Popcru concerned over prison drama escape

The Police and Prisons Civil Rights Union has once again expressed its concern about security in prisons following the foiled escape attempt at the Zonderwater prison near Cullinan on Sunday Evening. Five inmates held prison officials hostage for several hours while trying to escape, before police regained control of the situation. One of the inmates was killed in the rescue, with another wounded. Popcru says the incident confirms that a shortage of prison staff could lead to more escape attempts.
