buckleop up what’s left.
Yep. They moved the women to Atlanta “Metro C.I.” now Metro State Prison.
And yes, there is a Geriatric Prison at Milledgeville. We had several that needed to be there, but, they were in our mental health wing instead.
There was a mental health hospital at Milledgeville too. When we were kids, we were told that if we didn’t straighten up, we’d end up at Milledgeville in the state hospital. We KNEW we didn’t want to go there.
They finally closed that place and made a bunch of regional mental institutions around Georgia. It seems to work much better. The Binion Building at Milledgeville was a hell-hole.
All goes back to the criminal way we treat the mentally ill in America (though Georgia is trying to do what is right anyway).
Yeah we got the tour of MLDGV I recall a lot of agriculture farmed by inmates.
At the geriatric everyone called the captain boss with respect, like the movies. In cal boss was atermoonsarcasm like yes masser.
Survival of the fittest will rule then....and they’ll get done what the death penalty should have.
My brother was an auto insurance adjuster in the ‘80s and had to visit a sheriff’s substation in South Carolina to check out the vehicle.
At one point he had to enter the “office”, and there sat some tough-looking youths giving him the Hard Eye. He became immensely interested in his lap top.
When he was leaving, he mentioned to one of the deputies that they had some hard cases in that room. The deputy laughed and said that they were headed for a tough prison and by nightfall they’d be passed around for a pack of cigarettes or a candy bar.
My brother thought that had to be one Helluva tough prison.
Better that they be in there killing one another than out here killing us!
There are plenty of cases of inmates murdering their cellmate in order to get a private cell.
