MINISTER ATTACKS EX-PARKHURST GOVERNOR
Prisons minister Ann Widdecombe has hit
back at ex-Parkhurst governor John
Marriott, who has criticised government
handling of a breakout at the prison.
She said a report into last January's
breakout, which led to Mr Marriott's
dismissal, made it clear a series of
faults lay behind the escape.
She told BBC Radio 4 that Mr Marriott
could not escape blame for some of them
and it was clear that certain
procedures had not been followed.
"It is very much down to how a governor
runs a prison," she said. See 131/191
