Belfast, yesterday. The prison officer said that on Monday the senior chief officer in the prison had tola the warders that he was unhappy about the incident. It was necessary sometimes to use force to quell trouble, but he was not prepared to see prisoners abused once they had been subdued and he would not allow running the gauntlet. A number of other officers were said to be worried. They objected to the violence in principle, and thought it put their lives in danger.

In the past when prisoners had been assaulted, their paramilitary organisation had retaliated against prison officers, most of whom live in Loyalist areas. Crumlin Road is, theoretically, not segregated and wing contains Loyalist and Republican prisoners in adjoining cells. They are close enough to have some idea of what is happening, although they are never allowed into dining, recreation or exercise areas together. The Northern Ireland Office version of events is radically different. It said yesterday that it could "deny categorically thai prisoners had to run the gauntlet." It was incorrect that soldiers went in first, it said, and was grossly untrue that any prisoner had needed more than six stitches.

The office refused to discuss the chief officer said to have issued the warning about unnecessary violence, adding that because the gauntlet had not happened, it followed that the warning had not been given. There were, it said, no plans at present to. have a formal inquiry." Any decision on any inquiry would await a report from the governor, but one did not seem likely. The Army and the prison governor refused to comment.
