"Sent to the lord chancellor's office in August, the report is understood to recommend that lessons be learned from the US so that for the most dangerous prisoners privileges can be earned or taken away depending on closely monitored standards of behaviour. In the ADX Florence prison in Colorado, known as the Alcatraz of the Rockies, staff evaluate prisoners continuously. Those who behave well are rewarded with modest but significant extra privileges."
"David Lammy, the deputy prime minister, is facing demands to publish the report, which looks into why Hashem Abedi, who was jailed for life for helping his brother carry out the 2017 bombing, was able to target staff at HMP Frankland with boiling oil and homemade weapons in a planned ambush. Jonathan Hall KC, the independent reviewer of terrorism legislation, was commissioned to carry out the review in May by the then lord chancellor, Shabana Mahmood. She requested that it be returned promptly."
An investigation examined how Hashem Abedi targeted staff at HMP Frankland with boiling oil and homemade weapons in a planned ambush. The investigation recommends a behaviour-based privileges-and-punishments regime for the most dangerous prisoners, modeled on ADX Florence, where staff evaluate prisoners continuously and award modest extra privileges for good conduct while removing privileges and restricting contacts for bad behaviour. Jonathan Hall KC conducted the investigation after being commissioned in May by then lord chancellor Shabana Mahmood; findings reached the lord chancellor's office in August. Parliamentary figures, including Andy Slaughter, have demanded immediate publication; the MoJ cites recent changes and heavy workloads.
