Prisoner transfers sparks inquiry
An urgent inquiry is under way after claims “difficult” inmates were transferred between jails possibly to deceive prison inspectors.
The transfers were first uncovered by Dame Anne Owers, the chief inspector of prisons, who immediately sent inspectors in to investigate “because of the seriousness of this allegation, and the implications for the prisoners involved”.
Home Affairs editor? Regurgitating the MoJ press releases more like!
I take issue with "first uncovered by Dame Anne Owers".
Never heard of the "Ghost Train"? "Merry Go Round"? "The prison on the motorway"? CI 10/74? For example, when Willie Whitelaw was Home Secretary the so-called IRA prisoners and others who may be difficult would be taken from Hull Prison and driven up the motorway to Leeds and back whilst the Home Secretary visited Hull Prison.
To prisoners this is not news, it's history.
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.
