The Nolan Show can reveal shocking new figures this morning. It's not just prison officers under threat in our jails. Over the last three years there have been over 800 prisoner on prisoner assaults in Northern Ireland. 409 were in Maghaberry. Safety at Maghaberry prison is in the spotlight again this morning. Inspectors are to report to Stormont's Justice committee later today. That's after it was labelled the most dangerous prison ever visited by Her Majesty's Chief Inspector of Prisons. The report last November said the County Antrim jail was in crisis and described it as unstable and unsafe for prisoners and staff.
