More lost prison keys!
A British prison union official says a Birmingham prison officer's set of keys has gone missing and now every lock at one of the country's largest prisons holding some 1400 inmates must now be replaced.
Terry Fullerton of the Prison Officers Association said Friday he's been told the set went missing a couple days ago and an investigation is underway. He says the keys could have been stolen and copied.
Birmingham Prison became the first British prison to be privatised when security firm G4S took over this month. G4S says it doesn't comment on security but that contingency measures are in place.
