"LONDON — Rioting inmates caused heavy damage to a low-security prison Saturday, smashing windows and setting fires that engulfed buildings and spewed clouds of black smoke.
Officials said about 40 inmates at Ford Open Prison near Arundel, 60 miles (95 kms) south of London, began the disturbance at around midnight New Year's Eve after some prisoners refused to take breath tests for alcohol.
By midday, two buildings were still ablaze, though fires had been extinguished at several other buildings, which were heavily damaged."

Conservative commenters weigh in: What grivances these poor litle prisioners have? Had to live in a palcelike prison. I hope they treble their sentences and through the key away. Again the cost comes out of our pockets. I am sure they are all on benefits ever since they left school including the lot who have no right to be there at all.

What are the odds they are letting the prisoners freeze in the cold?
