On Tuesday 24 September 2019 prison staff came under attack by a group of prisoners who threw pool balls at them, resulting in staff withdrawing from the wing.
Some of the staff sustained injuries and over £110,000 worth of damage was done, as the prisoners who had taken control of the wing smashed CCTV cameras, set floods and built barricades before starting a fire.
Specialist prison control and restraint, Tornado Teams were brought in from HM Prisons from across the country, including HMP Birmingham, HMP Bristol, HMP Woodhill, HMP Bullingdon, HMP Featherstone, HMP Brinsford, HMP Oakwood and HMP Cardiff. Once inside the prison, they regained control of the wing within 10 minutes.
