Gosh, how sad. (100% sarcastic)

I’m pretty sure he was seriously injured a while ago too. Must have been in the isolation wing or something since then.

Costs about £50k per year per prisoner doesn't it? Think of all that money saved...

;)

Care to elaborate? 🤣

I'm in Scotland, I worked in an HMP. There was very much one hall for protection, and 3 others for mainstream prisoners. They were never moved at the same time. There was also a top end and a segregation unit.

no words
i can’t get this out of my head now. Horrific

If you think that's distasteful, best avoid social media for the memes that started dropping literally the moment the news hit.

What were they??

There'll be an enquiry. And a murder trial. That'll cost £££.

First time in a while that the news has made my day.

@CrystalShoe

Considering that child sex offenders are housed together, it's quite likely that Ian Watkins' murderer is also a child abuser.

@Happyjoe "if someone had murdered Hitler when he was 18 years old, well.."

If you honestly think that the Third Reich, Nazism, WWII etc. wouldn't have happened had Hitler died young, you are very much mistaken.

Of all the pearls to clutch...

Oh ok yeah, different kettle of fish in Scotland. Makes sense.

8000 prisoners makes segregation much easier vs 88000 prisoners in Victorian jails 😏 not to mention the difference in the way we categorise our prisoners in England and Wales.

Sometimes natural justice has its place.

Strongly disagree to the first part.

Strongly agree to the second part... wish they'd have waited until his release date to kill him... but slowly and painfully.

I know, I'm can't even.

It's not. Dh's father was a prison officer in a maximum security prison in the 90s and they had to keep paedophiles on different wings and away from other prisoners to prevent them getting attacked.

It's been on all the news programmes today. I'm amazed you've avoided it tbh.

I think so, I'm finding the lols, laughing emoji and cracking open the champagne a lot to stomach. I'm glad the man is dead, but any joyous celebration regarding anything to do with this case seems a bit grotesque. Slashing someone's throat with a handmade blade is also a horrifically violent, depraved crime. Why anyone would want to shake the hand of someone who could do that is sickening. This thread is just showing how depraved society is in general.

I hope the victims find some sort of closure, and hopefully the huge swell of publicity and sm media attention this gets doesn't make things worse for them, rawer, more oblique.

I worked in barlinnie prison. It's a Victorian jail, with the original plumbing intact. So many rats. This is a good doc on the place, there's also the Ross Kemp one.

Not for the feint hearted or anyone who is a parent, or anyone really. I vomited.

Doesn't this not concern anyone? That vile people getting what they deserve also means that the same vile people have access to undeserved privileges, because the staff who are supposed to be in control clearly are not. What a messed up system

The most evil man

Sorry if I find nothing humorous about it.

Sweet summer child. The stories some of the old boys took home 🤣. In fact they still do. Admittedly, the 90s were much better. We had so many more resources, unrecognisable to the service we see 3 decades later i’m afraid.

This prisoner was killed today. Not in 1992.
