Ian Huntley is the former school caretaker convicted of the murders of ten-year-old Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman in Soham, Cambridgeshire, in 2002. The case shook the UK to its core, turning a sleepy village into a national crime scene. He was sentenced to life in prison with a whole-life order, meaning he will never be released.
So, where does a man like that spend his days? He is currently housed in HM Prison Frankland, a high-security facility in County Durham. It’s the same prison that holds some of Britain’s most infamous inmates, including the Yorkshire Ripper, Peter Sutcliffe, and the neo-Nazi murderer David Copeland.
Think of it as the VIP section of villainy, minus the champagne and plus a lot of concrete. Frankland is designed to handle prisoners who are considered a high risk to the public—and to themselves.
