Two inmates attacked each other with makeshift knives Saturday at a
state prison in Jessup, a day after a brawl at a prison in Baltimore
sent 18 inmates to the hospital, authorities said.



The most recent in a series of violent incidents at Maryland prisons
broke out around noon, when inmates at the Jessup Correctional
Institution were returning to their cells from lunch, said Maj.
Priscilla Doggett, a spokeswoman for the Division of Correction.



One inmate attacked another with a makeshift knife, and the other, also
armed with a homemade knife, defended himself, Doggett said. Both
received stab wounds to the upper torso and were taken by ambulance to
the University of Maryland Medical Center.



The Jessup Correctional Institution is a maximum-security prison with an inmate population of about 1,300.





Three inmates were critically injured in the brawl but were expected to
survive, Doggett said. They were listed in serious condition Saturday,
she said.
