The California State Prison-Sacramento County, commonly called New Folsom Prison, had a serious disturbance on the recreation yard on Friday. Two prisoners, apparently armed with inmate manufactured knives, attacked a third inmate. A fourth inmate jumped into the fight, though whose side he was on isn't quite clear. Staff tried conventional control techniques which did not succeed, and opened fire with .223 rifles. When it was ove one inmate was dead, one is in critical condition.
The dead guy is Jamie Mardis doing 11 years out of Kern County for robbery and making and possession of deadly weapons while in custody.
This is actually an unusual situation in the CA prison system where it is not uncommon for a year to go by without a prisoner being shot to death.
