8:53Now PlayingA manhunt for Hadush Kebatu was launched after he was accidentally released from HMP Chelmsford.
Kebatu was jailed for 12 months in September for the sexual assault of a 14-year-old girl, while staying at the Bell Hotel in Epping just days after arriving in the UK on a small boat. It sparked a nationwide wave of anti-migration protests that went on throughout the summer.
Former prison officers Sarah (0:00) and Jim (5:07) phone James O'Brien to discuss where they believe staff went wrong, and the a decline in training standards for those working in jails. James also considers the impact of government cuts and the tenure of Conservative Chris Grayling as Justice Secretary.
