The Prison Service says an incident at Maidstone Prison, involving 40 inmates, has now been resolved without injury. National resources were deployed to deal with the incident. A second incident at Rye Hill prison in Warwickshire was also resolved.
The Prison Service says there has also been a disturbance at Rye Hill Prison, near Rugby in Warwickshire, but it was unrelated to the Maidstone Prison incident.
"There was a passive demonstration at HMP Rye Hill where around 60 offenders refused to return to their cells," she said.
"This was peacefully resolved within a few hours."
