A private prison facility was on lockdown early Tuesday as authorities investigated a disturbance that erupted when hundreds of inmates refused to leave the recreation yard.

Two employees of Corrections Corp. of America's Mineral Wells Pre-Parole Transfer Facility were treated on site for minor injuries during the Monday night disturbance, spokesperson Louise Grant said.
