Prisoners inside HMP Liverpool are "in lockdown" and being forced to wash themselves and flush toilets with bottled water.
Inmates at the Walton prison, based on Hornby Road, have reported to family members the prison has been facing issues with heating since Monday, November 21. It's reported prisoners are being given two bottles of water per day to "either drink, get washed with, or flush the toilet".
The Ministry of Justice (MOJ) has confirmed the source of the water problems is a leaking pipe, which they are working to fix.
