There's always a chance of that when you stick over 500 criminals together.

They are supposed to be low risk. Ford is an Open Prison (it used to be a Royal Naval Air Station.

I live about 20 miles from Ford and thought you'd have to break in to cause any damage to it?

They're not allowed mobiles. He's called me six times since 1am from the prison phone.

What - all of them?

Don't forget, Ford is for minor offenders and low risk prisoners.

It's hardly Strangeways!

Although perhaps they should throw those who are involved into Strangeways.

they dont sound that harmless to me, hopefully the perpetrators are on the way to a proper prison not a up market holliday camp sorry open prison like the one they just wrecked..

It does seem that inappropriate inmates have been allocated to Ford because of lack of space at other prisons.

But I doubt that the more normal type of offender found at Ford is likely to riot.
