Hundreds of assaults on prison staff
Staff at prisons serving Shropshire were assaulted 278 times in a year, "appalling" new figures have shown.

HMP Oakwood, a £150 million privately run prison that holds inmates from Shropshire, has the third highest assaults figure in the country, with 137 reported.
Neighbouring Featherstone recorded 16 while Brinsford, which houses young offenders, recorded 59.
HMP Birmingham, which is now run by private firm G4S, recorded 62 assaults on staff and HMP Stafford recorded four.
Overall, assaults are down on 10 years ago apart from at Brinsford, where there were 34 assaults in 2004. All figures relate to 2013.
It comes 10 days after the Shropshire Star reported allegations that assaults at Featherstone Prison, near Wolverhampton, were going "unpunished" and that prisoners were able to get hold of a synthetic cannabis-type drug called black mamba.
The figures were revealed in response to a Parliamentary question by South Staffordshire MP Gavin Williamson, who said concerns about Featherstone had also been raised with him.
Mr Williamson asked what steps the Ministry of Justice was taking to ensure assaults were "vigorously" investigated and the perpetrators appropriately punished.
He was told there was a "new approach" where the ministry was working with the police and the Crown Prosecution Service to push for prosecutions when prison staff are attacked.
There were 3,148 assaults on prison staff across all UK prisons in 2013. HMP Oakwood was the third worst prison nationally, after HMP Thameside and HMP Feltham.
The figures go up to the end of 2013. But sources claimed there had been five staff assaulted or injured within three days this year at Featherstone, including one case of a worker being hit in the face with a broom handle.
HMP Oakwood has also been beset with various problems, including prisoners holding a nine-hour stand-off with guards in January.
