I won't try to hide it. I am referring to the Bridger defendant in the April Jones case.
OK lets role forward 6 weeks and he is found guilty ad sentanced.
He goes to jail.
Who says OK he should be kept seperate from a other prisioners for his own safety?
Do they have to do that?
Personaly I'd make no allowances for him or any of the other peope of his ilk namely Huntly, and put them up as a normal prisioner in a normal cell on a normal wing

He can't even spell so I doubt that would ever happen.
agree, some people just have no real idea of how any institution should be run, if they did god help us all.
Ones who are violent are probably likely to be segregated as well.
They'd just need to torch his cell when he wasn't there or several other prisoners could approach the SO sperately and tell him the priosner was under threat of being attacked.
He'd be shipped out straight away.
Isn't that the point the OP is making though?
These people killed or molested kids, why should they be protected?
Because it is the guards who have to deal with it and their jobs are hard enough as it is.
Because we don't have a death penalty in this country and even if we did it would be unlikely to take the form of death by prison based mob
Because the prison authorities are responsible for the people in their custody regardless of why they are there to begin with.
You get sent to prison AS punishment, not to BE punished.
(1) Where it appears desirable, for the maintenance of good order or discipline or in his own interests, that a prisoner should not associate with other prisoners, either generally or for particular purposes, the governor may arrange for the prisoner's removal from association accordingly.
(2) A prisoner shall not be removed under this rule for a period of more than 3 days without the authority of a member of the board of visitors or of the Secretary of State. An authority given under this paragraph shall be for a period not exceeding one month, but may be renewed from month to month except that, in the case of a person aged less than 21 years who is detained in prison such an authority shall be for a period not exceeding 14 days, but may be renewed from time to time for a like period.
(3) The governor may arrange at his discretion for such a prisoner as aforesaid to resume association with other prisoners, and shall do so if in any case the medical officer or a medical practitioner such as is mentioned in rule 20(3) so advises on medical grounds.
(4) This rule shall not apply to a prisoner the subject of a direction given under Rule 46(1).
What a horrible person you are.
As horrible as Bridger and Huntly or worse?
To the other posters who have pointed out the consequences of the guards having to deal with such a situation I take that on-board and apologise for my comments. I would not want these peope to be caught up in it whatsoever.
Why are you comparing yourself to those people?
Indeed. Many seem to think the job of the prison officer is to assist sadism.
I'd like to think the vast majority of prison officers do the job in order to help people, rather than to satify their sadistic tendencies.
If we followed your idea then we may as well bring back the death penaltyy as those convicted of child murders and sex offences would eventually be killed.
Now I am not protecting child sex offenders etc but we have a justice system, and that system deals with the offender , its not for us to throw them in with the others and stand back and watch them be possibly beaten, tortured and murdered , that may be what they did to their victim but we dont behave that way as we are better than that, we recognise their right to safety even if they did not to their victim, we as a society deal in justice via the law and not revenge.
And as has been said imagine the job of the prison officer, it would be a nightmare.
I am sure they have but they should be above that , its a job where your personal feleings of revulsion should not come into it.
