At the same time, the hunt was on for two inmates believed to be on the loose. Gov. Phil Bryant on Saturday said via Twitter that he has directed "the use of all necessary assets and personnel" to find the two inmates who escaped from the Mississippi State Penitentiary at Parchman.
The department said via Twitter Saturday afternoon that there were no major disturbances occurring at Parchman. Mississippi's outgoing prisons chief said Friday that four of the five killings of inmates since Sunday stem from gang violence, as guards struggle to maintain control of restive inmates. The five inmates have been identified as Denorris Howell, 36, and Terrandance Dobbins, 40, who died Sunday at the South Mississippi Correctional Institute in Leakesville. On Tuesday, Walter Gates, 25, was stabbed and several other inmates were injured at Parchman during a fight that spread to multiple units of the sprawling prison. Then on Thursday, Gregory Emary, 26, was killed at the Chickasaw County Regional Correctional Facility, a county-run jail that holds state inmates.
It could be one of those prisons where the cell doors don’t lock like the jail on new season of 60 days in lol AETV 60daysin_

Two men taken to hospital after beating each other with hockey sticksTwo men have been transported to hospital in non-life threatening condition after they got into a fight while armed with hockey sticks in Richmond Hill, police say. Only in Canada... Ban hockey sticks! This is the same mentality that wants to ban guns from legal gun owners. Guns, knives, bats, sticks, poisons, and vehicles are not the problem, the people that use them to hurt others are the problem. Our government fails to understand this simple concept. I’m sure they’re due to spend more than five major minutes in the “penalty box,” ie. “Waiting room”
