Guard injured in prison brawl

SEMARANG: A guard was injured while trying to break up a brawl
among inmates at Kedungpane-Mijen Correctional Facility on
Monday, Antara said.

Chief of the Central Java Justice Office Soeroso said six
inmates had been sent to isolation cells as punishment for their
part in the brawl.

They may have also forfeited their right to remissions
normally given out on Independence Day on Aug. 17, Soeroso said.

The fight was between gangs formed along ethnic lines within
the correctional facility, he said.

The warden has since beefed up security to prevent inmates
from taking revenge, he added. (emb)
