One thing I would add to his excellent article is that both the professional body of psychologists who work in prisons and the prison governors association have warned about this - the former to Maria Miller's parliamentary select committee. Which makes the safeguarding failure even worse - because they were told at the highest levels that this would happen, by people whose expertise in the field was unsurpassed, and those with power to do something chose to ignore those very clear, unambiguous warnings.
