Huge amount of respect for how you told this. Everyone who knows something about the Noonans has heard of that filthy nonce and the way you spoke of him getting along with that nasty screw says it all - people like that get off on power over others and bullying. What you saw in that young lad says that you have real compassion and that is one of the things that's missing from society in general but especially in the prison industrial complex or when it comes to people that are marginalised generally. Imagine how many lives have been ruined by monsters like Domenic Noonan and lets not fool ourselves into thinking he was the only nonce in that world - it is full of them. The Krays were at it and set up rent boys for politicians like Lord Boothby. Jimmy Savile was basically a gangster who got to the top by "procuring" for politicians, "royals" etc. and these people are all the same. After his brothers died, Domenic seemed to become a joke and I was genuinely glad to see him get sent down for his disgusting nonce behaviour. Everyone knew about it but no one did anything because of his brothers mainly and even they were embarrassed by him. Remember that documentary they made about him? Even in that he was surrounded by kids. A fckin disgrace and I hope that one of the many poor lads that suffered at his hands gives him a good slashing. I shouldn't say it but everyone agrees that nonces are the lowest of the low, even though organised crime is full of them. Don't buy into notions of "noble" gangsters cos plenty of them are complete dirty wrong'uns and even the names who have been said to be "benevolent" are actually full on psychopaths who get off on hurting others. There are other "Domenic Noonans" out there but they are actually heavy and have their own reputation, whereas he just got away with his bollocks because of Desmond and Damian before him. Even Desmond ended up fcked on crack and getting stabbed on Cheetham Hill and he spoke of what a sh*tty life it was, but Domenic used it to basically groom kids. Not to say that he didn't do work but without his brothers he would've been taken out years ago for being a fat sweaty nonce bully and that's basically what has happened, although he was lucky enough to get put inside before some poor kid who grew up in it went for him. But my main point was to commend Sam Samworth for his compassion and seeing that poor kid's behaviour for what it was. I'm so used to people talking all hard about scum like Domenic and I even went on a rant myself but to see someone speak for the victims is refreshing and I have a lot of respect for it. I hope the kid is alright. A lot of kids had to suffer that monster.

I can always feel the passion burgeoning as you speak Sam and your utter contempt for injustice especially against the vulnerable. I love your channel and I think your message is extremely important

I enjoy watching these videos and you speak from the heart , keep up the good work mate hope all is well health wise and be good x

I saw the Mcintire docu film about the Noonans, Dom Noonan came across as a Peter Kay character from Phoenix nights, and that Codey Lachey was a real piece of comedy gold. 🤣

Sam..the voice of reason,good stuff as always mate👍

Great vlog as usual Sam

How do Sam, always good to hear your stories you explain things very articulately makes for good listening 👍

Great stuff as always Sam 👍🙏

I have very much respect for you sir Thnx for telling you’re storys💯

great vlog as always. i remember when his little suited gang glued their hands to the doors of Strangeways i think it was about 2012 I walked passed it on my way to work.

Sam thanks for keeping it 💯👍, great to hear your podcast .

Keep up the good work Sam, the videos/podcasts are a great listen. It does remind me of the days I was in and out for petty shit, I just wish there were more officers in jails/prisons that were like you. Sadly you know that there was a few wrong 'uns.

Noonan was the youngest of the brothers and always depended on his older and more tougher brothers but when they went he lived of there names , Dominic was nothing and never will be anything,he enjoyed having young easily led chomps who were told they were gangsters because they worked for a noonan , Dominic never gained respect off anyone that's why he tried to bully people , he was nothing

Really like your videos Told very well

Sad story that, look forward to your upcoming interviews.

Hi Sam, I'm from the nxt town from you, I remember traipsing to strangeways when my brother was there, early 90s, just after the riots, half the roof was still missing, my brother, never had a fight, never violent, but sadly, drugs got a hold, I used to go by train, then bus, then visiting centre, then taken in to see him, he wouldn't, T.I.C, some charges, so they put him on the ghost train, it was a nightmare, I'd turn up n they shipped him out, Liverpool, Durham, Doncaster, ect, every other day, thankfully he's been drug free, for nearly 20 years, has a job and family now, but it's hard for families as well, we do the time, but not the crime.

Fascinating 👍 thanks

hi sam i remember donal macintyre doing a documatary on this guy my heart truly goes out to all his victims thank you for sharing your perspective its truly important to highlight and discuss these type of topics have a nice evening

Well said. 👏👏

Great video as always!! Thanks for getting back to me after I emailed you with some concerns the other day👍🏻Kathy xx

I too worked with Noonan at F S but because there were that many big hitters on the wing he never really stuck out.I think he was on the book for a while and he had his little joeys doing all of his running,the only thing i can really remember was he was always doing impressions of the radio which used to wind up the new staff.

Hi, Sam. that point you raise about commanding respect, and demanding respect being two totally different things is something 'd never thought of before. But I see now that you're quite correct. It's like a military commander who knows what he is doing and fights alongside his men, in which case he commands their respect which is freely given. For instance like Captain Winters in Band Of Brothers. Whereas others who demand respect, like Captain Sobel, will never receive that respect from the men, even though they may pretend they respect him.

Your the man sam!!!!.....the voice of comman sense.keep it up fella.

Big respect to you sir I couldn't do the job you did,thank you for your service and helping keep those evil monsters off the streets and again thank you and God bless 🙏

Another belter

All your vids of prison life very interesting just trying to find your books ! Can you point us to the names

Worked in the dispersal system 70s and 80s with many high profile cons never came across this respect thing, only the Irish cons at that time wouldn’t speak to you and went through the higher ranks for their needs, they were never actually difficult to deal with or disrespectful

The Noonans 'documentary' was hilarious ! 😂😂

Class content easy on the ear u are lad

Hello there Sam from a long time follower. Hope all is well on the home front and going forward. Shout out to your puddle drinking side-kick too. New Zealand.

Reflective 👍✅

It's strange to get my head around. Salford lads in jail would smash up nonces but a lot still would shake Dominic's hand if they cross paths with him. People are strange (The Doors) 🎶

Sam respect brother. Love watching your videos and its a shame that you had to deal with what you did but its interesting how much knowledge you have in the prison system. Thanks for sharing with us your stories and experience.

Nice pod Sam

great video Sam

Hi Sam, regarding your last point on this video, did you ever come across Peter Fury in prison, i know he was in strangeways at some point and elsewhere etc, cheers.

He’s a beast nobody should be talking about

My great respect to you for the good and bad of things you have seen in your career, I feel for the lad you were talking about Thank you

That's very true

Great stories of your past. I remember that documentary on Noonan! Didn't his brother become an actor? Nice dumbbell rack! You have built those dumbbell's yourself! I tried to get in the Prison service in 1988. Interview at Sherwood Prison, the officer and governor interviewed me and ripped my cv mistakes to bits so I didn't the job. They said I would not last a day!

Mr sameorth Can you do one on Leicesters warren slaney

Keep up what you are doing, Sam, brother

Sam can you do a video on a young offenders institution on how different they are compared to adult prisons please

Noonan is a Speedo(not the swim wear)

You good Sampson .. I’ve not seen you on here for a while … hope your good mate

Lad out Waterloo Rd I knew used come stay family in Blackpool from Manchester worked for noonan he was in the documentry

He always seemed to be the runt of the litter of Noonans

I worked in forest bank for a window company in the infustries and asked the staff about noonan and they basically said none of the screws give him any shit whatsoever and some was pretty scare of him

You have a good heart sam.

How do Sam. Hope you and the family are good.

Top man Sam, hard days were those prison time, I was on the other end of yourself, Brinsford 97(juvenile), 99 Stoke Heath(YOI),00 Shrewsbury (cons), 01 Stafford(cons), im going to honestly say it was the best time of my life, but to be honest most of the screws were hard but fair, "thats how it should be", God Bless mate!

He’s out now and hanging around the bars and pubs in Ashton u Lyne, Manchester

Fair play saying it how it is...

Come across him a few times in early 2000 when I was at Quay watch he used to drive a volvo marked like a cop car I knew is brother Damien as well I' will tell you a true story one Sunday we had a relief driver in he had pulled up behind Damien on decote avenue Damien got out and pointed a gun against the side grill on the Ford transit he came back straight in we was based in Salford court throw the keys and ran off not nice I saw Damien next day at the butty van he had a smirk and said I was in a bad mood yesterday funny situation to be in I just started laughing we was always told to ignore the noonans turn a blind eye that was from the home office and the council very dangerous family

How do, Sam? I hope all is well ❤️🇨🇦

Proper wrongun loved the young boys

Interesting

Yea,ya can’t lose Damien and Desmond with out replacing them with equally powerful men but obviously he couldn’t do that and strangely sorrounded himself with young lads who’s ability and loyalty couldn’t be compared to his brother’s , he is not the man he tried to claim he was

His pad was always a shit hole in Whitemoor. Like you say though always paid more attention to the YPs

Put me into thinking mode about some of those 'lost or ruined types ' I came across while watching this my friend,,,,,makes us appreciate no matter how hard our own lives are if we take a second to think of others we soon realise we should always be grateful,,,,anyway I think it's time we gave another episode what would this one be episode 8 ??? End up like the fast and furious franchise Haha, speak soon mate 💙👊

I feel as though I have come full circle this past week at work. I wasted around 6 years of my life in jail. Past almost 2 years I been driving a lorry all over the UK working away all week. This week, I picked up a load of safer custody furniture from manufacturer in Spennymoor in Durham to take into HMP Bristol. It felt strange to drive a wagon into the gatehouse instead of being in the back waiting to go into reception. I had to hand in all my phones, electronic devices and cables and even my personal kit into a locker in the sterile area. I got the feeling when I was in Holme House with Noonan that he be the type to prey on vulnerable young lads on the wing

Don’t know if you’ve heard of Hammy the P**f from Glasgow. (Life caught up with him) but he sounds exactly the same as Dominic. Walked from several High Court charges. Ended up with a lifer. Meant to appear for historic charges. A scouser with a terminal illness took the Derry. No more Hammy Martin Farrelly was charged with his murder. Rest in pieces Hammy

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧

The only one of the brothers that had respect in Manchester was damien he was the main man dessi3was nothing but a bully and Dominic was just a wrongun

Soon as i seen that documentary with him and all the young lads with him all the time i said to my mrs he aint right.

I was on k wing sam when u were there dont think u remenber lee fletcher i was doing 7 yrs u were a great officer

Youre alright mate.

Dominic Noonan was nothing after the death of brothers Damien and Desi.

i must add from watching you on Sean Attwood your a true yorkshire man and career you give many years experience to just as in life you take no shit and treat anyone they way you expect be treated good to hear your experiences and ffs it be like being a babysitter of large scale mafia as a job u be so easy found when you leave working enviorement to be manipulated with threats on your loved ones hope you got a skip in your step back Sam n good wishes to you

His brothers was the force he was nothing without them

Hi sam did you come across keith pringle in the cat As

Love a bit of mince

Driving about with a little boy next to him! WTF?

You're a good man, Sam.

Noonan the N.O.N.C.E

Your a top man 😊👍

As others have said he rode on the back of his brothers game and sadly on the back of young lads.

Not much info

Roger and Rodney Kray were the bad boys in the big house.

Did you ever come across warren slaney pal

Sami they’ve all got that look about them and noonan had it in spades

Seen you on a few things pal, didn’t know you had your own channel👍 subbed and looking forward to hearing many more stories…. And Dominic Noonan was a complete bastard from what I’ve heard…. Well his crime report says it all… knobhead, hope your good pal 👌

Noonan was still is a bacon I took him for a boot ride once floating around my 13 yr old son .

I don’t know anyone in the ways bk then that had any respect for Dominic the Beast

0:18 nice 1 sam❤️🇬🇧💯 0:55

Remember walking into a club in Manchester with Dom dressed as a gay cowboy doing YMCA with the man Arron who was the guy who sucked his thumb in the original documentary ,apart from this time he wasn't sucking a thumb although it looked similar....

Very echoey in there Sam!

Top man, telling the truth about that animal

What happened to the young protege aaron he had on the show? He was bragging about dealing had hood up skinhead etc,

Only as hard as you let them be.

That documentary they did about the Noonans was embarrassing. I bet his lad now thinks what the fuck was I doing going into this documentary after his dad comes out of being a nonce I feel for his lad back then too young back then

You should have given us the lowdown on Noonan to start with. Instead of telling us to look it up.

I remember a noonan from hacienda days 😂

Walked past his brothers grave an hour ago.

Sam did you ever come across lee Amos or Colin joyce? Bet there is some good stories RIP lee

Approximately 50 odd seconds in you say and l quote “lm a humble screw the lowest of the low” WRONG you are not at all,the prisoners may think that but l highly doubt the general public do - which thankfully outnumbers the prisoners by millions. Personally l think you do a job that many wouldn’t even contemplate. Many people hate on the police too - you generally find it’s people who are committing crime - we the country would be lost without you guys 👏👏👏👏

Supposed to like his navy cake ,up hill gardener, sausage jockey 🏇 u get the picture !%%

I've never been a priSon officer, i sort of ended up on other side of fence, but i did work in psychiatric care, and some of the residents had history of inappropriate sexual behavior and some of them were just creatures, taking advantage of the British mental health laws, dont get me wrong some had served long stays in monster mansion before ending up with us but it was hard to be around some of the blokes after reading there history, it was a hard job sometimes.

Sam did ever work prison were wee (Paul ferris ) was doin time ??

Dominic norman is a predator
