Long Lartin - E-wing taken by inmates

Up to 80 prisoners have attacked staff with pool balls at a high-security prison, the BBC understands.
A source said staff at HMP Long Lartin in Worcestershire had retreated from E wing after inmates became violent.
BBC Home Affairs Correspondent Danny Shaw said he understood "tornado teams" of riot officers had been sent to the prison.
The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) said: "We are currently managing an ongoing incident at HMP Long Lartin."
'Cause alarm'
"We are absolutely clear that offenders who behave in this way will be punished and face spending extra time behind bars," the statement added.
Our correspondent said there had previously been serious violence in local and training prisons, but to have a disturbance like this at a high-security jail would cause alarm at the MoJ.
The category A men's prison has a capacity of 622, with inmates serving a minimum of four years.
HMP Long Lartin is a maximum security jail which also holds category A prisoners awaiting trial.

Have they tried implementing the smoking ban?

Grouty behind it

Today's chaos comes after a series of other prison riots in the UK.......

In late September and early August prisoners rioted at HMP The Mount. This followed 2016 prison riots at HMP Bedford, HMP Birmingham, HMP Swaleside and Lewes prison.
