Norwich prison: Screw stabbed in the neck

A screw got what was coming to them after being attacked with a knife at Norwich Prison, resulting in a neck injury and being taken to hospital. The screw who was attacked on 11 June was said by an inmate to be “in a really bad way”. The prisoner, who asked not to be named for fears of his safety, told mainstream radio, that the screw was attacked by an inmate on the landing of A wing.

“If it hadn’t been for the other screw protecting him he would have been killed,” he added. “The officer was in a really bad way. But since it happened nothing has changed. There aren’t enough staff so we spend too much time in our cells.”
