The youngest killer in history Jon Venables has been given a luxury prison cell fitted out with widescreen TV, video games, guitar and gym equipment. Prison officials fear the 27-year-old is depressed and suicidal。

　　He and Robert Thompson were both aged ten when they abducted and murdered two-year-old James in Merseyside in February 1993. The pair were controversially released from custody in 2001 but in February this year it emerged that Venables, now 27 and living under a new identity, had been 'recalled to custody' for alleged breaches of his parole licence over child porn。

　　Concerns about his mental state has prompted officials to deck out his cell with entertainment. As well as a TV, gym and Nintendo GameCube, Venables has been provided with a music system and a guitar. It was claimed that Venables enjoyed listening to rock music, before attempting to strum the tunes on a guitar he was given from wardens。

　　A decision on whether to charge Venables with child porn offences will be made within weeks. the case could be the subject of unprecedented reporting restrictions to protect his new identity。

　　据英国《每日邮报》19日报道，英国史上最年轻的儿童杀人犯乔恩·维纳布尔斯(Jon Venables)的豪华监狱于近日遭到曝光，这个冷血杀手的监狱里竟然设有宽频电视、视频游戏、吉他、音响系统以及个人健身房。监狱管理人员对此表示，此举是由于发现乔恩的精神状态不断恶化，为防止其自杀才给的“特殊待遇”。

　　现年27岁的乔恩在他只有10岁时(1993年)，在英国利物浦与另一名同龄男童罗伯特·汤普森诱拐并折磨致死一名2岁男婴詹姆斯，然后将其尸体抛掷于火车铁轨上让火车碾成两段。法医验尸后发现，该名2岁男婴的身上共有42处伤痕，大部分在头部，并伴有多处骨折和刺伤痕迹，生殖器也有被性侵的迹象。乔恩和罗伯特从而被控犯有谋杀罪，成为英国300年来被控该罪行的年纪最小的杀人犯。在监狱度过了8年后，乔恩和罗伯特一片争议声中于2001年6月被释放，但是在今年二月，27岁的乔恩因再次被怀疑涉嫌儿童性侵案，再度被送返监狱。

　　再次收监后，对乔恩精神状态的担忧促使监狱管理员们为他的监狱配备了一套娱乐设施。除了一台宽频电视、健身房、任天堂视频游戏机，乔恩还拥有了一把吉他和相应的音响系统。监狱管理人员说，这是因为获悉乔恩喜欢听摇滚乐，为了催生他的求生信念才给布置的。

　　据悉，乔恩的再度性侵儿童案将于数周后审判，而为了保护乔恩的“新身份”，此案可能设置媒体报道相关限制。
