Peter Norgrove was a prison warden
I have already written about it in detail here.

The public service job
of Jehovah's Witness was kept secret because the elder was a prison guard.
The Jehovah's Witness was a prison official
for 16 years.
A colleague from the detention centre who had
worked with the elder now claims to the DailyMail that Peter Norgrove had
"temperament problems".
Prior to his employment in the public sector,
the Jehovah's Witness worked in the environmental health sector as a prison
officer at the notorious and privately operated Category B detention facility,
HMP Birmingham.
He worked there between 2002 and 2018, where
he was reprimanded several times for disciplinary problems in the service.

HM Prison Birmingham is a Category B men's
prison.
Category B means that it is a closed
institution where the prisoners do not need the highest level of security, but
who still have to be made very difficult to escape.
The prison was operated by the security
company G4S Aktiengesellschaft.
Peter Norgrove, as an elder in his service,
carried a weapon.
The company has been criticized and embroiled
in numerous controversies.
It was discredited for its poor working
conditions and low pay.
G4S was in the news in June 2016 because of
employee Omar Mateen, the shooter behind one of the worst mass shootings in
U.S. history, who was used by the company as a security guard.
The newspaper has now tracked down a colleague
of the Jehovah's Witness murderer.
This colleague, who worked with Norgrove, told
the newspaper that the eldest was "moody" at work and had
"control problems."
During this time, chaos reigned in the prison
as a report found that inmates were systematically using alcohol, drugs, and
violence, and that prison staff were subjected to widespread bullying.
In addition, in December 2016, there were
staff shortages and a 14-hour riot with at least 500 prisoners in the privately
run prison by G4A.
On 16 December 2016, around 600 prisoners took
part in a riot at HM Prison Birmingham.
The disturbance has been described as the
worst in Britain since the Strangeways uprising of 1990.
Here is one of the numerous reports in the
press with a video:

The national chairman of the Prison Officers
Association said that more than 30 prison officers had resigned in the weeks
leading up to the riot and that further convulsions in the prison were
inevitable.
In a statement to Parliament, Justice
Secretary Elizabeth Truss said that understaffing was the cause of the 12-hour
riot in Birmingham and that the G4S would have to bear the cost of deploying 10
highly skilled elite public sector Tornado teams sent to quell the uprising.
John Thornhill, the president of the
Independent Oversight Committee, agreed that inadequate staff in prisons in
England and Wales had led to increased violence, leading to "unbridled
violence" and the transfer of a "large number of prisoners... to
other prisons" that are already overburdened with their own problems and
staffing problems."
Peter Clarke, the government's chief inspector
of prisons, reported that it was the worst prison he had ever visited.
During his time in prison, there was talk of
mistreatment of prisoners, and Jehovah's Witness Peter Norgrove was reputed to
"cause trouble."
The colleague told the press:
Quote: "He had a bad reputation and would cause problems with other employees." He complained a lot and had a toxic temperament. What has come to light since then, and the murder, is horrific. It's really shocking. There were disciplinary problems, but they were not comparable to such violence."
Around 11% of the inmates claimed to have been
attacked by prison officials.
One particular incident involved a mentally
disturbed prisoner who had been denied washing or changing clothes for weeks
because the staff believed they were faking his illness.
According to the colleague, Peter Norgrove was
fired in 2018.
However, at the time when the security company
G4A was also deprived of supervision of the prison by the government.
