ROME - Inmates in four Italian prisons have revolted over new rules introduced to contain the coronavirus outbreak, leaving one prisoner dead and others injured, a prison rights group said on Sunday .

Rights group Antigone said an inmate had died at the Modena jail, though the circumstances were not yet clear. At Modena, near Bologna, two prison officers were injured and around 20 staff members had to leave the prison. "We are told other prisoners inside the jail have barricaded themselves in and probably have illegal weapons".At the Torre del Gallo jail in Pavia, south of Milan, two guards were reportedly taken temporarily hostage, enabling prisoners to steal the keys and release their fellow convicts.
