Seven Oklahoma prisons remain on lockdown status after a series of fights state corrections officials think might have been coordinated.
The seven prisons have been on lockdown since the fights broke out between May 20th and June 30th. On the latter day, fights occurred at four separate facilities across the state.
The facilities on lockdown are the Oklahoma State Reformatory in Granite, where two inmates were stabbed to death during a fight on May 20th, the Oklahoma State Penitentiary in McAlester and prisons in Hominy, Stringtown, Lawton, Holdenville and Cushing.
