STERLING, Colo. (AP) - The Colorado Department of Corrections has ordered a lock-down at a northeast Colorado prison after about 40 inmates got involved in a fight.
One staff member was sent to the hospital for minor injuries, and several inmates were treated for injuries at the Sterling Correctional Facility.
