A remand prisoner recovering in hospital after surgery to remove one of his legs lies handcuffed to his bed, his lawyer claimed yesterday.
Carl Shepherd, 35, from Northern Moor, Manchester, suffered head and leg injuries when arrested for burglary and was transferred from Manchester prison to hospital, where his left leg was amputated below the knee to prevent the spread of septicaemia.
"When you look at the state of him, it's disgraceful. He is not going anywhere. He has two prison officers next to him. He has lost a leg. He is in shock. He is in poor health. He is two or three floors up. He is expected to be in hospital for another two months from what I've been told."
