Prison officer 'will be killed if government does not get a grip' after recent attacks, Robert Jenrick warns

  • Robert Jenrick warned that prison officers risk death if the government does not address recent violent attacks across UK prisons.
  • The warning follows attacks by inmates Axel Rudakubana and Hashem Abedi, with violence escalating sharply within the past month.
  • Abedi stabbed and threw hot oil at officers at HMP Frankland, while Rudakubana threw boiling water through a cell hatch at HMP Belmarsh.
  • Jenrick called for immediate issuance of stab vests to prison officers and expressed strong disregard for Rudakubana receiving any hot drinks, underscoring the dangerous conditions faced by staff.
  • The government ordered a snap prison safety review after Abedi’s attack, but the situation remains unresolved, with implications for officer protection policies.
