England loves #legalFictions.

The last legal #execution in #England was in 1964. #CapitalPunishment for murder was abolished in 1969.

But killings of convicted people continue at ~ 4/year. No hangman, just other prisoners.

The recipe is simple. Concentrate vulnerable or despised prisoners in underfunded and under-supervised small spaces with no privacy and no hope. Heat and stir, to watch 300 deaths per year.

#IanHuntley is just the latest, killed far more brutally than by #execution.
