Yes. The New Mexico Penitentiary Riot, which took place on February 2 and February 3, 1980, in the state's maximum security prison south of Santa Fe, was one of the most violent prison riots in the history of the American correctional system: 33 inmates died and more than 200 inmates were treated for injuries. None of the 12 officers taken hostage were killed, but seven were treated for injuries caused by beatings and rapes.

What is the function of your prison system?
Rehabilitation, including learning jobs, and of course, punishment by imprisonment to either keep the individual from harming others outside of prison, and to deter crime. (That doesn't work really well) Of course, execution of a convicted person ensures that he will never again hurt people, especially his/her fellow inmates. (giving "death row" inmates 25 years worth of appeals may not protect his fellow inmates all that much!
