Last month I worked undercover at HMP Bedford, one of the most dangerous jails in the country. I was hired by an agency without thorough checks - they didn’t even Google my name! - and then I was able to walk inside and interact with prisoners without security searches.
On two out of eight days that I worked at the prison, there was no one manning the security scanners at the front entrance when I arrived for work. This allowed me and several others to walk inside the jail and through to prisoner wings without even the most basic searches.

@pmorganbentley Prison should be fully Nationalised. This isn't 1900s Russia. It's C21st Britain. It's extremely unlikely to end up at Gulags. I'm a fan of middle grounds but on public services often the closer to the middle between fully Nationalised and regulated free market the worse they get
