And it keeps the peace. And makes your job easier as they deal with the minor day to day issues.

Until someone doesnt pay 😂😂😂
Then they get the lad who’s hooked on spice to give him a few digs in order for a free bit of spice paper 😭😂🤦🏽‍♀️

It prob won’t be as horrible in there for her as you might think, if that helps at all. I was in prison for 10 months and I made some of the best friends I’ve ever known in there. She can receive as many emails or letters as you can send. She’ll be all right. Hope you are too.
Thank you- I really appreciate it.

I'd always heard over the years that such people were " let out" now and again so the other crims could lay into them. I'm sorry to hear it's not true. The only thing worse than being a porta potty must be being an unwilling one, which I wouldn't wish on anyone but I'd happily make an exception for anyone who abuses/murders children

Oh god knows what she meant then , I'm probably hearing it wrong or got his sentencing wrong
Maybe she means only one year to go before he can apply for cat d I am not sure but I know you can’t be considered until you have 3 years left of your sentence

There is a really interesting podcast all about the prison system featuring lots of ex-prisoners called A Bit of a Stretch.

There is one guy on there who talks about his experiences in UK prison vs. America and says that the UK is so, so dysfunctional in comparison which I found surprising.

I loved his book. I found it different to other prison novels as he is your "typical" prisoner.

It was when Hurrican Katrina hit, so 2005. I think alot of the inmates have had some sort of lawsuit against the sheriffs office. But I'm not 100% sure. I keep meaning to look into it more and see what's going on.
The video I watched was actually and Urban explore video and that's when it's mentioned. There were lots of comments on thr video talking about it too. I couldnt believe it! The prison looked so claustrophobic too. The only outside area was on top of the prison with these high concrete walls around it! The inmates must have been so scared when the hurricane hit and the water started to rush in, can you imagine??
I had no idea about any of it until I stumbled across the video
Here's a link to a article about it

Here's the Urban explore video as they walk around the now abandoned prison, I can't even begin to imagine how awful it must have been, even before the hurricane hit, to reside in here. Utterly depressing, poor souls.
They did an incredible job at sweeping this under the rug! I’ve read a few different accounts from the prisoners and most state that they were eventually evacuated to a bridge but held by armed officers who couldn’t (or maybe wouldn’t) provide anything for them (water, food, medication, etc)

Oh this would bug me. Do you have access to a handheld vacuum?
There's a store cupboard on every wing where you can get brooms, mops, etc. & cleaning products .

How do they smoke it? * Asking for a friend * - haha not really I've got weed.

Has their ever been a programme that seems to show what a prison is actually like?
I've seen prison programmes such as Channel 5 ones but they focused mainly on the infamous prisoners and their crimes rather than the day to day life of a prison in general. Not sure if there are any documentaries that I don't know of but suppose there will be only so much they can show

We were working in Ireland recently; one of my colleagues asked for blackcurrant in his Guinness..............barmans response "Sorry we don't do cocktails"
When I was pregnant ( way way back) Dr. Told me drink Guinness in milk for the iron 🤢🤢🤮🤮 it wasn't a palatable combination.

So I’ve just found out an old friend is in prison, is there anyway to find out what prison they are in and to contact them ? How does it work?

I’ve got some questions too (boring but I’m interested in Prison life, seen the Parole programme on bbc and it’s so interesting)

1. Why is there a £20 limit or so per week? Surely it’s up to them if you wanna stay on the phone all day..

2. Do they have a proper single mattress and pillow like we do at home? Who washes these sheets?

3. Who cleans their cell? Do they get access to a dustpan and brush?
I guess it wouldn’t be much of a punishment if they could just sit on the phone all day chatting to their friends and family.
