ABC15 has been investigating incidents of violence in Arizona prisons.
Three inmates were killed during an "altercation" in April at the Arizona State Prison Complex Tucson.
Multiple other in-prison deaths have occurred this year, leading to the closure of Arizona prisons to visitors.
ABC15 has also obtained videos, also recorded and posted by inmates, showing additional assaults, and even TikTok-style videos.
