These two attract trouble.
someone set this up and your officers are being paid to do these thing. HMP you need a good clean out all new officer and head master cause you all just showing up to work but not doing your work. HMP is not that big that you cant get your inmate in check or keep inmate away from each other.
stop take the money and close your eyes officer
time will tell when you get what coming to you.
"In 2022 a bladed weapon was found during a search of the defendant’s cell. The court heard that Mr Norford had not taken part in any prison work, counselling or educational programmes. As a result of his behaviour, he was housed in either the maximum-security unit or in segregation at HM Prison Balsam Ghut."
History does repeat itself.
These two already stabbed Chambers to death in prison! What is happening? Our prison run by serial murderers?
