Assist at Prison Riot
A riot broke out at the Baker Community Correctional Facility on
December 3rd. The prison, a minimum security facility operated by
Cornell Corrections, Inc. under contract with the California Department
of Corrections, is in the town of Baker, adjacent to the park's west
boundary. At the request of the San Bernadino Sheriff's Office, the park
dispatched three rangers to assist in securing the perimeter of the
grounds while searching for escapees. Nineteen inmates were injured
during the incident, mostly from stab wounds. One structure within the
prison burned, but there were no escapes.
