If ever proof was needed of how soft they are and what a joke security is i am currently talking to a mate of mine via txt and facebook.
Oh and he is in horfield, ridiculous.

a colleague of mine went to hmp portland last week.



...to install library software, duhhhhh. anyway, libraries? with software? bloody crims have it easy

That they do sonic, can't blame them if they can get away with it i suppose, when i went to dorchester they asked if i wanted to go on the drug free wing.. Wtf is that about

So what you're saying DRS is your mate should be having a much worse time of it. Are you passing these sentiments onto him via his presumably illegally obtained moby/however he's accessing facebook?

Damn right i told the fucker but like i say i can't blame him at all. I draw the line at topping his phone up though the cheeky bastard

i like porridge

I like midgets on jet ski's

Like smoking or non smoking at restaurants.. Or how they used to be anyway.

More importantly did you go in the drug free wing?

I did tails it was um great

Seems to me that the worst thing about being sent down these days is the fact that you can't do your job, go on holidays, watch the town lose, spend time with the family etc. The actual experience in it self isn't too bad.
So for someone who doesn't have a job, home, etc it is not too much of a deterent. My younger brother did 7 weeks of a 7 month sentence, ie a quarter of the time, for sharing some weed with his mates. His biggest problem was staying off the stuff for a month inside, so he'd pass the test before being released ! (His release was delayed a week because he wasn't clear after 6 weeks inside)

Your example just shows how daft the system is Phil S.

Get sent down for sharing a bit of weed, beat the shit out of someone in town on a friday night for no real reason and you'll get community service ::)

Or a commendation, if it was KFC82 ;)

I'm on a prison visit last night to the last Victorian built prison, which has just ceased use.

Went to a prison on a college trip (did public services). Absolute disgrace how they get so much good things like tv's, computers, ps2's etc..
They do wrong, and live in luxury. Something really wrong with it.

 I find it hard to believe someone would get 7 months for "sharing a bit of weed with his mates"

Ok, it might have been "generously sharing weighed amounts of weed in exchange for currency" but its still better than giving someone a unprovoked kicking in my view

Well he was smoking the weed after the crack and heroin had run out.

My missus' mum works for the prison service... She provided the glue for Gary Glitter's wig while he was in Horfield :)

Which he probably used for sniffing!

N'ah - apparently that's not his weakness.

One of the guys at work has a mate currently enjoying a stay at her majesty's pleasure. And I mean enjoy. He's got a nice cushti cell to himself, Sky+ and a PSP. Prison's a joke.

Keeps them off the streets though don't it ;)

What's cushty about a cell?

The other things are creature comforts and you could argue strongly that they shouldn't be allowed them.

If your homeless Sie a cell is very cushty....alot of unfortunates would love a bed and be dry and safe for the night.....prison is cushty...end of.

Lets make them sleep on the streets.

What a stupid point.

Skyplus? That must be bollocks sam

Johnny Cash is to blame for all this. Played a few prison gigs in the 50s and 60s and next thing you know the inmates are getting Sky + boxes in their cells (apparently).

Not as stupid as a cell not being cushty?

So you think sleeping in a confined space without natural light is cushty. If you do that's fair enough. I don't.

However, I'm not going to strat making claims that stale bread is nice just because a starving person would eat it, whereas I'd chuck it out.

Fair enough mate,i see your point...but i disagree,i lived rough when i was young for a year and many a time a cell wouldve been welcome...light and all!!

Should have got arrested then mate.

To be fair ime contradicting myself now but i wouldve have been shit scared,so as you said it couldnt have been to inviting at the time.

That last post was only a joke :)

If you just punish people they end up hating authority and the system. If done right prison can help people. Best thing that ever happened to me and not scary

i heard that they give prisoners full three course meals before they get killed

That's just on the yard sonic

it's bloody luxury, what a disgrace.

I agree i had a radio and a shared toilet. Turned my quilt into a swindon flag and the yeovil supporting screw went mad

It's shocking! Prison is almost like a reward! Bloody toe sucking liberals with their can't say blackboard, baa baa black sheep....not in my name! PSP's, SKY +, water bottles and foot rubs. God, some of you lot make me puke with phoney rage. I'm not arsed really, but fuck off!

how? did you bleed on it? or were you good at cross stitch?

Jizz, nah marker pen

YOu have marker pens in prison?!!?!?!??!? Whats the world coming too
