Inmate walks out of prison


Inmate, 57, walks out of prison

Another inmate has walked out of Sudbury Open Prison in Derbyshire.

Michael Bould, 57, was sentenced to six years in prison for the supply of a Class A drug at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court on 26 March 2004.

He absconded on Thursday. Forty-nine inmates have absconded from the open prison since January.

Bould's last known address was in the Hanley area of Stoke. He is white, 5ft 9ins, has short grey hair and brown eyes. He also has a nickname of Pablo.

A total of 78 prisoners absconded from the open jail in 2006.

I could possibly understand the odd 1 every 10 years or so...but 78! I'm not sure if I agree with these "Open Jails". Isn't the whole point of going to jail to be locked up for doing something wrong? Not having an open jail like a hotel where people can just leave when they feel like it.
