Disturbances inside the East Crawford housing unit at Mike Durfee State Prison continued this morning, July 10.
Fights broke out within the unit around 10p.m. July 9, requiring the SORT Team to be dispatched and multiple correctional employees being called in to help.
Bon Homme County Sheriff's Department has been present since last night patrolling the parimeter.
An insider reported the the restriction of care packages and decrease in phone calls has left the younger inmates to their own devices, which turns into "brawls". The insider reported only five guards responded to the fights July 9 with no backup. Blood was seen throughout the unit in the hallways, stairwells and the bathrooms.
Tyndall and Springfield ambulance departments have been seen coming and going from the prison since last night, with reports of five transports last night and four this morning. No report of the extent of injuries or if any staff had to be transported.
A report of tear gas being prepped for deployment was reported this morning, but no confirmation on that as of yet.
All units at MDSP are currently on lockdown.
It seems to have quieted down since 10:45 this morning, July 10.

A more detailed version of this story can be found on Dakota News Now
