Tensions remain high in the youth wing of a West Australian prison after six guards were allegedly injured during a riot and inmates freed themselves from their cells.

Casuarina Prison’s youth custodial officers feel unsafe following the incident on Saturday when a guard’s keys were allegedly stolen, and she was hit with a makeshift weapon.
