A jail is spending £250 000 on replacing all its locks after a bunch of keys was screened in a TV news clip.
Prison chiefs at Feltham Young Offenders' Institution were worried people could use the clip to make copies. They are replacing their 11 000 locks and 3 200 keys which could cost the taxpayer £250 000, reports the Mirror.
An ITN crew was reporting on the public inquiry into the racist killing of Asian inmate Zahid Mubarek.
Feltham governor Andrew Cross said: "The establishment is going through a re-locking."
ITN said it was "looking into the matter".
Mark Leech, editor of the Prisons Handbook, said: "ITV News should pay the cost in Feltham if they are found to have been responsible for the security breach."
