Tina Nash, 44, who was left blind after her ex gouged out her eyes in a brutal 12-hour attack, says she's terrified after he was moved to an open prison.
Shane Jenkin, jailed for life in 2012, could be eligible for day release this summer.
Tina, from Cornwall, is raising funds to secure her home and stop his release, saying, “I was promised he’d never hurt anyone again.”
A Ministry of Justice spokesperson confirmed the move followed a risk assessment.
Tina’s petition has over 25,000 signatures.

00:00My name is Tina Nash. I live in Cornwall and I'm a survivor from domestic violence.
00:07I'm having massive concerns at the moment. The perpetrator that did this to me gouged out my eyes.
00:12He has one to be released to CAT D open prison conditions. I really wasn't expecting this
00:18considering it was only two years ago that he was in max A category prison. It feels like he's
00:23gone straight from max A to CAT D and I don't know how he's done this and yeah I'm very concerned.
00:30and I would like this to be looked at and to be reassessed because I do believe that this man
00:35is a psychopath. I've been working with a behavioural expert who also believes that he is a psychopath
00:42and she also believes like I do that he has not been assessed for psychopathy and psychopaths
00:49cannot be reformed. I'd like someone to take a look at this again please. I've had a GoFundMe page set up
00:55to help secure up my house for when this man is getting released. Basically I'm going to have
01:02cameras put up all around my house and inside my house and also alarm systems. You know I'm also
01:08looking to buy some smart glasses to help like things that people take for granted like reading
01:13their post or reading a menu from a restaurant or you know picking an item of clothing out of my
01:22wardrobe to see what colour it is. Even just like adaptions around my house like a talking
01:27washing machine so that I can actually put my washing on myself or a cooker that talks to me
01:33so that I can actually start cooking again. So that's what I intend to do with that money. I'm so
01:38grateful to everybody that has helped me because I'd be feeling very very unsafe right now.
01:45What I'm expecting or hoping is for the Ministry of Justice to get back to me because I still haven't
01:51heard anything back yet to see if they will put this man back to be reassessed for psychopathy.
01:58That is what I'm hoping for because they're basically letting a psychopath loose on the streets
02:04and someone else is seriously going to get hurt and that is exactly why I'm speaking out. He might even
02:08come for me, hopefully not but you know if he does then there's nothing really much I can do about it
02:14apart from just secure up my house. But I'm scared that he's going to hurt somebody else.
02:19I've also set up a petition for don't release Shane Jenkin. It's change.org. If anyone could please
02:27sign and share that petition I would be extremely grateful because the more signatures we get the
02:33more that the justice system has to take accountability and hopefully we can get this re-looked at.
