Some casualties
Gnapie confirmed there have been casualties.
He said 13 people have been wounded and evacuated from the area, but most do not have gunshot wounds, as they were injured during rioting in the jail.
The incident is another sign of the chaos in the C.A.R., 20 months after Seleka rebels ousted the president. A transitional government has been unable to restore order or stop rampant violence and lawlessness around the country.
Recently, the U.N. told VOA there used to be 60 prisons in the C.A.R., but many were damaged or destroyed by rebels over the past two years and now only four of them are operational.
Ngaragba prison was the biggest of those four and for the time being it, too, is out of service.
