|
-
|
A
|
disturbance
|
among
|
illegal
|
aliens
|
being
|
held
|
at
|
a
|
naval
|
air
|
station
|
in
|
San
|
Diego
|
resulted
|
in
|
28
|
prisoners
|
being
|
injured
|
and
|
taken
|
to
|
|
on
|
Friday,
|
an
|
official
|
said.
|
Navy
|
Lt.
|
Cmdr.
|
Steve
|
Burnett
|
said
|
10
|
illegal
|
aliens,
|
apparently
|
upset
|
by
|
lack
|
of
|
canteen
|
privileges
|
at
|
the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Miramar
|
Naval
|
Air
|
Station,
|
set
|
fire
|
to
|
a
|
mattress.
|
The
|
smoke
|
from
|
the
|
fire
|
affected
|
28
|
prisoners,
|
who
|
were
|
taken
|
to
|
Scripps
|
Memorial
|
Hospital,
|
where
|
they
|
were
|
treated
|
for
|
|
inhalation.
|
Half
|
of
|
those
|
were
|
kept
|
in
|
the
|
hospital
|
while
|
the
|
other
|
14
|
were
|
released
|
after
|
treatment.
|
They
|
were
|
then
|
transported
|
to
|
the
|
Metropolitan
|
Detention
|
Center
|
in
|
downtown
|
San
|
|
along
|
with
|
the
|
remainder
|
of
|
the
|
174
|
federal
|
prisoners
|
being
|
held
|
at
|
the
|
Miramar
|
jail
|
facility.
|
Burnett
|
said
|
they
|
would
|
remain
|
in
|
the
|
detention
|
center
|
until
|
the
|
damage
|
at
|
|
had
|
been
|
assessed.
|
Burnett
|
said
|
that
|
not
|
all
|
the
|
civilian
|
prisoners
|
held
|
in
|
the
|
Miramar
|
brig
|
were
|
illegal
|
aliens.
|
Some
|
were
|
federal
|
prisoners
|
considered
|
non-violent
|
who
|
were
|
being
|
held
|
|
because
|
of
|
overcrowding
|
in
|
other
|
federal
|
prisons.
|
Some
|
210
|
naval
|
detainees
|
being
|
held
|
in
|
another
|
part
|
of
|
the
|
brig
|
were
|
not
|
affected
|
by
|
Friday's
|
disturbance,
|
he
|
said.
|
San
|
Diego
|
|
Attorney
|
Alan
|
Bersin
|
said
|
there
|
was
|
``no
|
massive
|
damage''
|
to
|
the
|
Miramar
|
facility
|
and
|
that
|
the
|
situation
|
had
|
quickly
|
been
|
brought
|
under
|
control.
