Ford’s most-wanted are revealed by police

Three of the men were jailed for murder and the others were jailed for violence or robbery. It follows revelations last week by the police who said that almost 90 prisoners who absconded from Ford were still at large Superintendent Lawrence Hobbs said: “We have assessed the cases of each and every prisoner who is currently wanted after absconding from Ford Prison and decided these men need our attention the most, considering how likely they could be to commit more crimes. “We have no evidence that any of these men are a danger to the public but because of the offences they have previously committed we cannot rule it out. “We need the public’s help to track each and every one of them down and return them to custody. “Some of the men may have absconded a number of years ago and may not have broken the law since then but justice has not been done in any of their cases as they still need to complete the sentences they were originally given. “If you have any information at all about where they could be, please contact us.” The Ministry of Justice determines which prisoners should be sent to Ford – a category D open jail.
