Latest edition: May 2025

(Next edition 7th June 2025)
In this month’s 40 packed pages we lead with the fact that prisons in the UK will now face a major update – after prison officers were attacked with hot oil and home-made weapons. A terrorist prisoner convicted of being a conspirator in the Manchester Arena bombing that killed twenty-two people including many young children, allegedly injured four Prison Officers, three of whom suffered life-threatening injuries, in the Separation Centre at HMP Frankland on 12th April. Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood has now confirmed the use of Tasers will be trialled in prisons after the horrifying attack and following calls from the Prison Officers’ Association for their use. The electric stun guns will be issued to carefully selected and trained staff in selected prisons – and other forms of body armour are also being considered the Justice Secretary during a speech in the House of Commons.
