Prisoners reportedly released themselves into the institution\u2019s courtyard using keys seized from an officer earlier this afternoon, after approximately five days of inadequate food and water as well as being put on total lockdown on December 18.<\/p>

The keys were supposedly procured after inmates threw fecal matter and urine at an officer.<\/p>\n

The riot squad and local police force were reportedly called to the scene and it is alleged that tear gas and rubber bullets were used with one prisoner being shot by a rubber bullet.<\/p>
