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.
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
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.
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
Ten years after Hurricane Katrina, we revisited the horrific story of the inmates who were stuck in the hellish Orleans Parish Prison.

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)
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
Completely agree and noted. My intention wasn’t to give confidential information away & I will definitely be more aware of what I post going forward!
Sorry everyone.
We were working in Ireland recently; one of my colleagues asked for blackcurrant in his Guinness..............barmans response "Sorry we don't do cocktails"
