Prison officers at Australia's largest jail have begun a 48-hour strike over demands for more staff and better pay.
Officers at the Clarence Correctional Centre, near Grafton in the NSW Northern Rivers region, walked off the job at 6am on Wednesday and won't return until 7am on Friday.
This will mean the 1000 prisoners, including a men's maximum security wing, will likely be confined to their cells for two days and nights.
