How the f***

Read this and then have a think. "AN al-Qaeda fanatic jailed for inciting murder online was caught making a website urging terror attacks - from his cell in Britain's most secure prison. Tariq Al-Daour, 21, used a smuggled mobile phone and modem lead to access the Internet on a laptop issued by the Prison Service to help him prepare his court case."
This was a "fanatic" jailed for inciting murder online who was given a laptop to help him prepare his case and who used to access the Internet via a smuggled in mobile telephone. Is there any security in British prisons any more?


"A senior prison source said yesterday: "It is frightening that an al-Qaeda prisoner was able to build an extremist website within Britain's supposedly most secure jail."
"Most secure jail", I fear this may not be as impressive as it sounds.

"The fact he was inside for building terror websites means he should have been watched like a hawk."
You think? Not really like a hawk was it?

"A mobile phone should never have managed to end up in the High Security Unit in the first place."
It was a "High Security Unit" inside Britain's most "secure jail" and he still managed to get a mobile telephone with web access. Couldn't a mobile telephone suppressor have been used in the "High Security Unit"?

"Al-Daour's laptop was seized at the South London jail in May. He refused to hand it over, sparking a vicious riot in which four officers were battered with pool cues by Al-Daour and other al-Qaeda prisoners."
It is good to know that we are in control in these prisons. We can see that prisoners get given computers and can play pool as they wish. Not really a harsh punishment regime, is it?
