turnhout - In a prison in the Belgian town of Turnhout, detainees have been revolted Sunday night. They did not want to go back to their cell because they did not agree with new rules from the management. After long consultation, the uprising was resolved without violence and all prisoners returned.

According to a spokeswoman for the prison, 72 detainees refused to return to their cell after the evening walk. 'There was displeasure about reform plans by the local management, which meant that detainees could keep less personal material in their cell,' the spokeswoman told the VRT.

Help from local and federal police was called. After three hours of negotiations, around 23. 00 hours everyone was back in his cell.
