A prison governor remains in hospital nearly three weeks after suffering a fractured skull in a violent assault by an inmate at HMP Ranby in Nottinghamshire, highlighting growing concerns over violence in Britain's overcrowded prisons.
The attack occurred on May 16 during a celebratory event held on one of the prison's wings. The incident is considered highly unusual, as it is rare for a governor to be targeted so severely. The governor's injuries were so serious that he has yet to be discharged from hospital.
