Twelve prisoners were injured during a fight between white and Latino inmates on Friday at the California Institution for Men.
The fighting started about 9:15 a.m. inside one of Reception Center-West's housing units, according to a CIM news release.
Using pepper spray, guards broke up the fight at the Laguna Hall unit within minutes.
Hargrove said about 50 inmates were involved in what he called a "riot."
Chino Mayor Dennis Yates has vigorously voiced his concerns to the state about CIM's overcrowding, as well as a proposed mental-health unit there.
On Friday, Yates said overcrowding was the reason for the fighting.
