"We are just waiting for a complete riot," says an officer at a large prison in England. "For the first time I think we're only in control due to the prisoners' good will."

On July 26th inmates' good will ran out in Ranby prison in Nottinghamshire as prisoners took over part of the jail. It took officers eight hours to regain control.
