Frankland prison officers were attacked by Manchester Arena, the bomb, Hashem Abedi, on Saturday (April 12) while using the kitchen in the classroom.
One of the officers was discharged on the same day, but there are still two in the hospital after he was “severe stab wounds.” Both guards are in a stable condition, according to the President of the Prison Officers Association (Poa), Mark Verrast.
The attack – which left the employees to clean their “blood” – caused a stir throughout the country, including Mary Kelly Foy, the deputy act of HMP Frankland.
The deputy in Durham wrote to the Minister of Justice to address “the urgent need to take action” to protect prison officers.
This follows the questions surrounding how Abedi can design “homemade weapons” and the role that the separation wings should play in the future. The government has announced the closure of kitchens on all secession centers in prisons.
In a letter to Shabana Mahmoud, Mrs. Foy urged the government to “the strongest possible conditions” to provide resistant jackets for prison officers in all prisons.
“The lack of protection equipment leaves officers exposed to attacks such as those in Frankland, where temporary weapons and expansion oil have been used for a devastating effect.”
“This is a highly dangerous environment, and the equipment of officers who have stabbing jackets would represent a vital step to protect their lives in the case of more incidents of this type.”
The Ministry of Justice (MOJ) said it will be a review of the accident, and has suspended access to kitchens in the separation and close supervisory units – such as the wing in Frankland, housing Abedi – where prisoners are kept away from the public population in prisoners.
Mrs. Foy – who was first elected in 2019 – asks the government to think about reducing retirement age for prison officers – currently sitting in 68 – and improving their salaries to “better compatibility with the facts that come with this risky profession.”
Only last month, Northern Echo reported the demands of injury from employees who were assaulted by prisoners in prison that could cost more than 1.3 million pounds.
According to the data obtained through accident claims, the total costs of requesting the injury in the prison amounted to 1,307,921.34 pounds, as the highest amount in 2021/22 was 978,569.42 pounds.
Mrs. Voy described the numbers as a “shock” and said that her ideas remain with the families of the officers who attacked her, as she told the Northern Echo: “These horrific figures give a real look at the risks faced by our prison officers every day.
“Prison officers are often forgotten.”
“My thoughts remain with the injured prison officers, as well as their families and colleagues during the investigations.”
They added: “By addressing this crisis, we can begin to improve prison conditions to reduce the need for compensation claims and ensure the spending of taxpayer funds more effectively.
“The government is investing in the maintenance of prisoners and security, and violent prisoners will face other employees or prisoners the full consequences of their actions.”
It also said, Abedi was convicted of the help of the Manchester terrorist plot, as his suicide bomber, Salman Abedi, killed 22 people by detonating a homemade timing bomb in a crowd of concert pioneers in Ariana.
He was delivered for at least 55 years in August 2020.
