/// Robinson’s offense was to film and name suspects in a grooming gang trial. This was illegal, and might have caused a mistrial, but, as his supporters point out, the British press has a long history of doing worse. Perhaps more convincingly, they also argue that had Robinson been a hard-left ‘activist’ rather than a ‘far-right’ bigot or racist, the left-wing press and the BBC that now assail him would be defending him as a fearless ‘citizen journalist’, talking ‘truth to power’. ///
How true is that?
And why is he in a high security prison, he should be in an open prison, if at all.

The British press understand and obey the law involving news blackouts, 'Tommy Robinson' chose not to, and is in prison because of it.

Robinson was charged and convicted on three accounts: breaking reporting restrictions , causing distress to the defendants and I can't remember the third.
Many journalists have been convicted of the first offence. How many have been jailed? None. I'll say that again for the hard of comprehension: NONE.
So I have to assume that the serious bit which got him banged up was "upsetting" rapists.
Have I got that right?

AOG, to answer your question about the type of Prison he's in,
/// ‘Everyone knows that the UK prisons are overrun by gangs, Muslim gangs in particular, which is why he couldn’t be in the general population, and why he couldn’t eat food sent to solitary confinement in Onley ///
That was lifted straight from the link you supplied in the OP,
Just can't think how you missed it.
