Inside the prison riot: Raucous inmates filmed celebrating after 200 convicts take over a wing as HMP Bedford becomes the second jail to be overrun within six weeks following protest over ‘mistreatment’ by guards
This is footage from inside a prison riot, where prisoners are seen celebrating victoriously on the wing after up to 200 inmates overran parts of the jail.
The footage, taken from a mobile phone smuggled into the prison, shows inmates at HMP Bedford raising their hands in triumph after guards were forced to withdraw.
One source inside the prison, claiming to be an inmate, says that prisoners have looted guards’ offices, set fires, and are wandering the wings carrying blades.
