Naked inmates were made to fight in a horrific video which was posted online. The footage allegedly shows prison inmates, high on Spice, being made to fight naked ‘like dogs’ in the UK.
Filmed in Northumberland Prison on a smuggled mobile phone, two men can be seen stripped naked and restrained with dog leads inside a cell, reports the Teeside Gazette.
The inmates – said to be from Teesside – are believed to be under the influence of the psychoactive drug Spice, which can bring on frightening hallucinations.
The two men can then be seen headbutting, biting and clawing at each other as two clothed men laugh and cheer as they let them off the leash.
The Prison Officers’ Association (POA) has described the clip as a “sad example of how Spice has taken over local prisons”.
A second video shows a separate inmate rolling around on the floor, clearly under the influence.
Glyn Travis, for the POA, said: “It is unfortunately a very, very serious but common problem and not just in private prisons like Northumberland, but in jails up and down the country.
“As sad as it is, this is the reality of life in prison.
“These shocking videos that people in normal society will find grossly offensive, are all too common in prisons although to hear that two men are being made to fight like dogs is very unusual.”
