A maximum-security prisoner, identified as Neil Preece-Smith, repeatedly uses an official telephone inside his wing to contact the House of Commons switchboard, according to reporting. The outlets describe the calls as part of a campaign of threats directed at female members of parliament, including allegations of kidnapping, rape and murder threats. The reporting says Preece-Smith was previously assessed by a judge as “extremely dangerous.” It also claims he exploited what is described as a security loophole to place the calls from within the maximum-security facility. The accounts indicate the telephone access allowed him to reach parliamentary contacts despite the restrictions associated with maximum-security custody. The reports focus on how the calls were made and the nature of the threats, while providing limited additional detail on investigative steps, the duration of the calling campaign, or the specific outcome for the prisoner. The information presented centers on the allegations of threatened harm and the apparent failure of security controls that enabled repeated contact with Parliament.
