NSW: Long Bay jail staff walk off job=2

A spokeswoman for the Department of Corrective Services said the 1,100 prisoners at
Long Bay Correctional Complex were under lockdown until the dispute was resolved.

"There are negotiations ongoing between the department and the union," she said.

"Commissioned officers will be looking after them (inmates) until the union decides
