article: These are the sneering faces of some of the 39 criminals currently on the run from a notorious open prison. Among their number are two murderers, as well as drug dealers and fraudsters. Some  have been awol from Ford Open Prison for  as long as 10 years, according to information only now released by the Ministry of Justice. One of the escapees from the 500-inmate jail, is violent killer Robert Donovan, 57. His disappearance only emerged last year, four years after he had walked out of the prison in Arundel, Sussex. AWOL: Murderer Robert Donovan, 57, left,  is considered so dangerous that the public have been advised not to approach him. He disappeared from Ford in 2010, but it took the police four years to alert the public. Fellow murderer Derek Passmore, right, escaped in 2013 after being jailed for beating a disabled man to death in 1996 . Notorious: Ford Open Prison in Arundel, Sussex, was revealed to have the worst record for prison escapes . Murderer Derek Passmore, who beat to death a disabled man in 1996, is still at large after failing to return from day release in June 2013, despite a public appeal a month after his escape. Carer Tom Zolynski stole £10,000 from a pensioner he was supposed to be helping and was jailed for two years in May 2010, but left the prison without permission later that year and has yet to be caught. Goran Durdevic was jailed for 15 months in 2005, at age 28, for using a so-called 'Lebanese loop' to steal a man's credit card at a cash machine. He left the prison without permission in February 2006. In June last year Ford, near Arundel, was revealed to have the worst record for inmates vanishing, with a total of 89 prisoners on the run, dating back to one who had gone missing in the early 1960s. The Ministry of Justice has now responded to a Freedom of Information request and finally revealed the names of 29 missing since 2004 and outline details of a further ten. They include those who failed to return from temporary release and those who simply walked out without permission, known as 'absconds'. Among those who failed to return after a temporary release in June 2010 is 57-year-old Robert Donovan, who was convicted of stabbing a West End theatre manager to death. Police considered him so dangerous that he should not be approached by the public, but not a single appeal was made for help catching him until June last year. Donovan, who was jailed indefinitely at the Old Bailey in December 1974, had been in open conditions for less than a year when he absconded. Leacroft Wallace, left, vanished in 2011, he was jailed for possessing drugs with intent and Malek Riahi, right, was sent to prison for deception offences. He has not been seen since 2006 . Abid Butt, left, was inside for possession drugs with intent and went on the run in 2006 and Ion Popescu, right, was convicted of going equipped for theft. He escaped in 2009 . John Wilson, left, was jailed for alcohol related offences and has been missing since 2010. Jose Praga-Perdomo, right, was jailed for the importing drugs . Arben Nuredini, left, who disappeared in January was jailed for wounding with intent and Mokrane Mahdid, right, who vanished in 2006, was jailed for false instruments . James Demorges, left, who was inside for fraud, disappeared six years ago and Alvin Harris, right,  jailed for importing drugs, has been missing for 10 years. He was 17 when he and his brother Patrick, 19, and David Baillie, 17, robbed and killed Palladium stage manager Edwin Thornley, who was stabbed in the neck with a flick-knife on Hungerford Bridge over the Thames. All three youths admitted robbing him. Robert Donovan was convicted of murder and the other two were convicted of manslaughter and jailed for up to six years. As well as the 25 pictured, the Ministry of Justice named five more men it says are on the run but which Sussex Police, who release the pictures, said were not on its list of missing inmates. Those include fraudster Oluwasegun Adekule, who was jailed in 2007 for his key role in a gang of fraudsters who reportedly stole £2.4 million from clients of Halifax, HSBC and Barclays, including trying to defraud BBC journalist Rageh Omar. He was 26 at the time he absconded in September 2008. Manuel Guio-Ruiz, left, disappeared in 2004 while serving a sentence for drug possession with intent and Tom Zolynski, right, vanished in 2010 after being jailed for theft. He was a carer who stole £10,000 from a pensioner he was looking after . Samuel Rutherford, left, has not been seen for nine years after disappearing while serving his sentence for Importing drugs and Marco Napolitano, right, disappeared in 2006. He was jailed for theft . Thief Goran Durdevic, left, went awol from Ford in 2006 and drug smuggler Oyewale Owolodun, right, vanished the year earlier . Gary Robinson, left, is a drug smuggler, who disappeared eight years ago and Michael Bronson is a drug dealer, who vanished in 2009 . It was 2005 when Oweh Ogbonna, left,  jailed for drug smuggling disappeared and fraudster Ismail Hasko, right,  went on the run in 2010 . Burglar Steven Fortnam, left, disappeared in 2011 and drug dealer Sylvian Monjal, right, went missing six years earlier . Richard John Agar was convicted of unlawfully importing or exporting drugs in 2007, and failed to return from temporary release in 2009, aged 45. It was not his first offence: he lost an appeal in 2000 against a previous conviction for amphetamine supply in Edinburgh. Drug dealer John Umego-Castano had his sentence for supplying Class A drugs cut from 15 years to 13 years in 2006 after the Court of Appeal agreed the amount of drugs involved was not enough to warrant such a harsh sentence. Yet in 2009, aged 41, he failed to return from temporary release, and is still at large. The other two are Sedan Asan, who was convicted of deception and absconded from the prison in 2006, at age 28, and Johnny Watson, who was convicted of supplying drugs and, age 39, also walked out without permission in 2006. Victor Lloyd Mcfarlane, escaped from Ford 10 years ago, when he was serving a sentence for supplying drug . A Ministry of Justice spokesman said: 'Prisoners who abscond, fail to return or commit crime while on release will be sent back to closed prisons.' He added: 'Temporary release can be an important part of rehabilitating offenders but not at the cost of public protection.' Open prisons like Ford are used for prisoners who are trusted to serve their sentences with minimal supervision and perimeter security and are not locked up in prison cells. Prisoners may be allowed to take up employment while serving their sentence and leave the site at designated times to go to their job. The men at Ford get television at 50p per week, hobbies kits and PlayStation. But although they are deemed trustworthy enough not to be locked up in a cell, in June 2014, Ford was revealed to have the worst record for fugitive inmates, with 89 on the run. Sussex Police pledged it was 'determined to find all those still at large'. But at the time it only released the names of those it deemed the greatest risk to the public, saying it could not justify releasing the 'personal information' on the others. Following a Freedom of Information request made in September last year, the MoJ took around six months to respond and did not reveal the names of ten of the 39 prisoners due to 'concerns regarding police investigation and/or risk of harm to the victim'. Glyn Travis, spokesman for the POA trade union for prison workers, today insisted it should not have to take a freedom of information battle to get the names of prisoners on the run. He said: 'The court sentences people to prison because they have lost trust in them. 'So for me, if they walk out of prison, they have broken that trust even further and the public should be made aware that. 'They should say, 'so-and-so has walked out of prison and while we don't consider him a risk to the public, he should be brought back'.' The Ministry of Justice says eligibility for open prisons has now been revised as part of 'significant work' to tighten the system. But Mr Travis said 'major problems' contributing to prisoners running away still needed to be addressed. He added: 'There is constant overcrowding and inappropriate prisoners are being sent to open prison when they obviously pose a serious risk to the public.'
