"I thought I was going to die"

Claire Lewis, from Washington, was left with life threatening injuries after an attack at HMP Frankland in 2010 and has been unable to work ever since.

The Justice Secretary says she wants tasers in prisons to be trialled and says an independent review will be carried out.
