Two inmates were killed and three others injured Friday in a deadly 'group disturbance' that broke out at an Oklahoma prison.The deadly 'disturbance' unfolded at the Lawton Correctional and Rehabilitation Facility when two groups of prisoners that must remain separated crossed paths due to 'human error,' the Oklahoma Department of Corrections spokesperson Kay Thompson told Newsweek.
The prison is still locked down and undergoing a 'facility-wide shakedown.'Thompson said that ODOC views mitigating violence as a 'priority.''ODOC is always concerned for the health and safety of those in our care and those incarcerated in contracted facilities,' Thompson said.The agency has implemented a stricter misconduct policy and other strategies to reduce inmate-on-inmate violence.
