A brawl among California inmates housed in a prison in Oklahoma because of overcrowded lockups back home resulted in 46 injuries, authorities said Wednesday.

The fighting broke out Tuesday at the North Fork Correctional Facility in Sayre, Okla., about 130 miles west of Oklahoma City. The prison holds 2,381 inmates, all from California, authorities said.

Inmates were involved in fights at various locations throughout the 2,500-bed, medium-security prison, said Lt. Ralph Jackson of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.

Jackson said 46 inmates were hurt, 30 of whom were treated at the prison. Sixteen were taken to hospitals, three in critical condition.
