The prison authorities would have got telephone calls from some politicians and arranged this drama.It is the Justice minister who must take stern action against the prison authorities

Is there no set procedure when the cell doors are opened to admit another person into a cell. Surely in this day and age, are there no rules and regulations ? Should not the person in charge be charged for negligence ?
