thanks for all the kind comments cheers!

This guy was a screw in forest Bank. I hate screws but this guy was safe . Used to bring a karaoke machine in on the wing at weekend.. always showed me respect. After 10 times in jail this guy is the only screw that was decent. . .show him respect because deserve it bro 🙏

Great video. Nothing beats listening to a proper good bloke telling truthful honest stories. Top man

Good to see you laughing. My dad was an officer for 30 years in Chelmsford. I’ve learnt more about the job in your videos than I ever did from him. I guess he didn’t want us to worry. Good man Sam.

"And the Driver. . .well He's just there to drive really." 😂 Stop it Sam, gave me the giggles that.

I spent over 19 years in the NI Prison Service, i can relate to your stories. There were times my arse was twitching in situations but when things calmed down you were able to have a laugh. Hospital guard on killers was always an experience, we were armed so taking no chances. Glad to be out now, definitely the job changes your perspective of life.

Really good story Sam,had a similar funeral escort myself, coming out of the crem. Chapel the prisoners friends wanted us to take him to the pub. The prisoner insisted we get in the van and off we went. As we were driving away the prisoner suggested to me that he didn’t want to go for a drink with his friends because they were a bunch of alcoholics. My mate and I nearly fell out of the van laughing.

Orreight! Really appreciate your insights as a screw. As a paramedic who ended up working in Manchester and Salford I've been in Strangeways and Forest Bank many times, and had prison officers accompany me in the ambulance to Salford Royal or North Manchester General. Now, this didn't happen to me but I was working that night. You may have heard about the incident. A con got attacked one night in Forest Bank. The prison nurse wanted him to go to hospital so an ambulance was dispatched. It was crewed by two young females. The con was double cuffed in the back, on the stretcher, paramedic in the back, two screws in the back, screw in the front passenger seat and the EMT was driving. They got about halfway up the road when cars came out of side junctions and blocked the ambulance in. Now, I like to think if I'd been driving I'd be using a 5 ton ambulance as a battering ram but I've never been in that situation. Anyway, some bloke in a bally put the windscreen in with a bat whilst the other lot ripped into the back of the ambulance and threatened the screws to let the con go. It was all a set up, he'd got a mate to bash him up so his mates outside could ambush the ambulance. He was looking at 20 years and couldn't face doing it. He ended up disappearing and my colleagues were a bit traumatised as you can imagine. They found the bloke eventually in Ireland I think, he'd hanged himself. This was about 10 years ago. A'll si thi!

Hiya Sam mate or Ow Do, I am a 66 year old man and all my life I have been soft and avoid violence, when I have seen violence in the past it has made me physically sick. I think I got this side of my nature from my mother but there you go. I admit I could not have gone to that funeral and done what you did, respect to you. I’ll see thi.

When you said there was two chapels (at the 8 min stage) I thought you was going to tell us you took him to the wrong funeral! Brilliant and informative content Sam. Keep it up bud

I bet you were invaluable when working at the forensic secure units I’ve been in the forensic system and we need more honest people in jobs like that

I just turned a con when my dad passed away,the warders who took me,big Gibby and Rab tippney and some driver who I never knew where on escort duty,when we got to the house the place was mobbed,talking a couplla hundred people in wee streets,we had to park a fair bit away,big Rab came with me to the doorn respectfully stood at the front door,after the funeral these guys gave me some time at a local social club,they guys were great,big Rab always asked after my wee ma anytime I was back in,and she always asked if I'd seen him, dynamic security at its best boss,all done very professional and respectful ✌️😎✌️

Good story glad it all ended safely. An good boy Steven can't beat a nice walk with the dog 👌

Honestly these videos are probably the only videos I get entirely engrossed in!! Dont think ive skipped any of your videos! I love your storytime

FairPlay Sam for being decent towards the guy on the day of his fathers funeral…..unlike myself who was treated like a kunt by screws at HMP Birmingham on the day of my fathers funeral….first I was taken to reception really early and then made to wait ages to the point I was late arriving and only got to see the last 5/10 mins of the service….and wouldn’t take me to the burial 🪦

You’re an unceasing source of amazing and interesting stories. I was there with you in my minds eye. Thank you as always mate. Take care.

Did you ever witness any good/funny moments in the prison? 2 years ago, while I was in Holme House for a brief spell. 1 lad was playing his music and the song Cha Cha slide by DJ Casper, one lad started dancing and doing the moves, then all of the sudden around 40 of us out of the 60 on the wing all joined in along with a couple of the staff. It was not long before Christmas 2019. It was one of those moments we sort of forgot where we were and the staff let us have an extended association and opened up the yard if we wanted to pop out for a bit fresh air.

Mr samworth is a real legend respect for yourself

I’ve just came across your channel. What an absolute lad. I’ve been in quite a few jails up and down the country, and it’s very rare to bump in to decent screws like yourself . I can see what sort of bloke you are I’ve just watched 7/8 of your videos 1 after the other , and you tell your story very well, but it’s the way you put your points across I can see the firm but fair officer in you . It’s a shame the prison service is ruined by the majority of power freak officers you know the sort. Respect to ya mate. Great content . 🤛

I laugh at the most inappropriate times aswell. Always written on school reports. Keep it up Sam & Stevie xx

I couldn't stop laughing Sam - you just described every cemetery in the UK ;)

Great attitude. You’re spot on. Dynamic anything works. Much respect.

Topman , hope your keeping well pal. I read your book last year and must say it was one of the best reads ever. I usually only read sports autobiographys but once i started your book i just couldnt put it down. Keep safe and well pal.

whenever a screw did me a favour or was nice to me I ALWAYS remembered it and thanked them. They don't have to be nice to you. Even an extra phone call or a shower I always thanked them. We had one at hmp leeds who was horrible. i know why. his daughter was a crackhead and so he hated criminals/dealers. He would not even let you empty your bin on an evening. But most 99% were decent lads most screws are human and nice if you are nice with them.

Again brilliant you need to get on TV I've done my fair share inside old school cons ..miss you kind of officers good luck with everything ya looking well 🇮🇲🏍️🏍️🇮🇲

tremendous, ...'''sammy dont leave me'' had me cracking up. rather you than me lad

Great vlog as always can definitely relate to having a nervous laugh always got in trouble at school for laughing at wrong time love hearing your stories always brightens my day and in my opinion shows the human side to prison felt sorry for prisoner these sort of occasions are difficult under normal circumstances cannot imagine what its like For prisoners at least you managed to help him to extent to process things

Thanks Sam...always enjoy your walk and talks, and seeing Stevie running around happy. Yeah...looked cold. Could do with a bit of that down this way, it's going to reach 39c here today. A far cry from going to bed and having a hot brick at my feet wrapped in a towel. We were so poor, people use to brake in our house and leave stuff..!!!! Have a good one mate!

Nice one Sam, again informative, giving us a look from a different point of view. Peace and Love as always ❤️🙏❤️

Good to see the smile back ,, Brilliant story Thank you

You had some balls doing that, but that lad knew you were alright.

Hi mate great story thanks for sharing on your wonderful podcast 👍 Can you give us all an update on how your daughter is doing now please mate as the last I heard was when it all first started bless her and I know I and thousands of others on this channel would love to hear the state of play as of now 🙏 I really hope she is feeling a lot better mate and making steady progress with her health 🙏 thanks again mate

Nice to see you smile Sam hope you're well and you're family are well to , xxx

You're right Sammy, although handcuffed to a mourner is not the best place to be at a funeral, it's better than being in the box!

keep leting the truth prevail keep up the good work sam

Great vlog as always Sam really enjoying the content nice to see you and Stephen enjoying the outdoors.have just pre ordered the Amazon kindle of your new book respect as always Sam.

Great work mate.

I just found your channel from LadBible what an absolute geezer you are, story beautifully told! New sub 👍🏽👌🏽

I'm loving your truths, great way to procrastinate. 👍🙏

Good story sam, i could listen to you all day.👍

Great video nice to see you looking well these days .

Brilliant Sam only wardley cemetery and agecroft cemetery in Salford Sam keep these vlogs coming I love them glad ur looking well mate xx

Love the story sam very funny your description spot on keep them coming

Another great story pal....I've only done a little stretch in detention centre in 1984 (the short sharp shock) and but for 2 screws in there my life could have been so different.. one was the pt instructor Mr Bell a real hard twat that hated police from getting his face caved in playing rugby against the police....but a really top top bloke respected him loads....and the other was the kitchen gaffer (whose name I can't remember) but taught me how to cook and another top top bloke and it's pissing me off I can't respect him properly by remembering his name!!! But the moral to the story is it don't matter what situation your in there's proper good people that leave an impression on your life, and these two people did this for me 100% without a doubt....I'm now 55yr old own my own house and business and I put it down to these two bloke's that made me realise the other road is much better than the one I was on!!! Si thee.

Great as usual Sam and Stephen

This was so funny and truthful. Love these video's.

Imagine the anxiety of that funeral

Really good listen that Sam I could not Imagine how intimated you 3 were, what had this lad done to be there

Great vlog as always sam and Steevie 🐕‍🦺 x

Lol u are fucking awesome Sam, it's one of those things that were not really funny at the time only because of the situation, but now day's when u look back it's funny ass shit. Thank u for giving us alittle bit of your time and sharing with us. All the best mate. I really enjoy the walk & talks. Thanks again mate. 👊🇺🇲🗽🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿👊

It bloody is keld, gud see you bk Sam's

Love your video keep up the good work

Great story as usual Sam, thank you for it. What about older residents who are experiencing dementia? I have met some, but of course they may not even know where they are. How do other residents help them and/or tolerate them ? Best wishes, John the story teller fellah.

Sam, you must have seen some horrible things at Strangeways, yet you still came out the other side. Love your videos. Keep up the good work. ❤

I just love your vlogs so much

How do sam the man . My husband is totaly the same when he is nervous its just one of those things isnt it lol. I love to see you laugh great blog has always keep it up chuck. Xxx

Well done and keep doing what you’re doing.

@2*52 I’m laughing 😂 already

You have a great sense of humor😂

Love the channel

Agecroft cemetry it’s straight facing forest banks entrance ,there’s another in waste .

Thank you for the post. The life of a real Prison Officer is not really showcased. I can understand somewhat how difficult your working life can be. My brother served in the Maze in NI in the 80s whilst serving in the British Army a couple of times. He never talks about it but for two times. It was very stressful there. Not present for anyone.

Good video a gain sam he have been in some places true storey glad to here you take care

Haha top man keep the cardio up pal . im knackerd jst takin the bin out

Me brother was on a prison escort to me Mums funeral! they rocked up about 10mns in2 the service so all eyes turned to the door! I think he had 1 either side cuffed to 1 of em! We had about half an hour with me brother outside one cousin wanted to break the cuffs off with a rock they were great screws great sense of humour & made a stressful day better for everyone around.

love your so honest so trueful vlogs boss i remember the 1980s when i did the run off dc borstel and 3 sentences i must must admit your old school screw !! the lads would of loved you niel as you know back in the day the best screws where always ex navy ex army etc they defo treated you with respect untill you crossed the line !! but it was always about respect both ways regards jamesey

Brilliant

Great story Sam,listening to you from Goldcoast Australia.

Sent you a long message Sam about my 22 years of in n out of 7 different prisons from 15 to 34

Jesus, Wow and Sad. I am a new watcher just watched your vlog today and going back on others. Just about to subscribe once I finish this. I would love to know how being a Prison Officer affected your personal life. Be well. I'll see thee.

I couldn’t help it Sam. I had to giggle 🤭❤️🇨🇦

The cemetery you are referring to is Agecroft.

Really enjoying your videos mate. I wanted to ask you for your opinion on the idea that many of the guys at the top of the criminal hierarchy - the ones that stay around for many years and never seem to get into trouble - tend to be giving info to the law? Basically, there is an idea that you can't get to a high level without having a relationship with the police (or the NCA or MI5 in some cases), snitching and/or having police in your pocket because you have something on them. This is why there are high profile nonces that get away with their horrible activities but the same goes, so I hear, for certain high up crooks involved in drugs, prostitution and other endeavours. Anyway, respect and I'd love to hear your thoughts on this, based on what you've learnt over the years.

Fascinating stuff as usual, Is it ever warm there btw?

Mother sounds pure class. Spitting venom and filthy abuse in chapel grounds at her husband's funeral. Kind of sums everything up really. I bet one main reason he was inside had nothing to do with the fine upbringing and the good example on how to live your life he received whilst being nurtured by her throughout his formative years.

Good stuff THANKS FOR YOUR HELP POOR LADY 🙏 😢 IVE DONE YEARS HITTING FEMALE OFFICER NO,NO!!!! I DO NOT THINK THE REST OF THE IMATES WILL BE HAPPY WITH HIM DESERVE ALL THE LITTLE SHIT GETS THANKS MR SAMWORTH

How do big man 💖 love your little giggles makes me smile 🙂🤭💝💋

Evening both 👍🏻

Worst experience for a screw is getting up in the morning.

Only just start watching you blogs! How do you think covid effected prison life these last couple of years? Staff and inmates?

How do

How do 👍

Topman good cast pal

Agecroft cemetery maybe?

I had a karaoke machine in my cell loved it , But when i asked the govenor for a fruit machine and pool table the prison staff filled me in . you have to try .

when you worked in prison, have you ever noticed people filming outside of them?

Sounds like Agecroft Cemetery

Mr lavene hmp Gloucester was a good bloke.

You're a nice man Sam

Kin Hell. I thought you would have had better protection than that.

The service lost a good un in you Sam. There are screws, and there are human beings. You are def in the latter category. Decent screws, the service usually finds a way to shoot themselves in the foot and lose decent blokes, same here in New Zealand. You would be fine as a screw here, there are a lot of ex squaddies from the UK who work the prisons here and they are by and large the most popular cos they have lived in close confines with the guys from their unit and so have a rough idea how to treat boob-heads, usually funny buggers too I've noticed. I saw one in a hardware store once, he knew me well from the nick and went hunting with an extended family member. He bought two of those push button doorlocks off me that day, I asked him what he was there for and they were about $250.00 back then, they are now fucken $500.00 each. He was ex Brit Army and often started his shift by coming in the wing and saying loudly, "Money for fooking jam this, money for fucken jam!" He died 5 years ago the poor bastard, Sykes was his name so natch we called him Eric, his Mrs was the secretary in the office and even she called him Eric. :) RIP Eric. For what its worth, you were extremely popular with we Boob-Heads and the service lost a good man when he passed.

I’m still 😂 laughing 😂

Jerky Bob the Tosser.🤣👏

Agecroft cemetery I think was it near forest bank ?

Proud Yorkshire man Mr Samworth, are you a west Yorkshire lad?

How do.

Nervous laughter is normal mate.

I know me samworth when I was in h m p manchester

Southern Cemetery
