Texas: Prison rebellion leaves one dead

A riot at the Federal Correctional Institute near Three Rivers has left one inmate dead and more than a dozen others in area hospitals. The facility is about eight miles west of Three Rivers and right across the road from the Choke Canyon Reservoir.

The federal prison is also known as "FCI Three Rivers" and is both a medium and minimum security facility. The main part of the complex is made up of the medium security facility. The population is male inmates only and there are just over 1,100 inmates currently housed there. FCI Three Rivers is also the site of what is called a minimum security satellite camp, which is also comprised of male inmates only and currently houses 345 men.
