RAYMONDVILLE, Texas (AP) - As many as 2,800 federal prisoners will be moved to other institutions after inmates seized control of part of a prison in South Texas, causing damage that made the facility "uninhabitable," an official said Saturday.
Ed Ross, a spokesman for the U.S. Bureau of Prisons, said the inmates who had taken control are "now compliant" but that negotiations were ongoing Saturday in an effort for staff to "regain complete control" of Willacy County Correctional Center.
"The situation is not resolved, though we're moving toward a peaceful resolution," FBI spokesman Erik Vasys said Saturday evening.
It wasn't immediately clear what progress had been made through the negotiations, but Sheriff Larry Spence said there were no hostages involved in the standoff and only minor injuries reported. Spence said the inmates "have pipes they can use as weapons."

lol, negotiations with prisoners. How about you chill the F out or you get a bullet in the head, that should be the negotiation terms.
1 weekend a month spent with live fire will resolve this situation very quickly.
I guess the medical care given in a FEDERAL prison is much worse than that of their home countries? This is ridiculous....I agree, how bout you chill the funk out or you'll be dealt with swiftly and justly.
I can only imagine the costs associated with moving 2800 prisoners to other Federal prisons throughout the nation.
Most likely the Shiria law portion of the prison.
If you just glanced over the article you might have missed that the "inmates" are ILLEGALS from MEXICO who have committed crimes while here.
Common sense says they all go back. What do you think it costs the US taxpayers to house and feed 2,800 illegals?
Obama and Holder are flying down now to release all BLACK MEN...
We need an inexpensive, energy efficient way to return these gentlemen to the loving arms of their families south of the Rio Grande.
I'm thinking world's largest ground mounted slingshot aligned towards Mexico City. Correction's Department guest is equipped with new jumpsuit, goggles, fancy sneakers of their choice and parachute which opens automatically at 2,000 feet.
Have a nice day!
That's a joke. They're criminals and thugs. I would only allow Mr. Smith & Mr. Wesson to do the negotiations.
Maybe if we give jobs they will stop.
