We all make mistakes. Some of us get away with it, others fall hard. The main thing is you never went back. Good for you, that’s character.

@@Daniel-deMerrivale Appreciate your comment.

I remember strangeways when It was a prison. It was not that different than this minus the women and three to a cell. The screws were bastards. Ended up on D1 ( the block a few times). April 1990 changed everything. ( riots) its was a rat hole. Never ended up back ever again. Its a mugs game going to jail.

Always has been, always will be .@@SuperTerry1963

Good for you

Did you know John G Sutton who has the you tube channel Tales from the Jail, he tells some really interesting stories about his time at Strangeways including the Governor Norman Brown, Bootsie, the Chinese moneybox ,and the school bully who worked in the punishment block.

Do you know John G Sutton . He was working there and wrote a book.

@@kenneth2656John started working there in 1975 to 1985.

I served time there 1977 for 17 weeks on D2 , first timers wing I believe, once you got into the prison routine it wasn’t to bad , worked in the laundry one week morning the next afternoons , I also cleaned the visitor’s canteen, lucky really , there was 1 prison officer I remember mr Mackenzie, he was a fair man didn’t judge yeah , I thought they were strict but fair as long as you toed the line Norman scar face was the governor

Der Juden!

Think u should be thinking the other way round....the cats as u call them wouldn't be able to handle it then if went back to been like it was then .

Amazing if you love slums and outdoor toilets

Likely

Prisoners nowadays all act like a bunch of wild animals in the zoo. It's strange to see the prisoners in this film acting like actual decent, civilised people. The shot that really made me feel any type of sympathy was the shot at the beginning where the camera holds on the man with the fluffy blonde hair holding his face in his hands, defeated, alone, without his kids or his wife, possibly crying. It's a poignant shot, very powerful.

​@@jackjohnstone1683you do realise that they wouldn't have shown anything else? The fact they're in jail to start with perhaps gives a clue as to what they were really like

Well…. You wanted an empire, there is a price for everything… you Brit so don’t bitch now

There are archives on the way to the incinerator full of this stuff.

As of 2023, crime is at its lowest ever levels

No it wasn’t… that’s just your racist mind fooling you

The most naive comment I've ever seen on youtube. You obviously believe in fairies too. Amongst many other things hundreds of offences once listed dont even make the crime stats these days , millions of crimes aren't reported crime is at its worst of all today and getting worse all the time.

Ever served a week have you?, if not you’re talking out your arse. These were the days before gangs & drugs took over the prisons. My Bro was a screw & it’s as far a holiday camp as you can imagine. The suicide rates prove that.

@@markdavids2511 agreed. These people who have no experience of prison, yet think they know what it's like inside from reading the Daily Mail or something get on my nerves. Not a nice place to be.

A hotel for emotionally damaged psychopaths happy to remove your face for the slightest little thing. Sometimes the infraction your brutalised for doesnt even exist it was all in a lunatics head. I assure you they are no holiday camps.

"Five star hotels" ? You wouldn't last five minutes in one of those "hotels" sunshine. The extortion, the violence, the screws that can't be arsed doing their job (& for the money they get, you can't really blame them), hotels they are not. You clearly don't have a bloody clue what you're talking about. Muppet.

Really? Looked peaceful, orderly and respectful compared to anything that came later
