The trouble is centred on P Wing, where prisoners have smashed up their cells yet again. This follows a savage 12-hour riot which began at 8am on Friday and wasn’t brought under control until after 10pm last night, thanks to specialist teams and police intervention.

It’s not just P Wing feeling the fallout. Reports say prisoners on L and M Wings are now forced to sleep on floors due to power and water cuts. Prison staff are on edge, fearing the unrest could spread further.
