Eighty prison officers absent from Wandsworth on day of Daniel Khalife’s escape

Eighty prison officers did not to turn up for their shifts at Wandsworth prison on the day Daniel Khalife escaped, leaving just 60% of posts filled, it has emerged.

The revelation came as the government announced that a former director general of the National Crime Agency has been appointed to investigate the incident.

The government insisted staffing was not a factor in Khalife’s breakout from HMP Wandsworth on 6 September, with Damian Hinds, a justice minister, saying it was above safe levels that day.

Hinds has now said 80 prison officers “did not attend their expected shift at the prison that day” while 125 were on duty, equating to 61% attendance.

"Hinds has now said 80 prison officers “did not attend their expected shift at the prison that day” while 125 were on duty, equating to 61% attendance."

Hmm...'61% attendance' ....public sector....sounds about right.
