The department says COs used pepper spray to quell the fighting but did not use lethal force.
The seriously injured inmate suffered head injuries and was taken on a helicopter to a hospital.
No officers were seriously injured, though some were exposed to the pepper spray.
COs recovered inmate-made weapons in the prison yard. The reason for the riot is under investigation.
