Were you guilty?Wheresmeticket? said:OK, I'll probably get pelters for this. I went to prison for 14 days once (I know, no biggie). It was terrifying. If I had had to stay there for months or years I don't think I would have managed and would probably have ended up yet another suicide statistic, like so many others. if you seriously think prison is so cushy how do you explain the massively disproportionate level of suicides, self harm and psychiatric problems?
I can tell you it is nightmarish, frightening and boring by turns with little or no respite. Locked up for several hours (at least) every day, usually with someone you would do your best to avoid on the out.0 -
Yes, I saw the 'upto' bit but added some factual clarity to the figures being presented as it would have been just as unclear if someone had said 'over 40%'.shine166 said:

Wasn't picking your post apart at all so feel free to put your paranoia away.
Hold on, forgot that we're only allowed to repeat made up info, opinions picked up down the pub or the upper figure of a range told to us by our partners.
Anyway, so long as you're sure.0 -

Fair post, but I come back to an earlier post of mine.hoof_it_up_to_benty said:It ultimately depends what you want to achieve with your prisons - do you want to lower reoffending or just try to please the 'hang 'em, flog 'em' brigade who are only concerned with punishment.
If we can cut reoffending that has to be a good thing?
If somebody's loved one was harmed most people would want the bar steward hurt, at least.1 -
As someone who has been behind the wall, I will give my experience and opinion on this.
Not all inmates are scum, or illiterate, or out for trouble, some have made huge mistakes and are paying the price, some, will, have a season ticket and no manner of comforts will change them.
My own opinion, these comforts and privileges (they had to be earned when I was in) make the screws lives easier, nothing wrong with that, but some people play the race/human rights/religious card, seen it, witnessed it first hand, and argued people against it. Prison can bring out the worst in people, obviously, but also it can bring out the best and change lives for the better.20 -
Something I've always wondered about being inside and sharing a cell is what if one of you snore like a train?
@AddickUpNorth can you request to be moved if your cellmate keeps you up all night?

Depends on the primary purpose of prison is-----punishment----or correction to not re offend?
At the moment seems to be in a nowhere place---- not really a punishment and not stopping reoffending
Nothing wrong with having library's in prison1 -
Sounds like some people on here have had some rubbish holidays1

Was going to comment but well beaten to iteaststandmike said:Not sure about the bars but the cushy life has been going on for years. The company I used to own had contracts in most of the big UK prisons and you would be amazed what goes on.
Three meals a day
Games Rooms
Craft Centers
Well stocked Library's
Well equipped gyms
All of them have Mosques
42" TV's
Sky
Play-stations
Plenty of drugs getting in as the screws would rather the inmates be high and content.
Doncaster prison even had a room off of the visiting center where couples were allowed to have sex. This really blew me away when I visited

If one of you snores like a train and it’s the snoring that keeps you up all night, a drone will be organised to drop in anti-snoring inserts, or a pillow will be used.DaveMehmet said:Something I've always wondered about being inside and sharing a cell is what if one of you snore like a train?

Kieran Stapleton is a cold blooded killer.
He went up to student Anuj Bidve and shot him in the head. The killer then stated he could do the sentence standing on his head.
He would get 3 meals a day and could watch Coronation Street. I thought at the time in 2011 this was a throw away arrogant line. Unfortunately despite attacking a Chaplin he has been rewarded with art classes and has painted a large mural of the rovers return on the walls of Stangeways.
Why has this happened ?
So yet again the only suffering is by the family of the innocent victim who have the life sentence.2 -

Just had a quick count up and I know 12 blokes well, who I'd call friends and not just acquaintances (more if I included acquaintances), who have spent time in adult prisons and 4 of my very good mates from childhood were locked up in Dover Young Offenders for a while when we were kids. To my knowledge, none have re-offended since being released. Theres a couple who have probably gone a bit close to the edge, but none have been involved in the same skulduggery that they were when they went there.palarsehater said:has anyone on here been in prison would be interested to know if the items listed above are given out and how good it is inside.
Whether this study is correct or not, imo prisons aren't only there to stop people reoffending, they're there as a punishment and a balance needs to be drawn. We could go a couple of steps further and close prisons and try and sweeten up offenders in their own homes to convince them not commit crimes again, whether it worked or not ain't the point, where's the punishment?1 -

With Bertie(Billy)Smith), Dennis Russel and Billy Wilson no doubt?thickandthin63 said:Prison should be a place where you dread going.If you do get banged up,you should have such a bad time that you wont want to go back.Many young criminals consider a stint inside to be a badge of honour,which in their warped little minds commands respect among their peers.Violent crime is going up all the time,bang these scumbags away for 30 years in squalid and basic conditions,once their mates see a few of them dealt with like this they wont be so keen to offend.I spent many years of my working life in Spitalfields fruit market and got to know many ex cons.The stories they told about life inside would make any of the wannabee gangsters of today run for the hills.I am not saying bring back the birch or 6 months bread and water,but a soft life inside is no deterrant.
Not that any of them were criminals I might add.

No problem - I was basically "caught" with a tiny bit of cannabis on me. I was taken to magistrates court and the mag, bless him thought it was big deal and gave me a £100 fine. I was living rough at the time, didn't pay it, moved to London and was picked up hitchhiking with ID on me. They took me to the magistrates court. he gave me 14 days and I spent it in the nearest Category B prison.ElfsborgAddick said:

There is no real answer to the problem, if there were somewhere in the world it would be doing it. Serious crimes and crimes in general obviously need to have consequences but the reality is most people we lock will be out one day. I for one would hope we try to make these people blend back into society better than when they went into prison. May be some of them will become tax payers rather than tax takers. We should try and find a way to break the reoffending cycle.

not just you so you can hide your parranoia too ..over 40% is fine, just no need to be a pedantic cuntBig_Bad_World said:
Yes, I saw the 'upto' bit but added some factual clarity to the figures being presented as it would have been just as unclear if someone had said 'over 40%'.shine166 said:
Hense the 'upto' bit. Im sure those numbers are still much higher than people would presume... picking apart my points doesnt change the fact that a huge % of offenders are victims too.Big_Bad_World said:
40%-80% is correct.shine166 said:
ok its slightly out for effect, but most have been abused... took me 10 seconds to google just now and read that upto 80% of juevenille sex offenders had been abused.Croydon said:

1 suicide all be it sad although i will hold my judgement until i know what crime it was, on social media there is a LOT of videos of inmates with phones, drugs, takeaway meals, tellys, xbox. i dont envy those that work in the sector paid pittance to do with some of these vile shits.shine166 said:
My mrs is a probation officer, she visits regularly and obviously know lots of inmates.... the 'easy life' line is outdated, 2 days ago the news was telling us about a suicide in woodhill.... I doubt he did that because of too much playstationpalarsehater said:has anyone on here been in prison would be interested to know if the items listed above are given out and how good it is inside.
the ross kemp docu on barlinney ( the big hoose ) the lads featured on that offended because they think they are gangsters looked up one of the people featured he is back inside for armed robbery, the other older chap featured believed that abused children enjoyed it - i would have no qualms dispatching of someone like that, he said he is ill and will re-offend was serving his 4th sentence for child abuse.
99.99% of sex offeners have been abused themselves
Wasn't picking your post apart at all so feel free to put your paranoia away.
Hold on, forgot that we're only allowed to repeat made up info, opinions picked up down the pub or the upper figure of a range told to us by our partners.
Anyway, so long as you're sure.
Glad that 'over 40%' is fine as it paints a different picture to '99.99%' and 'upto 80%'.
I've just bought one of these to not only hide it, but to lock it away. Do you think it'll be big enough?:
I thought Devon was supposed to mellow people out.9
