The staff culture at HMP Bristol has been described as "rotten" by a source amid claims of racism towards Asian inmates.
BristolLive understands the alleged incidents of discrimination are being investigated and that a Prisoners' Committee has been set up in one of the prison's wings to empower inmates, exchange experiences and show support and solidarity with each other.
The Prison Service has said it has a zero tolerance towards discrimination in their prisons and it will not hesitate to stamp it out.
