Prison officers have expressed overwhelming disapproval of government plans to privatise jails.

The Prison Officers Association revealed the results of a ballot on Wednesday showing that nearly nine out of 10 members are resistant to proposals for "market testing". The workplace vote saw 87.4 per cent of staff vote against the move on a 70 per cent turnout.
