'Racist' jail dealt blow as deputy governor quits 

     Britain's biggest youth jail suffered a fresh blow
     yesterday after a deputy governor became the latest
     senior manager to resign. 

     Half of Feltham's 717 inmates, aged from 15 to 21, are
     from Asian or Afro-Caribbean backgrounds, as are 11
     per cent of its 654 staff. The senior management is
     entirely white. 

     Martin Narey, director general of the Prison Service,
     commented: "There's no element of denial, I've been
     absolutely up-front about the problems we have. It goes
     beyond institutional racism to blatant malicious pockets
     of racism."
