Missed TV shows provoke prison riot

[Jazzy]

A riot broke out inside New York's Rikers Island after prisoners were sent to bed early and missed their favourite TV shows.

More than 60 prisoners inside the the notorious jail refused to comply with the newly introduced 9pm curfew.

They reportedly refused to return to their cells for around two hours before guards used pepper spray to gain control of the situation.

The criminals are usually allowed to stay up until 11pm watching shows such as Criminal Minds and ABC's Mistresses in the prison's common room.

"They went nuts because they are being locked up at 9 pm and missing all of their favourite TV shows," a source told the New York Post.
