A teenage terrorist who has stabbed ten prison officers since being locked up has been moved to an NHS unit where he can enjoy board games and film nights.
Nathan Ruth, who can now be named for the first time after turning 18, was jailed for seven years in 2024 after being convicted of plotting an attack at the Isle of Wight Festival.
Then aged 15, he had researched weapons, vehicles and stab vests.
Prison sources at Feltham Young Offenders institute in south-west London warn that staff at his new NHS mental health unit are not safe from the Muslim-convert extremist, who tried to slice one guard's ear off and stabbed another with a makeshift weapon known as a 'shank'.
A leaked intelligence report on Ruth, who was snared following a tip-off from the FBI, reveals he has a history of improvising weapons and attacking staff and that he intends to kill a prison officer.
Between his arrest in July 2022 and sentencing in April last year, he had already attacked prison personnel on 18 occasions.
But Ruth will now be able to take advantage of sports facilities, quizzes, arts and crafts and movie nights after being moved to Bluebird House mental health facility in Hampshire.
The centre's website states that staff provide 'a friendly, welcoming and therapeutic environment for our young people'.
The unit's three wards care for up to 20 young people and include a relaxation room, sports hall, games room, fitness suite and all-weather sports area. Patients are provided with their own 'homely and comfortable' bedroom with an en-suite.
Its website continues: 'During evenings and weekends we plan activities such as sports, boardgames, quizzes, arts and crafts and film nights.'
Guards at Feltham would wear full riot gear when they delivered food or allowed him out to shower or exercise, and staff are shocked he has been transferred to a hospital that 'looks more like a five-star hotel', a source said.
'He has stabbed so many officers while in Feltham – and openly boasts to staff that we will see him on the news one day,' the source added.
'We can't believe they have let him go. He has 100 per cent manipulated the system to get himself sent somewhere more comfortable.'
The source said that once it had been decided that Feltham was detrimental to his health, the terrorist began boasting about his luxurious new quarters and how the facility would be easier to escape from.
'What really annoys staff is that he has received no further prison time for all the stabbings against staff,' they said.
'They just want to focus on his rehabilitation. Well, tell that to the officer who nearly lost an ear. He is a stone-cold psychopath, the scariest I have ever seen.
'He will not stop until he has killed someone. Staff at that place do not know what they are letting themselves in for.'
A Ministry of Justice spokesman said: 'Prisoners can be transferred for treatment in mental health hospitals, based on assessments by expert clinicians, but will return to prison once they are fit to do so.
'We do not tolerate violence against our hard-working staff and will always push for the strongest possible punishments for those who break the rules.'
