          The prison system is a psychologically, complex situation. It needs more than money, staff and order. It lacks structure

          Tad ironic if the reports are true that it was triggered by not having access to TV or gym facilities. Recreational Prisons....

          glad the wankers making comments are enjoying themselves. Would they comment differently if they were closer to the incident!

          Source? 'BBC understands' doesn't quite cut it - especially given contrary reports elsewhere.

          Prisoners generally very tolerant and patient, would only riot in face of failing conditions that create atmosphere of no hope
