An investigation into security at Bullwood Hall women's prison in Hockley was under way today after an inmate sparked a five-and-a-half hour rooftop showdown with guards - because she didn't like her lunch.
The prisoner got on to a roof at the prison at around midday yesterday following a dispute about the canteen.
She came down after staff spent all afternoon negotiating with her.
