Shocking accounts of assaults on prison officers at HMP Belmarsh have been given by former guards and inmates. In one incident prisoners are said to have swarmed on a victim at the high security jail and attacked him with socks filled with tuna cans.
They are given in a new Channel 5 documentary and have been accompanied by a fresh claim that senior managers at Belmarsh are ‘appeasing’ dangerous behaviour rather than clamping down on it.
Former prison officer George Shipton told of how a colleague had a knife held to his throat by a high-risk prisoner George Shipton told of another incident which came when two Category A prisoners managed to break free as they were being taken to court. The Ministry of Justice also says that violence as a whole across the prison estate is falling year-on-year.However, concerns remain about the growing number of offenders convicted of terrorism offences and the approach being used to keep the peace at maximum security jails.Hashem Abedi,
