To the inmates' astonishment, two senior prison officers suddenly opened the prison's steel and barbed-wire gates and, along with the 40 guards on duty, simply walked away. The two officers and other members of the staff had complained that their authority was being undermined by prisoners' complaints and a successful court action for assault brought...
