Police officers increasingly fear being beheaded by Islamist terrorist in some of Britain’s most violent jails.
Concerns have skyrocketed after three prison officers were brutally attacked at HMP Frankland in County Durham last week.
The officers sustained life-threatening injuries from the attack launched by Manchester Arena bomber Hashem Abedi – who has been jailed for life.
Among the prison’s regular inmates, the jail houses some of Britain’s most extreme terrorists.

The convicts are permitted access to a kitchen where Abedi sourced oil and was able to craft two blades out of a baking tray.
Ex-prison officer Neil Samworth said that the management method was “madness”.
“The fact that Abedi had access to all the kitchen facilities is hard to comprehend, but typical of the way prisons are run today,” he told the Daily Mail.
“The staff are not safe on these wings.”
