A pair of inmates at Green Haven Correctional Facility are facing additional discipline for starting fires in their jail cells.
Authorities say an inmate started the first fire on Wednesday and threw bleach in a correction officer's face when he tried to put out the flames.
On Thursday, a second inmate started a fire in a different housing unit. It was quickly put out and no evacuation was needed.
The inmate who allegedly threw the bleach could be confined to a special housing unit.
