Prison officers' strike spreads
Strike action among prison officers has spread to a second jail, the Prison Officers' Association has said.
Hundreds of officers have been on a picket line outside HMP Liverpool on a second day of unofficial action there.
They first walked out on Tuesday, amid claims of bullying and harassment by their supervisors.
Hundreds more officers from Risley Prison near Warrington have joined them and staff at three other jails are threatening to walk out later.
Staff at Preston, Wandsworth and Cardiff prisons are threatening to stop work at lunchtime unless managers agree to talks, Prison Officers Association (POA) deputy general secretary Mark Freeman said.
