CBS

"Two more inmates were killed Monday in the troubled Mississippi State Penitentiary, authorities said. The deaths come after a recent spike in violence at prisons across the state.

The Mississippi Department of Corrections has not yet identified the two inmates at the all-male facility known as Parchman Farm. The department called their deaths "isolated" and not a "continuation of the recent retaliatory killings."

Five inmates were killed and an undisclosed number of others were injured amid a wave of violence between December 29 and January 3, officials said. Three of those inmates were killed in three days at Parchman. Another inmate was found hanging in his cell on January 18."
