Former Pakistani cricketer Mohammad Amir has been moved to a safer seaside prison days after his conviction in a spot-fixing scandal. Amir, who began serving his six-month sentence at Feltham Young Offenders Institution in West London on November 3, has been transferred to Portland Prison on the Dorset coast. “Feltham is a grim place to be – especially for a young international sports star. Amir will be glad to get out.
And Portland is a walk in the park by comparison,” the Sun quoted a source as saying. Feltham had earlier come under scanner after a racist inmate murdered his Muslim inmate. A 2010 report had pointed out “frequent” fights and “gang culture” in the jail. Amir is expected to appeal against his sentence for bowling deliberate no-balls in exchange for payments at a Lord’s match against England in August 2010.
I wish him luck with his appeal.
Amir has the right attitude and the judge just might reduce his prison sentence which is likely to secure a relatively early release. He is young, impressionable and very vulnerable. He will therefore need to be looked after following his release.
Amir must be handled gently and with due respect following his release.
Look at his hair style. Good he is behind the bars and should few lessons in jail. He ruined Pakistan name. No sympathy for him or his fellow criminals. Ali
he should shave his head for forever , to give shuch a bad name to my beautiful country.
