HMP Wakefield – dubbed ‘Monster Mansion’ – is home to some of the Britain’s most depraved criminals from terrorists, murderers, rapists and ‘Hannibal the Cannibal’ who is caged in an underground glass box
Category A prison HMP Wakefield holds the chilling title of ‘Monster Mansion’ for holding around 600 of Britain’s most dangerous criminals.
On Saturday it was reported that three unnamed inmates held paedophile and disgraced Lost Prophets frontman Ian Watkins hostage for six hours where he was beaten and stabbed in the neck in a ‘targeted and prolonged’ attack.
Officers had to wait for an armed ‘Tornado’ team of specially trained riot officers to break up the situation with grenades being hurled into the cell to free Watkins.
The former frontman, 46, has been locked up at the Yorkshire prison since 2013 when he was jailed for 35 years for 13 offences against children, including the attempted rape of an 11 month old baby.
