 A prisoner took crime prevention advice to heart by putting a safe in his cell to protect his valuables from fellow inmates who might have been tempted to do a little thieving.

The safe was found during searches at Kennet prison near Liverpool and confiscated by staff. In another cell, officers at the 334-inmate jail found a tattoo machine along with needles, ink and tattoo patterns.

 A suicidal prisoner apparently caused a collision between a police vehicle and a minibus-taxi that killed eight people near Moloto on Thursday evening, Mpumalanga police said.

A prisoner on his way to the Orange County Jail in a sheriff deputy's cruiser is in the hospital this morning after another vehicle struck the deputy's car.
