A former prison officer has raised alarm over the rising violence against prison staff, emphasizing the need for urgent support and action. Following brutal attacks on guards at HMP Frankland, allegedly by notorious inmate Hashem Abedi, he stated that such incidents are increasingly frequent and underreported. Government statistics reveal a troubling rate of assaults, and a government investigation into the incident has been promised. Calls for additional safety measures reflect growing concerns among prison staff about the current working environment, which they describe as more perilous than ever before.
"I don't think the public understand how dangerous it is for staff these days – it's worse now than it ever was."
"The attack, allegedly carried out by a notorious inmate, is just the tip of the iceberg as incidents against guards go underreported."
