Eighteen prisoners are being transferred after a disturbance broke out at a West Midlands Prison. The disturbance involved a number of inmates, one of whom managed to get onto the roof of HMP Featherstone, a category C prison near Wolverhampton.
A Home Office spokesman said extra support was drafted into the prison and the situation was brought under control after three hours.
The trouble began on Monday afternoon but it is not known what caused it.
As a result of the trouble, 18 prisoners are being taken to other prisons in the area.
