INMATES GET A 3D PRINTER
As long as they promise not to make any keys
A PRISON has allowed convicts the use of a 3D printer – which could make pistols and keys for those with the know-how.
Cons were ordered not to create anything to help them escape when they got the hi-tech device worth thousands as part of an educational scheme.
Bosses were told the printer is vital for a graphic arts course at category C Wayland jail.
But a source said: “You couldn’t make it up.
“These devices have been used to make weapons and all sorts. The governors will need to keep a very close eye on it.”
An insider said: “My worry is the printer will be used to make keys and we’ll have an escape on our hands.”
Three-d printers have been used by criminals before. Student Tendai Muswere, 26, was jailed last year for using a similar gizmo to make a gun.
He claimed the weapon was for a film prop, but Southwark crown court in London heard it could fire a lethal shot.
The printers have also been used to make copies of house keys since 2011.
And they have been put to good use by drug smugglers. A gang in Holland
One of his chickens is named after Good Morning Britain Host Piers Morgan. Jake brought it back from the brink of death by warming it with a hairdryer shaped like the face of Piers. So he decided to dedicate the animal to the presenter.
Jake’s love of peace and quiet is unlikely to rub off on Max. The tough guy soap character has slept with his son’s wife, brawled with his brother and ended up in prison on suspicion of murder. He should try cracking
eggs not heads.
