(ANSA) - ROME, MAR 24 - Two prison guards were taken to the ER with minor injuries after a revolt broke out at Milan's Beccaria Juvenile Jail on Monday.
    Carabinieri police intervened to stop the riot after inmates set a mattress on fire on the second floor of the building.
    The two officers were wounded when detainees hurled objects during the protest while a few detainees, a doctor and more officers suffered smoke inhalation, according to prison authorities.
    They were treated at the prison.
    The fire was extinguished and the riot was over, they said.
    A number of riots were reported at the Beccaria prison last year, including in May when mattresses were set on fire to create chaos and enable a group of detainees to unsuccessfully attempt an evasion. (ANSA).
