No coffee leads to cranky inmates

A couple of days without coffee can make anyone cranky, including New Hampshire prison inmates.

Some state prison inmates in Berlin got into an argument with staff after a coffee delivery was delayed because of the Veterans Day holiday last week.

Department of Corrections spokesman Jeffrey Lyons says the conflict between the minimum security inmates and staff in the prison dormitory happened Wednesday morning. One prison worker ended up being treated for a minor injury at a hospital.

Lyons tells the New Hampshire Union Leader that the incident lasted a little more than five minutes. He says no criminal charges are expected.
