The brawl reportedly broke out at the prison in Quillota, 80 kilometers north of Santiago. The prison houses about 550 prisoners. Local media reports that inmates set fire to garbage, and to their mattresses during the fight. The prison is reportedly to be severely damaged and requires three months to repair.
