NEW BRUNSWICK, CANADA - Inmates at a federal prison in central New Brunswick were under lockdown yesterday after inmates broke lights, windows, small appliances, sprinklers and tried to start a small fire a night earlier.

Fifty-six inmates in a unit at the maximum-security Atlantic Institute in Renous, about 30 kilometres from Miramichi, refused to return to their cells around 10 p.m. and started throwing chairs and breaking things, prison spokesman Stephan Breau said.

A warden at the prison declared a riot nearly three hours later, and the inmates didn't return to their cells until around 7 a.m. yesterday. Read more.
