Morning

 

I'm off to Dartmoor at the weekend, so the weather had better improve !

 

nice up here mate

 

Is the weather so important

 

Where's that fella ?

 

Not sure what would be worse if you had to do bird

Being in a prison in an urban area where there's no countryside to look at

Or being in somewhere like Dartmoor, where you can see the beautiful moors, ponies, dramatic landscape etc. And not being able to access any of it.

 

Strangeways

 

Ask Sucky

 

Had a mate who was in Belmash (the outer low security ring) for two weeks.

He said the worst thing about it was that he could see a house where he scored his weed from and couldn't get to it

 

My dad could hear the crowd when we beat Boro 5-0 from Wormwood Scrubs. Good times. At least that’s what he said but he does lie a lot.

 

Prisons don't really act as a deterrent to a lot of people. Remember from my time working in the NHS and various street projects, some people would deliberately commit crime so that they'd end up back inside as it was what they were used to. Gave them a roof over their head and a hot meal every day. The outside world was just too tough to deal with. Really sad state of affairs that.

For me, the idea of having my freedom taken away would be enough to prevent me from doing anything that would end up with a custodial. Could not live like a caged bird. I'd go ****ing loco.

 

South Derbyshire / Staffordshire border

 

Me too.

I think that was one main reason why the great push, to get kids in to foster homes and away from children's homes, kids were institutionalised from an early age and prison had less effect on them and a much less deterrent than children from a stable home

 

It’s a great opportunity to focus on the gym at least.
