'Multiple cases of coronavirus have been confirmed inside Belmarsh Prison, and one inmate has died after contracting the virus.
The PA News Agency understands that as of 5pm on Sunday, April 5, 107 prisoners had tested positive for Covid-19 in 38 UK jails, and nine prisoners with the virus have now died.
Many are worried that prisons could already be a breeding ground for the coronavirus, and the Government announced on Saturday that up to 4,000 low-risk prisoners will be temporarily released for jail in an effort to try and control the spread.
The nine deaths are made up of three inmates at HMP Littlehey in Cambridgeshire, a female prisoner at Low Newton, County Durham, and one inmate each at Birmingham, Manchester, Altcourse, Whatton, and Belmarsh in south east London.
Some 19 prison staff in 12 jails have contracted the virus as well as four prison escort and custody service staff.
Belmarsh Prison is a maximum-security jail housing 797 prisoners, including high-profile inmate Julian Assange as well as murderers, rapists, terrorists and more.'
