TRCI Housing Unit Returns to Normal Operations
 
Umatilla, Oregon. Two Rivers Correctional Institution's (TRCI) Housing Unit 9 returned to normal operations this morning. Progressive transition to normal operations began on Sunday, November 18, 2008.
 
Eleven inmates have been placed in the Disciplinary Segregation Unit pending potential disciplinary action for participating in the fights, which occurred on November 13, 2008. The incident does not appear to have been a planned event and started with a disagreement between two inmates.
 
Don Mills, Superintendent of the medium-custody prison was pleased with staff response to the incident, the progress of the investigation and the successful return to normal operations in the housing unit. He appreciated "all of the hard work that has gone into maintaining a safe and secure institution for both staff and inmates."
