393 INMATES "WALK OUT" OF ONE OPEN PRISON IN 7 YEARS
Leyhill prison in the UK must be on every convicted criminal's "Preferred Prison" list.
Since 1999, about one inmate a week has walked out of the open prison, that has no perimeter walls.
This might not be so bad if they were among the 30,000 inmates in our prisons serving sentences of under 12 months, presumably for lesser crimes than rape or murder.
But 22 murderers and seven rapists have left Leyhill without a guard dog barking or an alarm being raised.
300 of the 393 have left in the past three years.
While the Home Office claimed 75% of them had been subsequently caught, they did not say which 75%.
