Prison guards suspended over sick ‘grab a Muslim’ game where they ‘kept score’ on WhatsApp group
Officers played provoking game targeting mostly black and Asian lags, with Muslims worth the most points
PRISON officers are alleged to have goaded Muslim inmates until they had to be restrained, then “kept score” in a WhatsApp group.
Eight guards are suspended, with one arrested, over the racist game.
The officers at Nottingham jail are said to have targeted mostly black and Asian lags, with Muslims allegedly worth the most points.
The only white prisoners picked on were converts to the religion or drug addicts, it is claimed. Betting is believed to have taken place based on points totals.
One source said: “The officers are said to have engineered a confrontation so they could have reason to restrain inmates. The language they are said to have used was vile.
“There is no place for racism in the Prison Service.”
