Its not impregnable. Impregnable means you can't get in (as in "she cannot be impregnated"). Inescapable is maybe the right word.

I know someone who done a 6 year stretch. He been to Belmarsh and Brixton. He lost everything, his family, his home, even his kids. Prison didn't break him, he cone out, set a business up, now he has a business worth millions

"Men who will never see the light of day..." while showing a man standing at a window with daylight coming in.

This has to be the best prison documentary I've ever seen, quality content.

The thing is they say they hated prison and it's inhumane but when they are released they commit another crime and go back again? 🤷

Thank you for uploading this documentary Ricky it’s brings me lot of memories when i was in HMP Forestbank and now I’m living thousands miles away from Uk 🇬🇧 and i have lots of respect for the people of England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Terrists should never be released

Thanks Ricky I've been so looking forward to this as i missed it because of work

Thanks for sharing this with us Ricky. A good watch indeed

Smashing it with the uploads now Ricky 👍 Only a matter of time before your channel takes off to the next level 🚀

Another quality post from Ricky I look forward 2 your daily updates so keep up the good work as it’s working mate 😜

Absolutely love the channel m8, love it when I see another quality video from you uploaded. I couldn't imagine being banged up there F that,Take care

Thoroughly enjoyed it - thanks for sharing.

Something to be said for legally terminating killers and pedos lives

Thanks for the upload great documentary

Thanks for the great documentary real eye opener

My heart goes out to all the people that suffered at the hands of these animals

I live about 30 mins from here, wouldn't expect it to be there with all the trees. I also live about 30 mins from the biggest legal weed farm in the UK.

Oh no! They SEARCHED YOU??? Shocking!!! Guess what, most contraband comes in via the “prison wallet” and you’re not special. Yes, you’ll be thoroughly processed and photographed… oh the horror!

Love these documentaries especially ones in my own country, keep them coming mate, much appreicated.

Nice 1 Ricky , missed it on TV.. Hope ya all good Brother 💯🙌

I enjoyed this very much,thank you for sharing... 🙏😊

I grew up not in the troubles but I was 5 when the peace agreement was signed. With it being 25years of it. It was good to learn about them despite the breakout. Thank you

I lived in the village of Benwick for 20 years I saw this built, I could see it from my bedroom window. The prisoners complained about the shadow of the wind turbine.

Keep putting out the good stories Ricky...very detailed and intriguing. It's shows a different side of penitentiary lfe from the other side of The Pond

Brilliant doc this mate. Top work

Brilliant channel....very informative.....

Impregnable? Who would want to BREAK IN to a prison!

Brilliant, insightful documentary.

Paul Massey lived near me! One of his security firm use to do the cemetery near me and nothing got nicked and no graves got destroyed when his firm was looking after it! That’s all I’m gonna say 😮

Bands don't play no more, too much violence down at Whitemoor. Perhaps the place needs a sign above the main gate: "Hell".

Nice one I missed this when it was on tv. 👌 You & you're family have a lovely Easter weekend. 💯

Thanks for this big guy 👍👍😊😊

I lived about 10 miles from the prison and applied for a job there as a nurse in the early 90's . We went to the prison for interviews and it was so daunting .... I decided I did not wish to work there !!!!

Absolutely blows my mind that all the talk about how dangerous these men are and what incredible measures are taken for security but they handcuffs these guys in front and not behind their backs. Very very dangerous.

Sad, is what comes to mind. Smithy, im stoked for you being released, so much better than the alternative. All the best going forward, and I hope you crack it for quid without having to risk your precious liberty. Good luck mate.

The mindset that prisoners should have ANY control is ludicrous 🤯

Thanks brother 👍🙏

If someone is a professional criminal. Why are they inside?

I’ll be strolling around wherever I want today. Might even drive off to the seaside and if it’s sunny I’ll find a spot to sit comfortably in the sun. 😂🤣😂 Ahhhhhhhhh! FREEDOM! Is sooooooooo good. 😂

Keep uploading these very good

Great Video !! Thankyou 😀👍

With the IRA making that ladder type thing, it goes to show that no matter how good the prison is if staff aren’t doing their daily checks in cells which were mandatory when I worked as an officer and having staff so easily coerced into doing what they want to make that escape easier is just insane.

15:44 you say "Northern Ireland, The Republic of Ireland, and other parts of the UK". This is misinformation,. Republic of Ireland is not part of the UK.

Brilliant documentary

absolutley brilliant video ricky nice one for uploading this👍👍noel razor smith his a fucking legend love this guy.

I've spent the grand total of 6 weeks in prison in my life ( I'm 43 years old ). 4 weeks in Brixton as a sentenced prisoner ( a 3 month sentence ) and 2 weeks on remand in Thameside, next door to Belmarsh. One was a private prison and the other wasn't. The difference between the two was crazy. Thameside was the private prison, ran by Serco. It was like a holiday camp!! Phone, computer, television in your cell, along with your own shower and toilet in the cell. Brixton wasn't private and compared to the other place, it was like going back 50 years!! Compared to the blokes on this programme, I was in for no time at all but the difference between the two prisons was what struck me.

I've never seen a better video extolling the benefits of the death penalty.

The IRA are very serious, guns in jail never heard of that before 😮

I also don’t think religion should be at all considered in prison. Everyone wears uniforms, no head wraps, no special privileges for any one group.

James English will see this & want a reunion of all his guests who’ve appeared in this 😂

Wow Ricky..... what a great documentary..... im going to pass it on to a couple of Friends. Xx

Very interesting had me glued.

If you can't do the time, don't commit the crime

Ive visited people in the Bangkok hilton in Thailand, and I'll be honest every prison in England should be like this ,proper time so that won't affend again, I hear to much on media then saying don't care if sent back it's just butlins to the majority,

Dont be a criminal, dont go to prison! Simple yet some people dont understand

No prison break recorded in this prison, not even an escape attempt, is very hard to believe

A piece of crap will be treated like crap. They were there because of what they did. Where is the big surprise?

Nice video keep up the good work mate

Normally avoid these type of docus (Busman's holiday) but you got this 99% spot on.. Regarding Provos this was tried and tested methodology, complain to management over period of time, you know the rest.. Similar tradecraft in IE, but ultimately came up short..Portlaoise Prison..

Cheers Ricky mate, love the commentary 👍, got a broken foot at mo, so great to stock up on!!!! Watching these definitely makes you think 'things could be worse' 😂. Is this the 2nd or 3rd one 🤔. Hoping there's gonna be 5 if they include Belmarsh, even Swaleside and some of the bad B cats. I had a slip come under my door at night bang up from a SO in Lewes to Swaleside, I said, I'm not allowed in same as Co-d, not having a clue where he was. Roughly ½ hour later he came back and said move off. I was good as gold after and about month later got Elmley instead 🎉 😂😂😂 Nice 1 as ever mate 👍🏼

If they destroyed all the furniture during a childishness”paddy” and I was the governor, I would ensure that they lived in that shit hole until they were released from prison. The same as people to do the dirty protests…. you do that, you have to live in it until you clean it up.

Michael/Micky Steele of the Rettendon Triple Murders/Range Rover Murders used to be a customer of mine. I worked at a Towbar and trailer centre in Essex and he used to come in there plenty buying all the parts for the boat trailer he built himself (he and Whomes had extensive engineering backgrounds, MJS Engineering i believe was Steeles company?) That boat trailer was needed to move the boat he used to bring drug loads across the channel. I think we even supplied or possibly even fitted the towbars required to tow the boat trailer. In the book Bloggs 19 it is mentioned about the gang trying to get a towbar for a Jaguar that one of them owned but were put off by the price of fitment, WE used to deliberately overprice Jaguar towbars due to their complexity. So i dealy with Steele plenty of times in the 4 years i`d worked their before Steele was arrested, i never remember Whomes. Steele always seemed like a good bloke, well spoken, older and built like a rugby player.

Royston Vasey is Britain's Alcatraz. you will never leave!

Thing is that plenty of people haven't heard of Whitemoor and only know places like Belmarsh and Wakey.

Pretty tight documentary this. A lot of information and very enjoyable to watch.

Great documentary! Captivated by interviewees experiences & thoughts! Cat A hard time fa real 💯

Being in custody was bad enough as it is. Food was absolute shit, beds were hard as a rock, very small area with very little to do. And that was only for couple of hours! I don't know how people manage being in prison, especially one like this because I can picture it being a hell of a lot worse. Having to share cells with people and showers too!

What does he mean saying that the irish republicans 'believed' we were occupied by the british. We most definitely were and still are.

Liking the documentary

So how did that nice repentant man with 8 life sentences ever get out, and why? I do not appreciate Britain’s low sentences for murdering innocents.

This is 3/4 mile from my house….lovely nature reserve runs alongside the prison, looks terrifying from the outside, hate to think what it’s like on the inside.

My friend. Works in a jail. They check your bank account what kind of house and car you have and what you can afford. , one guard went on an expensive. Holidays and got caught !

Great documentary Ricky lad

Great work Ricky this was really interesting this is the 2nd time I have watched it and it brings back memories of my time in jail as weird as it sounds you do have some good days in prison I'm happy I've sorted my life out now though well I'm in the process still adjusting I need a routine or my life turns to misery 😂 anyway thanks for effort merry Christmas to you Ricky and your family

Great podcast ricky 👍👍👍👍👍

Thank you for uploading this documentary Ricky I have a few suggestions for you ! Maybe make a video on what a 5 man lock up is and why and when it becomes necessary for the most violent of prisoners ? Also can you do a video on how inmates shave with blades and what about barbering services in prison ? How does this work ? Have a nice bank holiday weekend mate Regards

I've always believed when being sentenced for attempted murder the sentences should be higher than for actual murder. Attempted just goes to show you couldn't even get that right.

I'm watching some of these guys on KZfaq but at first I never knew that the criminals who were locked up with celebrity well known people and politicians but a few guys from what I'm watching here have been on the show it's probably on normal TV but I don't watch TV when we have things like KZfaq were you can find anything that you wanna watch or listen to or both great video Ricky brother I might have seen it once before but not all of it man it's interesting real talk bruv

I wonder how these guys stack up against USA prison systems ?

Well this is just a quick one. I was living in residential care for five years because I couldn't and wouldn't live at home. I and many other teenagers would become violent and paranoid because we were living on a knifes edge. Some staff I wish I could see again, others I blame for having a humiliation kink. This is a weird comment I know but the short of it is when I watch prison docs like this I feel somewhat better about myself and can relate to some of the emotional and physical hang ups that come after release. I was never in prison but have been diagnosed with complex PTSD as a result.

Fantastic doco

So i live a 5min walk from HMP Whitemoor, i can see it from my bedroom window! ill be honest this prison must be good because i wouldn't even know its there if it wasn't for the big walls and bright lights :D

If I remember rightly it was a prison officer that smuggled the gun intro WHITEMOOR SSU 🤔

My brother knew Saskia from Anglia Ruskin Uni in Cambridge, he was quite good friends with her and greatly misses her.

prisons are hell on the earth…

What a great documentary

Been in prison for 10 years at hmp feltham prison is not worth the hassle

why are they saying on here sex offenders are in danger in prison? they arent, they are segregated, no regular prisoners interact with them. whatever stories you think you heard they never are mixed in with general population. the only way they ever are is if they apply to join the general population. the general population will never have access to sex offenders in general.

The good Friday agreement is 25 years old today. 11 04 1998.

This video plays out more like a re-enactment than a documentary

does make me chuckle hearing ex con's blaming the prison service for "creating" a heroin problem by stopping prisoners smoking cannabis.

Ricky Respect as Usual

Love this ❤ x

12 February 1996 An auxiliary prison officer was last night being held hostage at knifepoint by two inmates at top-security Whitemoor jail - the scene of the IRA break-out two years ago. The officer was seized at about midday as he patrolled the Cambridgeshire jail and late last night the prison remained on a state of alert as negotiators sought his freedom. The identity of the two prisoners is not being released, but one of the prisoners is said to be a high-risk category A inmate one of them was a friend of mine

The build up to this I got my popcorn ready 👌

I know the bloke that had the brickwork contract for Whitemoor, surprised it hasn't fallen down. Remote fens, its on the edge of the town of March. My sons football team used to play on a pitch next to the walls when they played over there.

There would be a lot less prison overcrowding if the death penalty was still in place.

Very well produced documentary: factual, informative and devoid of glorification. The ex-prisoners, particularly Smithy, could probably run a prison better than the Prison Service. No one is worth giving up on and throwing away the key. Shame the same effort wasn't put into rehabilitation of the ordinary criminal as was put into deradicalisation of religious terrorists.
