Shocking secrets of UK’s most violent prison where evil lags slice ears off, cause ‘unstitchable’ wounds & MURDER rivals

BRAZENLY unsheathing two large machetes with a serrated edge, two young men point deadly weapons at their target, who cowers behind a window. But this terrifying moment isn't a scene of violence erupting on the streets - it was INSIDE the infamous Felton Prison, the deadliest lock-up in England and Wales.

Shockingly, the footage showing two zombie knife-wielding lags, shot inside the West London Category C prison, is nothing compared to the terror that unfolds at its adjoining Young Offenders Institute (YOI). That lock-up, which houses 15 to 18 years old, has a fearsome reputation and in the year up to March 2024, there were 343 weapons found and 410 violent incidents - making it six times worse than most violent adult prison, HMP Bradford.

This latest footage is no shock to Lennox Rodgers, founder of the Refocus Project, who has visited Feltham prison and the YOI multiple times to help rehabilitate former county lines gang members. He tells The Sun: “It’s really sad to see, Feltham is in a state of lawlessness. Violence is so bad and it doesn’t seem like enough is being done and prison officers are powerless to cope with it all.

“If you can get zombie knives and machete-type weapons into a prison, it shows the state of affairs. You’ve practically lost control and the violence has to be off the scale. “With a zombie knife, they want to kill, not hurt and anybody who gets in their way will die. One stab from a zombie knife and you’ve got a one per cent chance of survival.
