Thirty-six years ago today, on October 27, 1989 (September 28, 1989), a prison riot broke out in Pennsylvania. On October 27, 1989, two serious riots broke out in Camp Hill Prison in Pennsylvania, injuring more than 120 prisoners, guards and police officers. Fourteen of the 31 buildings in the entire prison were burned down. The authorities did not bring the situation under control until the morning of the 27th.

The prison official said the overcrowding also exacerbated the severity of the riots.
