Boris could blast him off with a water cannon, that's what 'civilised' people do isn't it?

Ugh drown the ****, it's not the "gov"'s fault he murdered his uncle.

I have no time or sympathy for anyone who has taken a life especially cruel and premeditated murder ,and scum like this ,who didn't learn any lessons the first time should imo be left to rot , in shackles,on a bed of straw, with bread and water. I am still pissed at the money spent on the two scumbags who murdered James Bulger,we are far too soft,let that guy on that roof stay there and ignore him, but we wont,we'll be trying to beg him to get back inside and listen to his gripes.

We can't go backwards though can we, is that what people want 19th century prisons with Dickensian punishments?

Staffing cuts are to blame for disturbances in two separate prisons last weekend, the prison officers’ union has said. It warned of hidden costs to the cuts, saying that they were leading to some prisoners going unsupervised.

Prison riot squads had to storm a cell at the high-security Whitemoor prison in Cambridgeshire last weekend when a prisoner took a hostage. Negotiators failed to persuade the hostage-taker, who had flooded the cell and started fires, to end the siege, which lasted nine hours.

On the same day, riot squads ended a standoff involving 13 prisoners who erected barricades blocking two entrances to one of the wings at Garth prison, in Lancashire.

“Once again, we are seeing serious incidents which we believe are a result of staff cuts. These have resulted in a lack of purposeful activity and prisoners being unsupervised,” said Glyn Travis, spokesman for the Prison Officers Association. “Such incidents were costly and involve detailed investigations by the prison service and the police. These are the hidden costs of the cuts to the taxpayers.”

Two more incidents that show failings brought about by cuts to the prison service.

Here is an update on our civilised prison system.

''Dozens of prisoners have been released by mistake, official figures from the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) have revealed, and prison violence has surged to a new high.

In 2016-17, 71 convicted criminals or suspects were mistakenly freed, a rise of seven on the previous year and the highest number since current records began a decade ago. It means inmates were released in error at a rate of more than one a week.

The number of violent incidents across the prisons estate in England and Wales has also reached new levels. There were 26,643 assaults in the year to March, including a record 7,159 attacks on staff, equating to 20 a day.

Of the mistaken releases, 58 were from prison establishments and 13 were during escort or at courts. Prisoners released in error are not considered to be unlawfully at large, according to an MoJ report setting out the figures.''

Serious assaults on staff have trebled since 2013.
