I have just heard that a prison officer has been injured at Swaleside Prison following an attack by two prisoners who allegedly were intoxicated. I raised the issue of increased violence in our prisons a few weeks back in Parliament and urged the prisons minister to meet with my local POA representatives to hear what problems they face. I was given an assurance that a minister will visit Sheppey and I very much hope that will happen as soon as possible. My heart goes out to the injured officer and his colleagues who face similar threats on a daily basis. These guys need support and I am determined to give it to them.
