17 prison officers and six inmates injured in a Port of Spain prison incident described as a "riot" by social media.

17 prison officers and six inmates were injured in an incident at Port of Spain prison last Tuesday, with social media describing it as a "riot". Commissioner of Prisons Deopersad Ramoutar downplayed the event, saying it was "all in a day's work" for officers who are sometimes undervalued and unappreciated. All injuries were reported as minor, but all officers involved were sent on sick leave.
