The child killers — both inmates with 'enhanced' privileges at HMP Bronzefield, Surrey — also spend time in each other's cells and in the kitchen together.
But their love of the Uno game, which sees players try to match cards and yell 'Uno' when they have just one left, has sparked fury among staff and lags.
Our source said: 'It's a grim spectacle. They spend ages at the table playing and get really into it.
'People are angry, but staff have to do what they can to keep prisoners happy.

‘Gena is tough – she'll put on a brave face', says charity pal of Irish woman kidnapped in Haiti amid call for EU help
The Westport woman was kidnapped over the weekend along with seven others and a child from the orphanage RESCUE BID 'Gena is tough – she'll put on a brave face', says charity pal of Irish woman kidnapped in Haiti amid call for EU help THE Irish woman kidnapped in Haiti has been described as 'a tough and very resilient person' as the Irish government ask the EU to step in and help in her rescue. Gena Heraty runs the Saint Helene orphanage in the Kenscoff area near Port au Prince, Haiti where crime gangs have taken over the country.

The orphanage is run by the Nos Petits Freres et Soeurs (Our Little Brothers and Sisters) who are working with the authorities to try and free Gena. Chairperson of the humanitarian organisation Jessica Mullins described Gena as an 'amazing person' who is following her vocation to help children in the impoverished country. Jessica said: 'Gena is tough. She will definitely be putting on a brave face for everyone else because it wasn't just Gena that was taken – there was seven other people including that three year old child that was taken with her. Advertisement 'I have no doubt Gena is trying to put on a brave face for everyone and also probably herself trying to negotiate her way out. 'No doubt there is also an element of fear there.' Irish woman Gena Heraty has spent over 30 years working in Haiti to help children in the country where gangs have taken over. The charity leader said that Gena has great resilience which is shown by her sticking with her work in Haiti despite the explosion in crime and poverty that has taken over the country in recent years. Advertisement Jessica said: 'For Gena, this isn't a job. It's a vocation. One of her colleagues said to us that it is her true mission in life. Simon Harris 'does not expect' poll on Irish unity in this decade 'She really is an amazing person and just serves with love and compassion and dignity. 'She's probably one of the most selfless people I've ever met.' Tanaiste Simon Harris has raised the kidnapping of Gena Heraty with the EU's High Representative for Foreign Affairs Kaja Kallas. Advertisement Ms Kallas has organised for an EU rep to work on the case and open discussions with Haiti and liaise directly with Ireland.

Triple murderer, 69, with defibrillator implant executed with injection as he groaned ‘it hurts so bad' in 10 min ordeal
Byron Black's lawyer had warned that the execution could become a 'grotesque spectacle' 'GROTESQUE' DEATH Triple murderer, 69, with defibrillator implant executed with injection as he groaned 'it hurts so bad' in 10 min ordeal A TRIPLE murderer has become the first killer to be executed with a defibrillator implant in his chest. Byron Black, 69, groaned it was "hurting so bad" as he was given the lethal injection in Tennessee after a failed last-ditch bid to halt his execution. 6 Relatives of Byron Black's victims are escorted from the Nashville prison after his death Credit: AP 6 Byron Black, 69, was executed with lethal injection in Tennessee Credit: AP 6 Black killed his girlfriend Angela Clay and her two daughters, aged six and nine, in 1988 Credit: TN/Department of Correction Officials had refused to deactivate his implanted defibrillator despite fears it might continually try to restart his heart. Black's lawyer Kelley Henry had warned the execution could become a "grotesque spectacle" and he could still be in pain even if he looked unresponsive. Black died at 10.43am on Tuesday - about 10 minutes after he was given the injection. Asked for any last words, he replied, "No sir." But witnesses said he appeared to be in discomfort - sighing and breathing heavily and talking about being in pain. Black looked around the room as the execution started - lifting his head off the gurney multiple times, and could be heard sighing and breathing heavily. Throughout the execution, a spiritual adviser prayed and sang over Black - at one point touching his face. As he lay with his hands and chest restrained with an IV line in his arm, he said: "Oh, it's hurting so bad." The spiritual adviser responded: "I'm so sorry. Just listen to my voice." Black was jailed after he shot dead his girlfriend Angela Clay and her two daughters, aged six and nine, in 1988. He killed the trio while he was on work release from serving time for shooting Clay's estranged husband. Linette Bell, whose sister and two nieces were killed, told local station WKRN-TV: "He didn't have mercy on them, so why should we have mercy on him?" She added: "His family is now going through the same thing we went through 37 years ago. "I can't say I'm sorry because we never got an apology." Black was executed after a back-and-forth over whether officials would need to turn off his implantable cardioverter-defibrillator, or ICD. It was a battery-powered device designed to deliver electric shocks to restore a regular heartbeat if needed. Black was in a wheelchair, suffering from dementia, brain damage, kidney failure, congestive heart failure and other conditions. 6 Sharonda Page, left, a cousin of the victims of convicted murderer Byron Black Credit: AP 6 Demonstrators gather in the area reserved for anti-death penalty protesters before Byron Black's execution Credit: AP 6 Guards watch demonstrators outside Riverbend Maximum Security Institution before Black's execution Credit: AP His lawyers said that a doctor should put a device over the implant to ensure it was switched off. In July, a judge agreed it was necessary - but the state Supreme Court then said the judge lacked authority to order the defibrillator to be deactivated. Black's lawyer said the execution was shameful. Henry said: "Today, the state of Tennessee killed a gentle, kind, fragile, intellectually disabled man in a violation of the laws of our country simply because they could." The lawyer added that they will review data kept by the heart device as part of an autopsy. Prison officials have not commented on claims that Black appeared conscious or his complaints of pain. It marked Tennessee's second execution since May after a pause for five years - first because of the pandemic and then because of missteps by state corrections officials. Twenty-eight men have died by court-ordered execution so far this year in America - and nine other people are scheduled to be put to death in seven states during the remainder of 2025. The number of executions this year exceeds the 25 carried out last year and in 2018. It is the highest total since 2015, when 28 people were put to death.

Prince Harry criticised over row that risks damaging his charity's reputation
Read on to find out Harry's respose to the report HARRY CHARITY ROW Prince Harry criticised over row that risks damaging his charity's reputation PRINCE Harry was blasted last night for letting a boardroom battle damage his charity Sentebale. A watchdog said the public row risked undermining trust in good causes generally. 2 A source close to Harry blasted the report and said the prince was 'devastated the chair had been allowed to succeed with a hostile takeover' Credit: PA The Charity Commission said chances were missed to settle differences at Sentebale, set up by Harry and Lesotho's Prince Seeiso in 2006 for young people and kids living with HIV and Aids. It launched a probe when they stood down as patrons in support of trustees who quit in a dispute with Dr Sophie Chandauka over a fundraising strategy. Board of trustees chair Dr Chandauka said the 'toxicity' of Harry's brand since his move to live in the US had seen a drop in donors. She accused the Duke of Sussex, 40, of involvement in a 'cover-up' of a probe into bullying and harassment. READ MORE ROYAL NEWS ROSÉ GLASSES Meghan's new vintage of rose has to be bought in BULK & has less alcohol Last night, she said the 'adverse media campaign' launched by those who resigned 'caused incalculable damage' to the charity. The Times reported a source close to Harry blasted the report and said the prince was 'devastated the chair had been allowed to succeed with a hostile takeover'. His spokesman said those who rely on Sentebale would bear the 'consequences of her actions'. The Charity Commission said the public airing of the row harmed Sentebale's reputation and risked overshadowing its achievements. The regulator, which cannot investigate individual allegations of bullying, found no evidence of systemic bullying or harassment, including misogyny or misogynoir at the charity but acknowledged 'the strong perception of ill treatment' felt by some involved. David Holdsworth, chief executive of the Charity Commission, said: 'Passion for a cause is the bedrock of volunteering and charity, delivering positive impact for millions of people here at home and abroad every day. Harry QUITTING his own charity is utterly humiliating - misogyny row will hurt him deeply 'However, in the rare cases when things go wrong, it is often because that very passion has become a weakness rather than a strength. 'Sentebale's problems played out in the public eye, enabling a damaging dispute to harm the charity's reputation, risk overshadowing its many achievements, and jeopardising the charity's ability to deliver for the very beneficiaries it was created to serve.'
