Mark Barnsley Update

At 5.30am on Feb 1st framed anarchist prisoner Mark Barnsley was moved yet again (20th time in 6 years) a practice known as ghosting and intended to lower prisoners’ morale. This time he’s been put in HMP Wakefield, notorious for it’s strict regime. He’s in segregation after refusing to be housed on the sex offenders’ wing (he was fitted up for GBH). See prisoners for his address.
