Thomas 'Bomber' Kavanagh's days in cushy prison with charity runs and animal therapy are over after sentence

Mobster Thomas 'Bomber' Kavanagh’s days in a cushy private prison are soon set to come to an end - after he was handed down a 21 year sentence this week.

Kavanagh (54), who was up until recently the Kinahan cartel’s top man in the UK, has been locked up in HM Prison Dovegate, a relatively low security ‘Category B’ jail near Uttoxeter in Staffordshire - where he was being offered everything from charity runs for Ukraine to art classes and ‘animal therapy.’

Dovegate, which is being operated by private company Serco, states that it takes in prisoners serving four years and over - with at least 18 months left to serve.
