Santa Barbara - A local jail is still in lock down after a fight broke out Monday afternoon.

It happened around 3:45 p.m. at the main jail in Goleta.

According to sheriff's officials, more than 12 inmates of a prison gang planned the racially motivated attack. The fight lasted less than a minute in the module area but caused at least three inmates to be sent to Cottage Goleta Valley Hospital from facial or head injuries. None of the injuries appear to be life-threatening.

Officials say the jail is still locked down indefinitely. It can take days or weeks for the lock down to be lifted.

No custody deputies were hurt.
