Third night of rioting at prison complex near Doncaster

An investigation will begin into violence at a prison complex in South Yorkshire.

A third night of rioting has occurred after disturbances broke out at Moorlands Young Offenders' Institution- a facility on the same site.

The Prison Service says more than 50 inmates refused to return to their cells during the evening. They surrendered after officers in riot gear were called in.

More than 80 inmates have been moved to other prisons because of damage caused during the disturbances.
