Prisoners get sour porridge

INMATES at one of Britain’s toughest jails are furious after their sugar rations were cut.

The maximum security HMP Full Sutton near York, which holds some of the country’s most dangerous criminals, reduced the daily allowance from eight teaspoons to fewer than three.

Prison chiefs previously handed over 1kg of sugar per inmate each month. But the authorities decided that prisoners should go on a health drive and now 1kg is given out every three months.

A prison source said ‘this will be devastating news’ for inmates.

Prisoners at the jail include White House Farm murderer Jeremy Bamber and John Cannan, the only suspect in Suzy Lamplugh’s 1986 disappearance.
