A British security firm has been accused of "shocking" abuses and of losing control at one of South Africa's most dangerous prisons.
The South African government has temporarily taken over the running of Mangaung prison from G4S and launched an official investigation.
It comes after inmates claimed they had been subjected to electric shocks and forced injections.
G4S says it has seen no evidence of abuse by its employees.
The BBC has obtained leaked footage filmed inside the high security prison, in which one can hear the click of electrified shields, and shrieking. It also shows a prisoner resisting a medication.
