Prison officer 'saw prisoner's jaw being broken'

A prison officer who claims he witnessed a colleague breaking a prisoner's jaw said his supervising officer tried to influence him into giving a misleading statement to the governor.

Mr Barry Hayden, who was part of a 'control and restraint' team involved in involving the prisoner in the aftermath of a riot in Mountjoy Jail, told a Dublin Circuit Criminal Court jury he was shown a report by Mr Finbar Burke.
