Inside 'Monster Mansion' HMP Wakefield where disgraced Lostprophets singer was stabbed
The ironically named Love Lane in Wakefield is also the address of 'Monster Mansion' - the Category A prison HMP Wakefield, which holds some 600 of Britain’s most dangerous criminals.
The notorious jail also contains an underground glass box where murderer Robert Maudsley, chillingly dubbed 'Hannibal the Cannibal', has spent over 16,500 consecutive days in isolation. Channel 5 documentary HMP Wakefield: Evil Behind Bars revealed that sex offenders are regarded as the “lowest form of life” in the prison with one contributor to the programme referring to the inmates as the "dregs of society".
Jeremy Bamber is serving life with no chance of parole after he was convicted of the White House farm murders - a desperate attempt to steal a large inheritance and blame his schizophrenic 28-year-old sister. He killed his adoptive parents, sister, and nephews in the 1985 massacre. Meanwhile British doctor Shipman is thought to be one of the most prolific serial killers of all time. Before his suicide, the man dubbed ‘Dr Death’ had been convicted of murdering 15 patients but was thought to have killed far more.
Ian Huntley, whose crimes shocked the nation when he was found guilty of murdering 10-year-old school girls, Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman in 2003, also spent time at HMP Wakefield.
