Axel Rudakubana named 'No1 target' at Belmarsh prison

Axel Rudakubana, an 18-year-old convicted of murdering three young girls, has begun serving a 52-year sentence at HMP Belmarsh, one of the UK's most notorious prisons. Due to the nature of his crimes, he is expected to be the 'No. 1 target' among inmates, facing potential attacks for the rest of his life. Reports indicate that Rudakubana will be kept in isolation, wearing a paper jumpsuit to prevent self-harm, and will have limited contact with others, spending 23 hours a day in his cell. Former inmates describe the prison environment as volatile, suggesting that attacks could be motivated by a desire for notoriety among fellow prisoners. The prison staff is aware of the risks associated with his presence and will take precautions to minimize contact with other inmates. Rudakubana's heinous actions at a dance class last July have drawn national outrage, further complicating his situation behind bars.
