maybe there is justice after all

Reading this thread my head agrees with whats being said about it not being right etc.

But I do honestly think 'good' I'm not going to feel ashamed about it either.

A man who abuses and tortures a child has no sympathy when a grown adult does similar to him.

He sickens me.

And I hope someone finishes him off next time.

Strikes me if we're 110% he is the perpetrator of this horrific crime ie killing that baby and none of us can stomach him being attacked in a place where he is meant to be protected then the answer all around is to hang him, get it over and done with.
I know it'll cost more but isn't it more humane ?

Sorry, to hang him will mean its over and done with too quickly.
He deserves to suffer indefinately, have to always be looking over his shoulder as that poor defenceless baby did.

I totally agree with you Disenchanted3.

ok justice was the wrong word to use

Agree with Disenchanted and izzybiz.

Wasn't he also found guilty of raping a 2 year old girl?

No sympathy here. I hope his life in prison will be long and miserable.

I dont have sympathy for him either.

But the guy who did it to him may very well be a raping, abusing scumbag too.

He is now a hero and thats probably why he did it.

I doubt he was someone serving a few months for not having a tv licence.

che the person who did it will probably lose parole for a while, or get another chunk added to their sentence. They would unlikely do it and risk this if they were in for less than say 4 years, but someone with a hefty sentence would lose very little by doing it, and gain a lot of respect, which is essential when doing significant time. So, what kind of crimes get hefty sentences? Definitely not tv licence evasion thats for sure.

a convicted criminal assaulting another prisoner isnt a hero.by any stretch of imagination

barker will probably get move to vpu and hospital wing for treatment.

the other prisoner will lose any privileges and probably get time added to existing sentence

this notion of noble crims handing out justice and transforming selves into hero for doing so is laughable

would this be the same criminals many beleive have contributed to so called broken britain

agreed

Pennies it was actually 'let him who is without sin cast the first stone'

He's in Wakefield Prison so highly likely the guy that attacked Barker is serving a lengthy sentence for some kind of violent and/or sexual offence.

However I work in the criminal justice system, am all for rehabilitation of offenders, anti capital punishment etc and I KNOW prisoners doling out their own version of justice is WRONG. However my first instinct was to think 'good, serve him right'. Hard to rise above it all when you know what he did.

I am with those having a split repsonse.

For all sorts of intelligent and reasonable reasons I think what happened was unaccptable savagery.
But my heart went 'fair enough'

the deep rooted anger and revulsion barker evokes is understandable.however that in itself isnt reason to condone unprovoked attack

point of justice is to contain and remove those who undertake deviant and/or criminal acts from population.punishment and containment

the assault took place in wakefield High secure hmp,so the perpetrator likely to be v seriosu crime too
