This video is of five shooting deaths of inmates at Corcoran Prison in the period from the early 1990s to 1996. The videos are unedited; they depict inmates going to an enclosed Security Housing Unit (SHU) yard where they fight with one another.

The narration is taken from reports written by prison administrators afte...
