2015-06-23 UK: Magna Carta and protecting Liberty - total denial of public access to prisoners' booking records
======================================
Are the people of the UK asleep? Your gov is most likely keeping secret prisoners... You got to stand up for your rights!
In a visit to Wormwood Scrubs prison near London attempt was made yesterday to access the prisoners' booking records. Absent public access to prisoners' booking records, there is no way to safeguard the fundamentals of the Magna Carta - that government cannot deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law!
RESULTS:
1) ALL VISITORS FORCED TO ENTER BIOMETRIC DATABASE
We arrived during visiting hours. And the first surprise was that all visitors, family members of prisoners, etc, are forced to enter a biometric database before entering the prison. There is on location a machine for taking digital fingerprints and facial photos for the database. Obviously, family members and visitors are not suspects in any crime. So why this universal database entry of visitors?
2) NO ACCESS AT ALL TO PRISONERS' BOOKING DATA.
Any access to booking records was flatly denied at the prison's office. In case you want to know if someone is in prison in the UK, and where, you need to call a phone number (legal information by phone only is naturally suspect), and they may decide to provide the information, based on their criteria: PRISONER LOCATOR: 01216262773

Strangely:
a) One can find online booking records of Wormwood Scrubs prison from some 100 years ago.
b) One can find online the report of "Surprise Inspection of HM Wormwoom Scrubs Prison", where security detail records were inspected, where medical records were inspected, but I could not find a word regarding inspecting the records to ensure that all prisoners are lawfully held in confinement.
