“PRISON FILES ARE SOLD IN CHARITY SHOP”

Sunday September 14,2008
By Ted Jeory and David Jarvis

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “A BUNGLING prison official left a secret file from Belmarsh high security prison in a charity shop.

The plastic folder containing the home addresses, telephone numbers and pager numbers of senior prison officials was sold to a customer who later handed the file to the Sunday Express.

The file lists the 16 members of Belmarsh Internal Monitoring Board, the body that oversees jail conditions and the welfare of inmates.

Board chairman David Pinchin’s details are included as are the addresses and mobile phone numbers of four magistrates who also sit on the board.

The list even pinpoints the distance each member’s home is from the prison.”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Earlier this month a computer drive containing 5,000 personnel files, including those of prison officers, was lost by a company working on the national identity card scheme.

Last month the ministry lost a memory stick containing the details of all the 84,000 prisoners in England and Wales.

The Home Office has admitted losing 43 laptop computers and 94 mobile phones over the past three years.”
