E53 - Jailhouse Justice? - The Murder of Richard Huckle True Crime Britain

*** Warning! This episodes contains details of sexual abuse against children, as well as descriptions of violence. Please take care when listening***
There is an expectation that the criminal justice system is there to protect society and to punish offenders for the crimes they have committed. But what about when their crimes are so horrendous, so damaging, and so perverse, that you can barely stand to hear about them. Is a term of imprisonment really enough? Does the safety offered by concrete walls, and three-square meals a day protect society, or does it shield the offender from those who feel like they deserve a taste of their own medicine?
In today’s episode, we cover the life and crimes of Richard Huckle, one of the UKs worst known child sex offenders. But Richard’s story doesn’t belong only to him. It is also the tale of Paul Fitzgerald - a man whose name might never have been known, had he not served up his own form of jailhouse justice. His actions were wrong by the standard of the law, but when you learn about Richard’s history – will you still feel the same way?
