APNewsBreak: UK prison loses set of keys (AP)

LONDON ? The inmates are locked up, but where's the key?

A British prison union official says a Birmingham Prison officer's set of keys has gone missing and now every lock at the country's largest prison must now be replaced.

Terry Fullerton of the Prison Officers Association said Friday he's been told the set went missing a couple days ago and an investigation is underway.

He says the keys could have been stolen and copied.

Birmingham Prison became the first U.K. prison to be privatized when security firm G4S took it over this month.

G4S says it doesn't comment on security but that contingency measures are in place.

It's unclear whether the some 1,400 inmates are currently being held in their cells or elsewhere.
