Axel Rudakubana, the Southport killer, is set for a grim life in prison, facing isolation and constant threats from other inmates.
SOUTHPORT: So, this guy Axel Rudakubana is in a world of trouble. He just got sentenced to at least 52 years in prison for some truly horrific crimes. He stabbed three young girls during a dance class, and now he’s facing a lifetime behind bars.
According to a prison officer, he’s going to be a major target in jail. They’re saying he’ll probably be kept in isolation to protect him from other inmates who might want to get to him. It’s a tough spot to be in, and he’s going to have to watch his back constantly.
Right now, he’s at Belmarsh Prison, which is known for being one of the toughest in the UK. They’re going to assess him to see if he stays there or gets moved to another high-security prison. Either way, it’s not going to be a walk in the park for him.
Even though he’ll be in isolation, he’ll still have some rights, like showers and phone calls. But let’s be real, his life is going to be pretty miserable. He’s going to be on suicide watch too, with guards keeping a close eye on him to make sure he doesn’t harm himself.
Rudakubana admitted to multiple counts of murder and attempted murder, and the judge made it clear that he’s not likely to ever get out. By the time he’s eligible to apply for release, he’ll be 70 years old, and it’s hard to imagine they’d let him go.
In the end, he’s looking at a long, hard road ahead. The prison life isn’t easy, and with the kind of crimes he committed, he’s going to be facing a lot of hostility from other inmates. It’s a grim situation for sure.
