Prison authorities are taking significant measures to ensure that the cruel duo responsible for the abuse of young Preston Davey are kept apart for the duration of their prison terms, as reported by sources within the correctional system.
John McGowan-Fazakerley, 32, is likely to be housed in HMP Manchester, famously known as Strangeways, which has previously held some of the UK’s most infamous criminals such as Harold Shipman, Dale Cregan, Ian Brady, and Charles Bronson. McGowan-Fazakerley received a 25-year sentence for charges including child neglect, child abuse, and sexual misconduct. His accomplice Jamie Varley, 37, who falsely claimed that Preston had drowned accidentally, was given a life sentence for murder, child abuse, sexual offenses, and possessing indecent images.
Upon entering ‘Monster Mansion,’ Varley reportedly spent his first night sobbing and trembling in fear in his cell, as fellow inmates threatened him for the harm he caused Preston. Enraged prisoners reportedly gave Varley a hostile welcome at HMP Wakefield, where he was promptly transferred after his court sentencing. It was stated that Varley’s presence was anticipated by other inmates who aimed to intimidate and torment him due to the despicable acts committed against Preston.
Insiders have disclosed that McGowan-Fazakerley is being relocated to another high-security prison in the UK and is rumored to have a target on his back from fellow inmates. Despite the attention on Varley for Preston’s murder, there are concerns about McGowan-Fazakerley’s actions towards the child, leading to threats against him as well.
Similar to Varley, McGowan-Fazakerley is believed to be segregated, resulting in long periods spent alone in his cell under constant supervision for his safety. It is expected that he will continue to be closely monitored by guards and accompanied whenever he leaves his cell, as there are fears of potential attacks on him by other prisoners.
HMP Strangeways can accommodate up to 744 adult male inmates and is renowned for its notoriety and danger. Recent inspections raised alarms about prevalent drug use, escalating violence, and high levels of self-harm and deaths within the prison.
Overall, the situation for both Varley and McGowan-Fazakerley appears bleak as they navigate their sentences in separate high-security facilities, facing ongoing threats and isolation from their fellow inmates.
