Narvaez didn't have information about any remaining patients at the jail or further details about the incident. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, which operates the facility, didn't immediately respond to requests for information.
More than 8,500 male inmates are held at the sprawling jail complex in Castaic, about 40 mile north of downtown Los Angeles.
