Boris Becker prison inmates are shocked by their privileged treatment

Last April, historian Boris Becker was found guilty of concealing assets and illegal transfer of large sums of money, and ever since is serving a two-and-a-half-year sentence in Huntercombe Prison, located in southwest London. Now a new controversy opens, which has to do with alleged privileges granted to him in prison.

While the former German tennis player continues to count the days to regain his freedom, the great new controversy surrounding Boris has to do with the story of Chris Atkins, director and ex-convict who has been able to integrate the same unit in which he lives. native today of Leimen. In dialogue with The Sun, Atkins noted: “He has more opportunities to get out of his cell to work and educate himself”.

The information that emerged ranks Becker as English teacher of some of his companions. Likewise, the former tennis player would be responsible for the sports science lessons, something that generated anger among the inmates. Regarding the position obtained by Boris, a source stated: “It would normally take years to get a job as a class assistant.“.

And this same source, who also spoke to The Sun, added: “It’s considered a privilege. But Becker got the job a few weeks after he was sentenced … There is a lot of resentment. Boris Becker doesn’t exactly have the luxury life he was used to in prison, but he lives it better than most inmates. “

Another of the prisoners’ complaints against Boris Becker took place during the last edition of Wimbledon. According to reports, the German could have followed the entire Grand Slam from inside Huntercombe prisonsomething that, if real, would clearly have to do with special treatment for the three-time Grand Slam champion who, days ago, was left in the hands of Novak Djokovic.

But with this last episode the protests of the detainees went further, to the point that several relatives of the detainees sent letters to the prison management, complaining about the privileges that the former tennis player receives.

If one thing is clear, it is that this is not Becker’s first controversy since his arrival in prison, as some time ago and after a few weeks in Wandsworth prison, finally It was moved to where it is today.. Thus, the 57-year-old former athlete is once again in the spotlight, and it seems difficult for him to deliver his sentence with a low profile.

Becker and his departure from Wandsworth

As for Boris Becker and his departure from Wandsworth Prison, sources say it has to do with the state of utter disrepair the prison is in. Indeed, Chris Atkins himself observed: “In a recent inspection, the institute was described as “crumbling, overcrowded and infested with mice and insects”“.

Also, Atkins mentioned him in this detention center prisoners live almost subhumanly, something that would seem like a lot for a Becker who hasn’t been convicted of any violent crime. He added: “Wandsworth is one of the most notorious prisons in the country. The prisoners, for the most part, appear to be severely mentally ill, on drugs or both. “

Thus they continue to spend the days of the German in prison, but not before having left some controversy on the road. Atkins, closed: “Prison is marked by drug abuse and mental health problems. Some inmates spend more than 22 hours a day in dilapidated cells. “
