Prisoner bashed as guards do barbie duty
A prisoner is seriously ill in hospital after he was stomped on and assaulted during a barbecue held to reward inmates' good behaviour.

It's a shame, but it has to be said that their reward system isn't working!
40 incidents is very high considering these inmates are supposed to be 'low category risk' the inmate that has been at the receiving end this time is now on life support!
Whilst I believe that criminals should serve their time, I also believe that they should be able to do it and be kept safe!
I think there are going to have to be many changes at this prison, as the inmates seem to be 'ruling the roost' and not the officers!

If this is the kind of thing that goes on with the good prisoners I am not sure I want to know about the bad boys. I think the system here is not working very well at all. To have a person now on life support is a big clue that changes need to be made. Prison is societies way of protecting us from criminals but it is also meant to protect them from each other too. It is very clear that this did not happen in this incident.
