Tina Nash, who was brutally attacked and blinded by her ex-partner Shane Jenkin in 2011, expresses fear for her life after he was transferred to an open prison. Despite his history of violent behavior and multiple denied parole bids, Jenkin is now eligible for limited release, raising alarms for Nash and advocates. Criminal behavioral analyst Laura Richards criticized the decision, aligning focus on Jenkin's rights instead of the safety of Nash and the public. Nash recalls the terror of the attack during a time when her children were nearby, highlighting ongoing trauma and fear for her future.
I don't think he'll leave it, especially because I've spoken out about what he's done. I think that he has been sitting there this whole entire time kicking himself that he did not finish me off.
I'm extremely concerned about the decision to move Jenkin to an open prison, readying him for release after such a short time and given his appalling and sadistic violent acts to Tina.
There is too much weight and focus on Jenkin's right to freedom rather than where it should be, on Tina's right to life and safety and the safety of the public.
