PRISON?OFFICERS?at HMP Dodds did not carry out their threat of a sick-out yesterday, but sources report that there is still uneasiness at the St Philip penal institution.
A warder told the MIDWEEK NATION that while there was a skeleton staff early yesterday morning, the situation returned to normalcy as the day progressed.
However, he said: “This is the calm before the storm. It is chilly up here.”
