Jack Shepherd, nicknamed the “speedboat killer”, has been transferred to HMP Frankland where he will serve alongside some of the UK’s most notorious criminals.

Durham Prison, nicknamed the “monster mansion”, houses the most dangerous prisoners in the United Kingdom, including terrorists, murderers and rapists.

The facility near Brasside, which was built in the 1980s, holds male prisoners over the age of 21 who are considered high risk and sentenced to four years to life.

The former Shepherd web designer will now see the rest of his sentence here alongside evil criminals like Soham murderer Ian Huntley, serial killer Levi Bellfield and Sarah Everard killer, ex-cop Wayne Couzens.

In 2019, the 33-year-old was sentenced to a six-year sentence for grossly negligent manslaughter following the death of 24-year-old Charlotte Brown, who died in 2015.

A source told Mirror Online that Shepherd kept his dead at Co Durham Prison.

They said: “He spends his days writing to friends and family and getting along with the other inmates.

“Prison was a lesson in humility for him.”
