"Prison officers tried to separate inmates from different backgrounds at a jail which witnessed a racist killing, an inquiry has heard. A senior Feltham officer said before the murder of Zahid Mubarek staff had thought the policy would stop clashes. But Keith Greenslade said officers had a "naive" view of racism at the west London young offenders' institution. And he added an officer could have deliberately housed a racist with a black or Asian prisoner."
