When I was young I was at the swimming and getting changed outside the lockers because it wasn't busy and one locker swung open with an old scary looking guy playing with himself and tried to grab my arm to haul me in. I managed to struggle away and just as I got away my skinhead neighbour decided to go swimming that day and thank god he did. He seen how scared I was and just asked me to point to the locker and I did. This skinhead with his big doctor Martins on kicked this man up and down the changing room for ages. The man ran out covered in blood half naked and don't know what happened after. But these animals are evil beyond evil. I often think to myself what would have happened to me if he got me in that locker. He could have killed me aswell you never know. Skinhead Bendy I owe you.🙏

Fascinating watching this, my dad was a prison officer and this brought back a lot of memories. My early life (born in 54) was growing up on the Isle of Sheppey in the early part of his career. When I was around six or seven dad was transferred to Blundeston maximum security prison when it opened. A few years later he was transferred to Gartree near Market Harborough in Leicestershire. Although I was young I understood that the prisons were maximum security and held some extremely dangerous inmates. He sadly passed away at 45 when I was just 12 but I remember him being very proud of what he did for a living. As I was so young he didn’t share any of his experiences with me but my mum recounted some of them when I was older….. not a career for those of an overly sensitive nature !

My dad was a “special” for a while in the 80s and it came out that a guy in his 20s was kicking the bejaysus out of his mum and had been for a while. The dad did fuck all and let it happen. One night my dad and the Sergeant, (both ex military), were called to this young guy as he was in the village trying to start a fight with anyone he saw and being a total fud. Dad and Sergeant got him up to the police station and gave him a sound thrashing and told him that if they ever even suspected he was abusing his mum or anyone again they’d break his legs. He spent the night in the cell and waddled home the next morning. He never grassed up and actually went on to sort out his drinking and temper. Dad told me this when I was about 18.

I had to threaten him with a claw hammer to keep him away from me. I leant that day that being a gentle lad working in construction meant that you were going to be violent to keep yourself safe. That was back in 1979, since then I have been very careful to look after any young man who I have had any form of management over.

Anyway the story gets better, he tried to get his fucking grubby hands on another child on our council estate, and her father was a local gangster, drug dealer, pretty well respected etc and she’d told him about it or he was notified or whatever, and him and a few other of his handy mates together, and they marched into his house, knocked the bastard about a bit tied him up and bundled him into their 4x4 and he was taken up the moors and beaten again, stripped and I was told he was buried in a hole up to his nick, and they left him there, put it this way he was never seen again.

"They [the nonces] go through hell here!" Wow! That guy is... I dunno, sympathetic? I just couldn't be like that... Hindsight is a strange thing. When I looked back at my middle childhood, between 7 and 12 years old... I realised that there had been at least three or four separate times when I came close to being predated on and/or sexually assaulted by two or three older individuals in my life. One was a 14/16 year old neighbour who _attempted something_ a couple of separate times but didn't have or take the _opportunity,_ so to speak. Another was a vicar (35-45 years old perhaps?) who ran the younger kids youth club in his big church hall. He also knew my neighbour. I never noticed their advances at the time, and it was only when I was looking back which made me pause and then turn white with shock. Very strange feeling. When that kid was about 18/20, a group of similar aged lads hunted him down after a kid brother of one of them confided to his older brother that he'd done 'something'. The nonce ended up in hospital with a demolished face, missing teeth, internal bleeding, multiple broken limbs etc. His family disowned him, they are a lovely family and just as in shock about their vile son... I believe he ended up in prison for doing what _they_ do! 😐 *Shudder!*

The Irishman at 12:00 is saying he doesn’t think it’s a serious offence at all, in 1980, but society disagreed, roll on to 2024 and we have a movement for M.A.P. that’s minor attracted person, an adult who’s sexually attracted to kid. The idea being that so long as the child consents ( not sure how that’s obtained) and not physically harmed then it’s just another expression of human sexuality. It’s gaining ground because now they have kids deciding in primary school if they want to change gender, and a court will uphold their decision and approve hormone treatment. Well if a child is considered able to decide such a thing then the argument from the nonces is they’re also able to decide on sexual activity. Hence we have lessons now for small children telling them about masturbation and other stuff that a small child has no need to know about. But we have a massive paedo ring in power, from the royals to the politicians to celebrities to music big names and actors, look at the list who went to Epstein island. When I was in jail in 1984 we had no idea who was a nonce, unless someone had some information and made it known, most of us were car thieves and burglars robbers and other stupid shit that young men do. The segregation wing E wing was apparently IRA but officially that wing was knocked down in 1969 (Reading jail) but we ( young offenders) were abusing them verbally as they watched from the locked landing gate ( letting air into the wing next to the yard) while we played volley ball, the screw told us that if we knew who they really were we’d shit ourselves, that they were the real deal. They didn’t shout back. We had a Hells Angel come in after a shooting in the New Forest. He got respect and everyone avoided him. He was only n remand. Walking about in his leather wastecoat. Anyway nonces can’t be cured cos they don’t see it as a crime. That’s why Gary glitter got refused parole last week an he’s 79, he’s incurable and can’t be trusted.

In the 1970s there was a similar group to the one you are describing, called the Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE). They also argued that having sex with children was an act of their self-expression and interest in minors. Thet were disbanded in the 1980s but not until allegations were made against senior politicians for their connections and support for the group, particularly the Labour politician Harriet Harman. These people have been at it and protected for centuries.

Modern American jails are run on a for-profit basis by private companies. The companies make more money from the state if they cram in more people, cut staff, cut training, serve the cheapest food possible etc etc. The "three strikes" policy that some states have (life imprisonment on the third imprisonment regardless of crime) was lobbied for by the private company that runs the for-profit phone system that prisoners get access to. Keep people in for longer = more money. Also many prisoners in the US earn commissary money by working producing utility equipment for the US military = cheap labour to fun the forever-war.
