EXCLUSIVE: RAPIST DEMANDS PAYOUT OVER 'BORING' JAIL

By Gordon Mcilwraith



A PAEDOPHILE and triple rapist is demanding £15,000 compensation for being bored in jail and having to slop out.

Gavin Davidson says slopping out is 'disgusting'. At most, his three young victims can expect £15,000 between them in compensation for the horrific abuse he put them through.

Davidson, 44, is one of seven prisoners who have joined forces to sue the Executive. Taxpayers will foot the bill for their case.

The inmates want a total of £87,000 for 'loss of self-esteem, stress, depression, disgust, embarrassment, humiliation and mental anguish'.

Scores more cons are expected to follow them into court.

Tory justice spokeswoman Annabel Goldie condemned the case. She said: 'This is a deplorable state of affairs.

'The public will have no sympathy for those who have created so much suffering. We must never lose sight of the misery that victims have to go through.'

It did not take Davidson long to kick up a stink about slopping out. Hehas served only four months of his 10-year sentence.

Two other child molesters are among the seven inmates at Saughton jail in Edinburgh who have been granted Legal Aid to fight their cases.

Paul Nicol, 39, got five years in May for filming himself abusing a 12-year-old girl in the bath. He wants £7000 compensation for his living conditions in the prison.

Fellow pervert Thomas Connor, 77, was convicted of preying on two young girls over aseven--year period.He believes he deserves £18,000 compensation for slopping out.

The other prisoners involved are Nigel McKenzie, 36 (claiming £12,000), Graeme Turnbull, 40, (£12,000),Angus McPherson, 28, (£18,000) and Walter Allan, 44, (£5000).

All claim their health has suffered because their shared cells don't have proper toilets and they have to empty their potties in the morning.

They also complain about their 'monotonous existence' in Saughton, where they are locked in their cells for long periods.

The case is the first major attempt to exploit the £2450 damages award won by armed robber Robert Napier in May.

He claimed his human rights were being breached because he had to slop out at Glasgow's Barlinnie jail.

Davidson and the others were not at the Court of Session yesterday as Lord Carloway heard legal arguments in their cases.

Lice They want the judge to rule that they can't be forced to slop out until a full hearing of their claims has been held.

The prisoners say slopping out is unhygienic and puts them at extra risk from infection.

Turnbull claims his asthma has worsened because of the conditions in Saughton. The others complain of ailments including acne, lice and conjunctivitis.

The seven are all demanding to be moved to cells with toilets.They also argue that the jail doesn't offer enough work, recreation and education for prisoners.

Mungo Bovey, QC, representing the seven, told the judge: 'Given the hardships imposed on these individuals, it is encumbent on ministers to secure that this state of conditions doesn't continue.

'These problems have been well known for a decade in terms of their unacceptability by international standards.

'There is nothing that could justify these conditions in a modern society.'

Around 1200 male prisoners still haveto slop out in Scots jails. Parts of Edinburgh,Perth, Polmont and Barlinnie and the whole of Peterhead jail are affected.

The Scottish Prison Service says it is getting rid of the practice. But the Executive have been criticised for moving too slowly.

SNP justice spokeswoman Nicola Sturgeon said: 'These new cases were inevitable.

'The Executive were told to end slopping out but they have not acted quickly enough.

'We are now faced with a situation were more and more convicted criminals could be in line for compensation payments at the taxpayer's expense.

'This has turned into a total farce. The people entrusted with running our justice system look grossly incompetent, and faith in that system is totally undermined as a result.'

Goldie added:'The flood of cases over slopping out were to be expected.

'But they were entirely avoidable if the Scottish government had got its act together and not cancelled the programme to end the practice.'

She added: 'Prisoners suing because their life in prison is boring is ridiculous.

'The public will have no sympathy. 'These men are in prison for agood reason. It is not supposed to be a picnic or a holiday camp

Hold on there a minute.



Isn't the idea that prisoners lose certain rights as punishment - and isn't degrading, menial tasks part of that?

Are these people suggesting that their shit should be cleaned out by some honest, hard working Janitor (who doesn't rape kids)?

These people are removed from society and so they don't deserve access to society's resources.

I'm in debt upto my nads, are they suggesting if I rape a few kids , my punishment could earn me enough to get me back on top of my finances? Shocked now that is sick.

I wish we had a word equivalent to the U.S. "Dirty Liberals" slur, so I could use it here. White laugh
