Three female prison officers have been attacked by inmates in Maghaberry prison in County Antrim.
It happened during visiting time on Friday after staff spotted a visitor trying to smuggle a watch to a prisoner.
One of the prison officers suffered broken ribs, another a broken wrist and a third was left with a bruised face.
Finlay Spratt, chairman of the Prison Officers Association, said the attack was despicable.
"Those people should face the full vigour of the law," he said.
