  1. What makes this notable is not simply that a prisoner was assaulted, but that the prisoner involved is tied to one of Australia’s most publicly traumatic child murder cases. The event therefore functions as both a prison-security story and a reactivation of collective memory around the original crime.

  2. Incarcerated Welsh rock singer Ian Watkins of #Lostprophets killed in another UK prison attack behind bars, in 2023 he'd been stabbed and held hostage by inmates. Two inmates have been arrested for the fatal stabbing this month.

    He was 48 and had spent over a decade in prison thus far after a 2013 drug bust found pedophiliac materials on his electronic devices, and after police investigation, he admitted to a string of sex offences – including the attempted rape of a fan’s baby.

    His former nu metal band signed by #SonyMusic still generates over 280,000 listeners a month on #Spotify, and at its peak appeared on video games, movie soundtracks like Spiderman 2, and toured top concert halls and had festival spots including the #ReadingFestival.

    The group disbanded after his arrest, while the lead singer began serving a 29 year #prison sentence for his admitted sex offences.

  4. CW: USpol, immigration detention

    "He’d been a youth soccer coach in Venezuela before setting off for the U.S. He followed the rules and got an appointment to approach the U.S.-Mexico border last October, as had more than 50 of the men. At the appointment, Colmenares said an agent pulled him aside to take pictures of his many tattoos — then detained him. He never set foot in the U.S. as a free man."
