    An inmate at Canterbury's Rolleston Prison forced the facility into lockdown by scaling his way on to a roof and damaging the property

    An inmate at Canterbury's Rolleston Prison forced the facility into lockdown by scaling his way on to a roof and damaging the property


    The incident - which took place on Sunday - has occurred twice at the prison in six weeks.

    Acting general manager Russell Watkins says staff responded immediately - and the prisoner voluntarily climbed off the roof about an hour later.

    He says the prisoner has been relocated and a review of the incident would take place.

    Police have been notified.
