For any of you not acquainted with the West murders, I encourage you to read about Fred and Rosemary. They are monsters in a class by themselves.

Avon, Monopoly and The Archers: Why Rose West loves life in jail so much she wants to die there
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...he-Archers-Why-Rose-West-loves-life-jail.htmlRosemary West is so happy in prison she wants to die there, the Mail can reveal.
Days ahead of the 20th anniversary of the Cromwell Street House of Horrors case, a close associate of the 60-year-old serial killer says she has no interest in fighting her ‘life means life’ sentence because she enjoys living behind bars.
West, who was convicted of a total of ten murders in 1995, lives in a top-security prison at a cost of £50,000 a year to the taxpayer.
There the psychopath enjoys listening to The Archers on Radio 4, playing Monopoly, embroidery, cooking and shopping from catalogues. According to well-placed sources, she also loves beauty products from Avon and trinkets from Argos, which she has delivered. Her ‘cell’ at top security Low Newton jail in Durham features a TV, radio, CD player and her own bathroom.
Sex-obsessed West, whose husband killed himself shortly before he was due to stand trial alongside her for 12 murders, has also had a series of lesbian affairs behind bars. She reportedly earns £16 a week as an orderly after being promoted from a cleaner. One of her duties is said to include making tea for the warders.
Her fondness for her life in jail makes a mockery of a ruling by the European Court of Human Rights, rejected this week by the Court of Appeal, that whole-life tariffs are unlawful.
And it will infuriate relatives of the nine girls and young women who were raped, tortured and murdered by West, with her equally depraved husband Fred, and buried at their terraced home in Gloucester.
After Rose was convicted, some of the victims’ families complained that the murderess would never have to worry about food, heating and accommodation bills in prison.
Next Wednesday, it will be exactly 20 years since police discovered the remains of the Wests’ missing 16-year-old daughter Heather – and another human thigh bone – buried in the back garden at 25 Cromwell Street.
Heather, who disappeared in 1987, was the first of nine girls and young women whose remains were found at the Wests’ home. [...]
