EMERGENCY services have this afternoon been called to an incident at Winchester Prison.
A fire engine and ambulance are on standby outside the gates of the jail on Romsey Road.
An anonymous phonecall said there was a “rooftop protest” being held by an inmate unhappy at the length of time he has spent in the jail.
