A group of men involved in a mass disorder at a prison in 2018 have been sentenced.

A total of 13 men at HMP & YOI Swinfen Hall in Lichfield erupted into a fight after a lone prisoner was first attacked on 6 August which later erupted into a mass disorder.

A group of prisoners on a wing were in their designated exercise yard when a lone prisoner, Daijon Johnson, was first assaulted by Adil Khan which then erupted into a large disorder.

Due to the number of prisoners involved, prison officers called for more assistance from colleagues on a different wing.

A number of other prisoners then came from the other wing and joined in with the disorder. A number of prisoners involved received serious injuries as a result.

Various levels of violence took place along with the use of an improvised weapon, a piece of plastic cutlery made into a knife, which was used to against fellow prisoners by Adil Ali and Clayton Beech.

No prison officers were targeted but two were injured as a result of restraining prisoners.

Detective Sergeant Ian Whitehouse, from CID south, said: “This was a large-scale fight in a prison that could’ve easily erupted into something even bigger.
 
“Prison officers were put under immense pressure to bring the disorder to an end.”

Jerome Russell, 22, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 24 months suspended for violent disorder.

Adil Khan, 22, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 21 months, suspended for 24 months for violent disorder.
