Guards used non-lethal projectiles to stop the fighting. No employees were hurt.
On Wednesday two inmates were hospitalized for non-life threatening injuries following a fight involving about 40 inmates in the same yard.
Inmate movement in the housing unit has been restricted while officials investigate.
The prison houses about 3,800 minimum- and medium-custody inmates.
