Richard Huckle, from Ashford, Kent, abused as many as 200 children.

In 2016, he was given 22 life sentences after admitting 71 charges of sex abuse of children aged between six months and 12 years, between 2006 and 2014.

It is understood he was attacked in his cell at Full Sutton Prison, near York, with what was described as a makeshift knife.

Cue some lefty spouting that it's terrible that such a thing should happen and it's all the fault of funding cuts to the prison service.

Yea, that'll be me, only I'm on the Right.

He should be safe in prison.

I want those kind of people to have a long a life as possible.

I respect your viewpoint. I'm happy we as taxpayers no longer have to subsidise that life though. I don't wish it would happen to them in there, but I also don't think it's much of a tragedy when it does.

He was a terrible human being.

I cant rejoice knowing his parents are probably distraught. The same parents who handed him over to the police when they knew what hed done.

Prison should be safe. It shouldn't be possible to stab someone to death.

These threads always bring out the Poundland Charlie Bronsons and resident Walts.

It's not him being safe in prison which concerned me....more the fact that he would have been inflicted on the rest of the world again once he was released.

People like this should rot in jail - not have a minimum 25 year sentence giving them a glimmer of hope.

This. A lot of them seem to have an unhealthy obsession with buggery occurring as well though, quite odd.

Absolutely. Prisons should be safe and sanitary places whereby prisoners can serve their sentence without fear of harm or mistreatment.

The deprivation of liberty is the punishment and should remain the only punishment for those convicted of a crime serious enough to warranty a custodial sentence.

A duty of care failure by the prison service, fairly shocking.

Although, to be fair, prisons are violent places, full of violent men with a penchant for, erm, violence.

People should remember that if it can happen to this individual, it can also happen to people on remand or victims of miscarriages of justice. It can also happen to people that we would rather remain alive such as Mr Epstein. That's very convenient in some cases.

I've got no problem with draconian sentencing and harsh prison regimes but celebrating murders in prison is a very slippery slope.

I am sure many on here would not be saying the same thing if he had raped their child.

The children he has abused have life sentences. Many will never recover from what this beast did to them.

Rot in hell.

The problem is that he won't. He was rotting, in a prison. Now his punishment has ended.

I've never thought of myself as vindictive, but in his case I'll make an exception. He needed more years of pain. I remember a rapist who killed himself on remand. One of his victims was distraught. She wanted her day in court. She wanted him punished.

Probably not - but then being highly emotional about something and logical isn’t easy.

As a thought exercise, I agree.

What if I said the money saved on his not-now-needed incarceration (say £1m as a conservative guess) was to be given to social services and the police to fund protecting children against this kind of person.

Still better to pay to keep him alive?

(I'm not taking a side, but think it's an interesting question. Do we have better things to spend our money on than jailing monsters?)
