EL PASO, Texas (Border Report) — Guards used a chemical agent to quell a group of unruly inmates at the Biscoe Unit state prison on Nov. 7 in Dilley, Texas, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice confirmed.
A TDCJ spokesman said the guards had ordered inmates to go to their cells, and they refused. The inmates — all U.S. citizens — then broke a window and set fire to a mattress.
The guards deployed a riot control agent to gain control of the situation, and the inmates returned to their cells.
