That's right, apparently some of them behaved like they didn't respect anyone, G4S.

I mean when the prisoners are saying there isn't enough staff....

The thing I found hilarious was someone from the government saying the prisoners who rioted would face 'the full weight of the law'. Errrr, they're in prison already.

Well, if there aren't enough staff to supervise them they end up locked in their cells all day. You may think that's the point, but bored people have a tendency to misbehave a lot more than people whose time is occupied do. 'The devil makes work for idle hands' and all that.

I know that, but that's the first time I've ever seen that sort of comment out there.
