Watch shock moment young offenders wield huge zombie knives BEHIND bars sparking urgent probe

DISTURBING video shows young offenders wielding huge blades behind bars. The two inmates are seen unsheathing the zombie knives before threateningly swinging them around. Other lags can be heard jeering as the one filming on an illegally smuggled phone shouts: “My f sons, you know.”.
The nine-second clip, filmed last year in the exercise yard of Feltham Young Offender Institution in West London, was shared on Snapchat last week. Bosses are investigating after being alerted by The Sun. Both people are believed to have since been released, with one recently uploading footage of himself inhaling nitrous oxide.
Patrick Green, from knife crime prevention charity The Ben Kinsella Trust, said last night: “These images are a disgrace. “They vividly portray the lawlessness that surrounds knife crime in the places where their access to everything is supposedly severely restricted and monitored.
“We’ve reached a truly appalling point in our society where jails have become knife crime hotspots. “It’s clear current laws are being ridiculed. Urgent questions must be addressed regarding how these weapons are smuggled in and why these dangerous criminals are being released back on our streets.”.
A source added: “The size of these zombie knives is truly terrifying. It looks like it’s being filmed from inside the building down into the exercise yard. No guards are in sight, which is worrying.”. This year has already seen the fatal stabbings of Kelyan Bokassa, 14, on a bus in Woolwich, South East London, and Thomas Taylor, 17, at Bedford bus station.
