"Folsom Prison continued to be locked down Tuesday following a fight that erupted Monday at breakfast in one of the dining halls.
A meeting was scheduled for later today to determine which inmates might be able to return to normal activity.
"We need to go through all the reports to find out what went awry," said Lt. Denise Laguna, a Folsom Prison spokeswoman.
All 4,000 inmates were confined to their cells in the aftermath of the riot in the No. 2 dining room about 6:55 a.m. Monday. About 200 inmates were in the hall at the time. The fight involved predominately African American and Latino inmates.
The entire prison went on lockdown status, which required feeding prisoners sack lunches instead of letting them go to the dining halls.
It was unclear what caused the melee, Laguna said.
"We are still getting information in at this time," she said. "It was not a race riot. These things can happen over somebody giving somebody a wrong look. A lot of the inmates were in amazement. They wondered what was going on and what they were supposed to do."
Three inmates were taken to the hospital. A prison-made knife was recovered.
The fight was quelled using chemical agents and "less-than lethal" force. No staff members were injured."
Every time I think I'm out, they drag me back it!
