Prisons across the state of Oklahoma are locked down and all visitations are canceled by the Oklahoma Department of Corrections, after a stabbing at a medium security prison in northeastern Oklahoma.

 DOC spokesperson Kay Thompson says the statewide lock down will last through today as state officials investigate the incident, which took place at the Dick Conner Correctional Center in Hominy, about 30 miles northwest of Tulsa.

 In addition to the medium security prison, the Dick Conner Correctional Center also houses a minimum security prison that houses about 1,200 inmates.

 The last time a statewide prison shutdown took place was in September 2021.
