UK prison officers demand urgent protection after violent attacks, prompting review of safety measures.

A UK prison officers' union has called for increased protection after two violent incidents left four officers injured at HMP Woodhill and Gartree Prison. An officer was slashed in the neck and ear at HMP Woodhill, while a female officer suffered a broken bone at Gartree after an inmate threw a TV at her. The Prison Officers' Association warns that violence is escalating and demands a review of prison regimes. The Lord Chancellor announced a review into protective body armor and a trial of Tasers in jails to address the issue.
