They are broken up into like minded groups, monitored by CCTV, officer response to an incident, 3 or 4 maybe, need more you have to lock the prison down. It's a dangerous place for screws and prisoners alike, made worse by the softly softly do gooders who see crimes as victims. Don't end up in prison is my advice.

Having worked in a UK Cat C prison, I can tell you the regime was much more like isolation or solitary. The prisoners were locked in their cells apart from a rota of isolated execise periods. If they left the cells for any reason they were escorted by a minimum of 2 officers. No association was permitted.
This guy was in a much more relaxed environment apparently. Until he was killed. I find it hard to believe that the regime was less restricted in Long Lartin which is a Cat A prison.

That sounds more like management, good order and security than protection.
Think these guys were in protection [UK rule 45] in Victoria about 25 % of prisoners are in some form of protection, no way could you have the manpower or space to run that many prisoners in isolation.

They should have taken him down to the laundry and put him in the industrial washing machine at the boil cycle.

Only the terminally impressionable (such as prison convicts) would decipher their behaviour as boosting their reputation or forgiving their earlier crimes*. All the parties in this, in particular Anwar, are blights on society.

*Presumably the former isn't it. They get some kind of positive rep in jail.

I did not want to forgive their crimes... just buy them each a cup of hot chocolate!

So glad to see the applause given to two inmates, by members on here. Compassion for two upstanding Pikeys, who became multiple killers.
Jesus, I thought "Sun " readers where weird.
