The mother of a murdered teenager has slammed the prison service after her son's killer posted a mocking video from prison saying 'it could be worse, I could be dead.' She said: 'There needs to be better care for victims, families, better rehabilitation and tighter checks on what and who goes in and out of prisons. 'I want to make a difference to victims' families, and I want them to know that once the perpetrator's there, there is no contact with the outside world. I have had contact from a lot of different families saying that they had been contacted by their sons' killers. 'We are spending an extra £100 million on prison security, and anyone found with a mobile phone in prison faces longer behind bars.'
