A JAIL wing was trashed at Blakenhurst Prison during a siege by prisoners who refused to go back to their cells.
The incident began at about 7.30pm last Wednesday when 33 prisoners on one wing began to protest when asked to return to their cells at the Tardebigge jail.
The prisoners remained quiet at first but later began to damage property and officers were forced to call for back up.
Prison officers called in trained negotiators to talk to the prisoners and try to bring the chaos under control.
