Six prisoners at Victoria Road are still refusing their prison meals.

The prisoners started their hunger strike last week in protest at the smoking ban which was introduced in the prison in March.

The Department of Home Affairs says they're being monitored by members of the prison healthcare team and each has a personal care plan.

The prisoners are also being seen regularly by their personal officers.

None of them are currently giving any cause for concern regarding their health, but all will be closely observed for any changes.
