🔪 Disturbing Incident at HMP Parc: Another Stabbing at Troubled Jail!
Police are on high alert following an alleged stabbing at Parc Prison in Bridgend. Reports indicate that a prison officer sustained minor injuries after being attacked by an inmate armed with an improvised weapon. This incident raises concerns as it’s the second reported stabbing in just over a month at the facility.
According to insiders, the altercation occurred when the inmate, reportedly frustrated after days on a “red regime” due to staff shortages, lashed out. However, G4S, the security firm managing the prison, denies any prolonged restrictive regime was in place at the time.
Adding to the urgency, South Wales Police confirmed they’ve launched an investigation into the assault on the prison officer. G4S spokesperson reassured the public that the situation was contained swiftly with only one casualty, the officer, who thankfully sustained only minor injuries.
This isn’t Parc’s first troubling headline. Just last month, a prisoner was allegedly stabbed by another inmate using a sharp object made from a tin can. Concerned family members claim their loved one was attacked by someone reportedly under the influence of spice—a potent cannabinoid.
Adding to the controversy, a damning April report criticised Parc for failing to tackle a significant drug problem, underlining it as the site of multiple inmate deaths—17 of which happened last year alone.
G4S insists changes are afoot, saying steps have been taken towards improvement, aiming to enhance safety and welfare for prisoners and staff alike. But the question remains: Are these measures enough to restore faith in the facility’s management?
