The country has faced criticism from human rights activists for the conditions in its prisons, including overcrowding and failing to protect inmates.
More than two dozen people have died and over 100 injured following a violent dispute between different prison populations in Negombo.
The wounded were rushed to the Negombo hospital, north of the capital Colombo, following overnight clashes between inmates from two drug gangs, police said.
