We just have the wrong kinds of jails. What we need for people like this is the Supermax variant that USA has. Richard Reed (the british Shoe Bomber who filed to light his shoe) was sent there, not because he's an amazing escape artist so needed the extra security, but as a form of societal revenge.
In America they designed a special solitary confinement prison keeping people in total segregation from all humanity forever. Entombed alive is what it is. 23 hrs of solitude followed by 1 hr of solitude in a larger room. Never ever see another human, never speak to one, never see daylight..... the list goes on. Now that's what you call putting the boot in (excuse the pun)
BBC News - Just how bad are American 'supermax' prisons?
Ian Brady would not be making arguments to go to prison if this was where he was headed. I for one would love to see him there, and would pay for his flight.
