Questions over 'unjust' suspension of manager after asylum seeker error
Ministers have been warned against scapegoating prison staff as they struggle to contain the fallout of the mistaken release of an asylum seeker who sexually assaulted a girl.
As David Lammy, the justice secretary, announced an inquiry and blamed “human error” for the accidental freeing of Hadush Kebatu from HMP Chelmsford, the Prison Officers’ Association (POA) questioned yesterday why a single member of staff had been “unjustly” suspended.
Charlie Taylor, the chief inspector of prisons, also warned that it would be “very easy to throw an individual at Chelmsford under the bus for this” when it was a systemic problem.
