Huntley is a no-mark who deserves everything he gets ! Holly Wells & Jessica Chapman, were they deserving of what Huntley did to them ? Who's to be held accountable & negligent on their behalf ? As to the Prison service being negligent, absolute rubbish ! Are we supposed to assign a 24 hour guard to "protect" every deadbeat ?
It's a fact prisons are full of people who commit crimes, why the hell do you think they'll be any different inside than they were outside. They will continue to lie, thieve from, murder & assault others, it's in their nature & I for one would sooner have it happen to inmates than those "Innocents" outside the prison walls.
My father spent many years in the Prison service until his eventual retirement a few years back. Suffice to say what he saw sickened him & other P.O.'s in regard to the attitudes & behaviour of these "Victims of Society". As Officers they couldn't do a damn thing, rules & regulations forbade them, but if cons wanted to do cons ! What can you do ?
In this instance Gynn, I couldn't possibly align my perspective with yours & I think a large number will be of a similar opinion as my own.
