Two murderers, drug dealers and armed robbers are among nearly 40 convicts still on the run from Britain’s softest prison – some for up to TEN years.

Killers Robert Donovan and Derek Passmore are two of the fugitives on the loose from HM Prison Ford which has the worst absconder record in Britain.

Donovan, 58, jailed indefinitely for stabbing a West London theatre manager in 1974, has been at large since he failed to return to the open prison in June 2010.

Passmore, 50, who beat a disabled man to death, has evaded police for around 20 months since failing to return from day release.

He cracked disabled Paul Craig’s skull in a jealous rage and left him to die in a flat in Hampton, west London in 1997 mistakenly thinking he was seeing his ex-girlfriend.

The Ministry of Justice has admitted that 39 escapees remain at large since walking out of the open prison, near Arundel, in West Sussex between April 2004 and March 2014.

The figures were released under a Freedom of Information request – but the MoJ refused to name nine of them ‘to protect their victims’.

Another absconder is carer Tom Zolynski who was jailed for two years in May 2010 for stealing £10,000 from a pensioner he was supposed to be looking after.

He disappeared two months after arriving at Ford at the age of 35 but police are still looking for him nearly FIVE years later.

The missing 39 also include those who have failed to return from temporary release and those who walked out without permission.

Ford, which houses 500 prisoners, was last year revealed to have the worst record for outstanding fugitives of any British prison.

Since it was opened in 1960 89 lags have walked free and remained at large.

Another on the fun is fraudster Oluwasegun Adekunle (doub corr) who has enjoyed freedom for nearly seven years since walking out of Ford aged 27.

He was jailed in 2007 for his role in a gang who stole £2.4million from banks. They also attempted to defraud BBC journalist Rageh Omaar.

Of the 39 lags on the lamb – not counting any who escaped after April 2014 – 15 failed to return after being granted temporary release, while 24 simply walked out.

Sussex Police refused to reveal the total number of prisoners currently on the run from Ford, who left before or after the released data.

The Ministry of Justice said: “Prisoners who abscond, fail to return or commit crime while on release will be sent back to closed prisons.

“Temporary release can be an important part of rehabilitating offenders but not at the cost of public protection.”
