A PRISON gang is handing out its own form of justice inside our jails, targeting paedophiles and rapists for beatings.

Longstanding white supremacist gang Willing 2 Kill (W2K), along with newly formed gang Eight Kings, have been assaulting new prisoners charged with sex offences over the past several weeks inside Kirkconnell jail.

Prison sources say members of the gang were forcing newly jailed inmates to hand over their briefs of evidence, which details their charges, before beating those charged with any type of sex offence.

The sources say several prisoners have been hospitalised and staff have been forced to segregate inmates in an ­already crowded system.

Public Service Association Corrections Branch chairman Steve McMahon said segregating the prisoners involved was “almost impossible” because of overcrowding.

“Some white supremacist gangs have decided it’s their role within the jail system to punish inmates who are known to be sex offenders,” Ms McMahon said.

“It’s a side effect of the overcrowding issue where we just don't have an appropriate amount of space to be able to separate people out properly.

“We’re not going to be able to properly manage this until the government does something about the overcrowding.”

The W2K gang still has a strong representation within the jail system, with one member, armed robber Aaron John Errington, starting a brawl at Parklea jail earlier this month.

A Corrective Services spokesman confirmed: “A small number of inmates calling themselves W2K were involved in assaults on two other inmates at Kirkconnell Correctional Centre. Those involved had their security classifications increased and were removed from the centre.”
