Giving evil murderers phones in their prison cells is an insult to hard-up, law-abiding Brits
BRITAIN’S worst prisoners are not in jail for special treatment.
So why are inmates at one of our most notorious prisons getting taxpayer-funded phones installed in individual cells?
HMP Frankland has been dubbed “Monster Mansion” for housing high- profile murderers like Ian Huntley, Levi Bellfield and ex-cop Wayne Couzens.
Many inside this Category A-jail already enjoy luxuries that some law-abiding but hard-up Brits struggle to afford, such as Xboxes.
Now they are “buzzing” because they can make calls in private and duck queues for communal phones.
These evil villains gave no thought for their victims.
So why should taxpayers have to cough up more for their comfort?
And how can we be sure they will not abuse the privilege by orchestrating crime from the comfort of their cells?
Only a few weeks ago unrepentant paedophile Gary Glitter was sent back to jail after we alerted authorities to his misuse of a phone.
The public are always being told that violent and drug-ridden jails need more resources.
They could save some cash immediately.
By scrapping this complete waste of taxpayer money.
Enough, slur Keir
EMILY Thornberry has made a desperate bid to defend Labour’s vile advert attack on Rishi Sunak.
The Shadow Attorney General justifies its baseless smear on the PM by claiming it would trigger a debate.
For your information Emily, proper debate involves rational discussions about issues.
This hysterical campaign ad claims Rishi Sunak does not want to see child abusers jailed.
It is Sir Keir Starmer’s crass attempt at character assassination.
In the wake of his own policy vacuum the Labour’s leader is clearly ready to plumb the depths.
Now who’s the nasty party, Sir Keir?
Get cowards in dock
THE refusal of murderers like Thomas Cashman to appear in court for sentencing has provoked understandable outrage.
There have even been calls for Justice Secretary Dominic Raab to change the law to prevent this.
But as prison union chief Mark Fairhurst makes clear, judges themselves already have the power to order a prisoner to face sentencing in person.
They should use it without fail to prevent this outrage ever happening again.
