Jailhouselawyer's Blog

A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.

Prisoner absconds from open jail

Prisoner absconds from open jail

A man who was jailed for causing the death by dangerous driving of a bride-to-be has absconded from an open prison in Derbyshire.

In May 2007, Marcus Barney, 25, was jailed at Oxford Crown Court for seven years after admitting the charge and failing to stop at an accident.

Carol Tegg, 26, died in the crash near Woodcote, in Oxfordshire, on 31 July 2006 - four days before her wedding.

Barney failed to return to HMP Sudbury from temporary leave on Thursday.

His last known address was in Hinckley, Leicestershire.

Barney is described as 5ft 11in tall, with black hair and brown eyes.

John Hirst Hull, East Yorkshire, GB "Who is John Hirst?" the Sun online questioned the day after the UK lost its appeal to the Grand Chamber of the ECtHR in the prisoners votes case. The profile was not very informative nor flattering. But, I don't like the Sun either so we are quits. I was born, at 2 I was put into Dr Barnardo's Homes. What they called care, we refer to it as physical and sexual abuse. I drifted into crime, and spent 35 years in prison. In spite of the system, I reformed and rehabilitated myself with the support of some within and outside of the system. I was transformed from a law breaker into a law-maker. I am firmly committed to prisoners rights, and am a campaigner for penal reform. I live in a 3 bedroom terrace house within a cul-de-sac, and have a dog as a companion. My Latvian friend keeps invading my space and telling me I need a wife. She does keep the house clean and tidy, but loves my dog and calls him her boyfriend... Recently, Viking FM have asked for advice and reports for the news on radio on Criminal Justice issues. In addition, I used to write regularly for Inside Time the National newspaper for prisoners.
