Current inmates?[edit]

This and several other maximum-security prison pages include a list of notorious criminals (mainly murderers) under "current inmates". Such prisoners are regularly moved around the cat A estate- Ian Huntley has been in at least 4 jails for example just from news stories about him- and as far as I know, moves between prisons are not normally made public. Unless someone who edits this page works at Wakefield or has connections inside the Prison Service, how do we know who the current inmates are? The links are often to newspaper reports several years ago.

This came to mind when I saw David Bieber was listed. He was originally sent to Whitemoor, then Woodhill Close Supervision Centre, then Wakefield and according to today's papers he is at Frankland in their 12 cell underground DSPD as an Exceptional Risk inmate (which he is challenging.) Therefore he does not fit under current inmates and as I explained above I'm not sure if any of the others do. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.41.232.70 (talk) 22:26, 7 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in HM Prison Wakefield[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of HM Prison Wakefield's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 13:20, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
