I have also attempted to campaign about the system with regards to the privileges of
the most dangerous criminals incarcerated in prisons and special hospitals in the UK.
Currently, prisoners and patients who have committed violent crimes against women:
rapists, murderers, serial killers and paedophiles are given access to “As many female
friends as they wish” as per Broadmoor Top Security Hospital in the UK. Naturally, this is
an alarming fact because it gives these extremely dangerous prisoners and patients to
coerce, manipulate and control in many cases their female pen-pals and then act out
their violence by rejecting them after taking them into their confidence and often even
ask the pen-pals to marry them! Many female pen-pals - who write to dangerous
criminals - have been subject to a background of child sexual abuse, rape, emotional
abuse, domestic violence and mental cruelty in adult relationships, they are lambs to
the slaughter because the system does NOT protect them at all! This vulnerable
category of women are easily manipulated, as they are usually desperate for love and
the criminals have a lot of time on their hands, therefore pay a lot of attention to the
pen-pals, often resulting in the pen-pal feeling “loved” but this is NOT love and
couldn’t be further than the truth. In reality, there are postal monitors reading all
incoming and outgoing mail between inmates and their pen-pals, and this mail is very
rarely intercepted and the criminals lie all the time and the system allows them to. My
argument is: it doesn’t take Einstein - and it isn’t rocket science - to know that this is a
fundamental flaw in a system geared-up for the pleasure and aggression of a prisoner
or patient and the system is not protecting vulnerable women. Instead the criminals
continue to be abusive with their pens instead of any weapon they used in the outside
world to coerce or harm their victims.
