A gangster jailed after being caught with a submachine gun has complained prison is a “horrible” hotbed of “bullying and violence’”.
Spencer Inglis, 24, was sent to HMP Belmarsh, South East London in February after he got seven-and-a-half years for his part in a gun-running gang.
Inglis has said he "hated" life in the high-security jail, which houses just over 900 "hardened prisoners".
Inglis has said he "hated" life in the high-security jail, which houses just over 900 "hardened prisoners".
In lags’ mag Inside Time, he moaned about sharing a cell with two other prisoners.
He said: “Is this some sort of joke? In this cell are 3 men, 2 cupboards, 2 tables and 1 chair! We should not be treated like this.
"Who gets to sit on the chair? Who gets space in the cupboard? Who gets to write or eat at the 1 available table (as the other one contains our tiny TV and 2 cup kettle).
"Despite having broken the law we should not be treated like this by the government and prison system.
"And I won't mention the bullying and violence that I have witnessed due to this severe overcrowding. Something needs to be done."
During the 24-year-old's trial at the Old Bailey, the jury heard how Inglis took delivery of the deadly gun at his home in Mitcham, south London in April last year.
The court heard how Inglis was part of a gang led by 23-year-old Alexander Mullings, who organised the delivery of eight submachine guns from Germany to the UK from his prison cell, using an unwitting Parcelforce to deliver the guns.
Mullings, who was in jail for as string of robberies, used a smuggled-in mobile phone to organised the shipment of the guns from his cell at HMP Wandsworth - including one to gang member Inglis.
Mullings was jailed for life after being found guilty of conspiracy to possess firearms with intent to endanger life along with his girlfriend Emily Ciantar, 20, was jailed for 12 years and fours months for the same charges.
The court heard how Mullings, Ciantar and Inglis were "gangsters" involved in seedy underworld drug and arms deals.
