Messages reveal prison staff violence towards inmates
Leaked messages show prison staff at a Welsh prison laughing at violent encounters with inmates and making fun of self-harm incidents.
In them, one staff member at privately run HMP Parc in Bridgend responded to a complaint about an inmate and said: “The prisoners need to be broken mentally and physically.”
It is understood the messages, seen by the BBC, were shared on social media last summer.
G4S, which runs HMP Parc, said it had a “zero tolerance” approach to staff behaviour that fell short of its standards.
In the messages, one exchange about an inmate said: “XXX opened the door and they smashed him into the shower lol.”
