SWINE flu has been detected in a Victorian prison, sending five prisoners into lockdown.
THE inmates have been isolated in their cells at the medium security Marngoneet Correction Centre near Geelong after testing positive to swine flu.
A Corrections Victoria spokesman said their movements had been restricted to prevent the spread of the illness and their health is being monitored. He said Corrections Victoria was providing information to all staff, prisoners and visitors about the symptoms and prevention of the illness.
