Drug taking & beatings filmed while WHAT A CHEEK Lag taunts prison bosses by… Filming himself injecting drug Boasting about mobile stash Gorging on takeaway in cell
Con subjected to sickening attack in video nasty
A PRISONER has brazenly filmed himself injecting steroids in jail.
Heroin dealer Wade Cox used an illegally-held phone to post the footage online from his cell.
The thug also mocked authorities at HMP Risley, in Warrington, Cheshire, by:
Eating a meal from a fastfood chain
Flaunting a stash of mobile phones
Boasting about his easy life behind bars
The 26-year-old filmed himself sticking a syringe containing the muscle builder Infiniti into his backside.
He also showed off a bag of multi-coloured pills believed to be used for the same purpose. The video and photos were then posted on Snapchat.
The smack peddler shared a snap of himself cuddling a tattooed cellmate and eating a McDonalds breakfast muffin, with the caption “Hahahahahahaha”.
Cox, who was jailed for three years in January, also shared snaps of himself posing with two tiny Zanco phones, A LAG is beaten to a pulp in a brutal prison attack filmed on an illegal phone and posted online.
The con cowers on his bed and shrieks in agony as a hulking inmate batters him about the head.
Begging for mercy and with his hands over his face, the terrified victim pleads for the tattooed thug to stop but is told: “Stop crying. Get up.” The man then lays into him again with a flurry of savage digs while wearing cage fighting-style gloves.
Another yob filming the appalling assault orders the JIMMY McCLOSKEY Crime Editor claimed to be the ‘ world’s smallest, thinnest mobile’, two iPhones and a Samsung device, despite prison rules banning mobiles. And he attempted to flag up the seemingly cushy prison conditions, writing: “Jail around here? Jail round here somewhere.” The snaps – exclusively obtained by the Daily Star Sunday – also show his cell filled with an array of shower gels and toiletries and a widescreen TV. The brazen lag’s contraband boasts came just seven months after this newspaper exposed his illicit FaceTime calls from his cell at HMP Frankland, Co Durham. Prison officials have now put Cox in segregation and removed his privileges after we contacted them to reveal what he was up to. Cox sparked fury earlier this year after we exclusively revealed how he had a ‘tribute tattoo’ to one-eyed cop killer Dale Cregan, 33. The inking is a reference to Cregan’s 2012 grenade attack which killed police officers Nicola Hughes, 23, and Fiona PATRICK WILLIAMS attacker to “give him some rude shots” before the masked man stamps on the victim’s head and asks: “Shall I break his leg?” The shocking footage, obtained by the Daily Star Sunday, was recorded on a smuggled phone at HMP Lindholme in Doncaster, South Yorks.
Sources believe the lad was attacked last month over a drug deal.
The victim’s mum, who asked not to be named, Bone, 32. Cox has regularly flashed his tattoo on social media, even boasting in one selfie: “Got the grenade out for the boys. DC. AW.”
It includes the initials of Cregan and his henchman Anthony Wilkinson, 34, with the slogan “Friends Have the Same Enemies”.
It’s not the first time Risley has been involved in such an incident.
In May burglar Lewis Spink, 25, filmed himself smoking what appeared to be a joint with two bags of drugs in the background.
Last night a Prison Service spokesman said of the latest pictures: “This is completely unacceptable.
“This offender has been placed in segregation, has been stripped of his privileges and will be moved to a more secure prison as a result of this.”
A Ministry of Justice source revealed there has been a crackdown on phones in prisons.
Planned measures include removing privileges, using high-tech equipment to block signals and ordering mobile phone providers to disconnect lags’ devices.
It is a criminal offence to bring a mobile phone into prison or to transmit sounds or images from within a prison using a mobile.
The offences carry a maximum penalty of two years in jail.
Our source said: “We plan to challenge mobile network operators to do more, including new technological solutions, so we can block mobile phones.” posted the video online to highlight violent bullying in Britain’s jails.
She said: “My son was savagely assaulted and an inmate was allowed to film the attack on a mobile phone. “This is the footage that was posted on the internet for some twisted form of entertainment.”
An insider said the attack was over the recently banned cannabis substitute Spice. And he revealed how beatings were regularly dished out to those who did not pay on time. The source added: “Just because Spice is now illegal doesn’t mean it’s not continuing to grip every jail in the country. “It’s the single biggest problem in our jails.” Lindholme has been plagued by tales of violence and drug offences. More than a kilo of Spice and other former ‘legal highs’ were seized there in a month along with dozens of mobile phones.
Inspectors also revealed they were told ‘horrific’ stories concerning the effects of new psychoactive substances (NPS). The disclosures were in a report by the prisons watchdog on the category C jail which holds just over 1,000 inmates.
It said: “Covert operations led to the capture of contraband, which in a month included over a kilo of NPS, 67 phones, heroin, cocaine and other drugs.”
