MAJOR SECURITY BREACH AT HMP MILLSIKE
AT 6PM YESTERDAY 5TH NOVEMBER A MAJOR DISTURBANCE ERUPTED AT HMP MILLSIKE FOLLOWING E WING BEING REFUSED UNLOCK FOR FOOD
THE INMATES ON E WING BEGAN SMASHING THE CELLS UP, RESULTED IN RAPID ESCALATION
SOURCES CLOSE TO THE PRISON INDICATE THIS HAS RESULTED IN SPECIALIST TORNADO NATIONAL RESPONCE TEAM BEING DRAFTED IN , COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS THE TORNADO TEAM REPORTINGLY HAVING MOVED IN AT APPROX 10PM
HMP PRISONS JUSTICE GROUP UNDERSTANDS THAT THIS HAS RESULTED IN DAY STAFF HAVING TO STAY ON DUTY TO TRY AND MAINTAIN CONTROL
HMP MILLSIKE HAVE BEEN ASKED FOR COMMENT BUT HAVE YET TO RESPOND.
HMP MILLSIKE WAS PUT INTO EMERGENCY CONTROL BY GOLD COMMAND AND WAS PLACED INTO LOCKDOWN UNTIL APPROX 11AM THIS MORNING.
TENSIONS HAVE BEEN RISING AT THIS FACILITY FOR SOME TIME, WITH REPORTS OF VIOLENCE OUT OF CONTROL, RAMPANT DRUGS USE, AND UNACCEPTABLE MISMANAGMENT BY THE LEADERSHIP.
INTERESTINGLY LAST YEAR AT HMP PARC WHILST THERE WAS A ONGOING RIOT THE SAME SET OF CIRCUMSTANCES UNFOLDED WITH THE MOJ REFUSING TO COMMENT AT THE TIME.
IN SITUATIONS SUCH AS THIS, THE GENERAL PROCESS IS THAT THE COMMAND SUITE IS OPENED UP BY THE LEADERSHIP AND THIS IS MANAGED BY A GOVERNOR AND EVENTUALLY ESCALATED TO GOLD COMMAND WHO WILL THEN DIRECT THE OPERATION AS THE LEAD
WHILST OFFICAL CLARIFICATION IS UNCONFIRMED, DUE TO THE SECURITY ISSUE THE MOJ ARE KEEPING ZIPPED AND BEING DIFFICULT WHICH WE BELIEVE TO BE UNACCEPTABLE
THIS PRISON IS A PRIVATE JAIL THAT OPENED UP IN APRIL THIS YEAR AND IS RUN BY A SECURITY COMPANY CALLED “MITIE CARE & CUSTODY AT A COST OF APPROX 370MILLION POUND, THISBPRIVATE COMPANY HAS OVER 9YEARS LEFT ON CONTRACT
HMP MILLSIKE, A CATAGORY C PRISON WITH 7 HOUSE BLOCKS HOLDING 1500 INMATES IN TOTAL
AT THE TIME OF OPENING IT WAS DESCRIBED BY THE MINISTRY OF JUSTICE AS A FLAG SHIP PRISON WITH THE LATEST ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY WITH THE INTENTION OF SETTING THE NEW STANDARD OF REHABILITATION
THIS SHOCKING REVELATION IS A VIVID DEMONSTRATION OF A PRIVATE PRISON SIMPLY UNABLE TO MAINTAIN ORDER
KIER STARMER PRIOR TO BECOMING PRIME MINISTER DID CONFIRM PRIOR TO HIS ELECTION VICTORY PLEDGED TO RETURN ALL JAILS ACCROSS ENGLAND AND WALES
THESE REPORTS ARE VERY CONCERNING & WE ARE GONNA KEEP MONITORING THIS SITUATION AND SEEK CLARIFICATION ON ALL MATTERS WITHIN TO ENSURE WE ARE FULLY REPORTING WITH ACCURACY ON THIS MAJOR SECURITY ISSUE
