Robert Jenrick: Officers concern being labelled racist in the event that they step in. | Politics | News | EUROtoday

This is a particularly regarding incident and my ideas are with the officers affected, considered one of which is in a really critical situation. It is ridiculous that some of the harmful prisoners within the nation – with a historical past of attacking officers – was allowed entry to supplies which may very well be used to assault jail officers.

Prison governors have to cease appeasing these offenders. The security of jail officers is infinitely extra vital than the supposed ‘welfare’ of depraved terrorists. We want a full impartial investigation into the catastrophic safety failure at HMP Frankland. We have to know the reality and the Ministry of Justice must get a grip.

It comes following critical issues in regards to the jail management’s capacity to include the menace from Islamist extremist inmates. Self-styled ‘Muslim Brotherhood’ leaders management wings in lots of high-security prisons.

Instead of isolating them, the system is defending them – not officers or the general public.

Islamist gangs run shadow sharia courts, dictate diets and implement their guidelines with threats and flogging. Officers concern being labelled racist in the event that they step in. This is appeasement, not punishment.

This appalling incident have to be a turning level. The Government should strip again judicial interference in operational selections concerning extremist inmates and increase separation centres. We should reclaim management of our prisons.
