I did read somewhere that am medium wave radios was allowed, no vhf fm, as you would be able to listen to the screws radio. I didnt think am radio would work in a prison, as ive tried it before, and the signal reception is crap, because of the thick walls you have in jails. I would much rather have a radio, than have a tv in my cell

My grandad was telling me an experience he had back in 1978 when he was 21 he went on holiday to Scarborough with myand he went to the pub for a night out and got into a fight with a drunk guy who punched him but got knocked out as self defence and when he got into the prison cell he told me that when he was trying to explain one of the officers got in his face and when he told him to back away and give some personal space the guard slapped him on the face and told him if he carried on he would punch him and break his jaw luckily he managed to keep his calm and nothing escalated but hearing his experience the Police back then were absolute Bullys and Just Careless which is crazy, times have changed alot but if that was me i would've lost it.

As a young man from 1975 to 1980, I'd spent over 4 years of it in prison. DC, Ashford Yp, then the big house Wandsworth. Obviously, I was a shit criminal kept getting caught! So this film & similar are so familiar to me. But almost every screw I met was decent & respectful. Even in Wandsworth, where it was very much an 'Us & Them' scenario. Dare we lay a finger on them? And they came at you in force. But we all knew that anyway. The misery of prison, emptiness, and sheer powerlessness were excruciatingly painful. It's even worse if you had a girl/wife on the out. Being banged up, especially Sundays where every minute seemed like an hour, every hour was like 10. When I was finally released 2nd Feb 1980 the very last time, I swore I'd never go back. And I never have. Freedom is priceless.

I did the secure unit tour in 81, refused to go to school, kept fighting with old bill and everyone else pretty much, got driven out by an abusive father until they nicked me and refused bail pending care order, Latchmere, Stamford, Orchard, even a two week locked in at Shirley Oaks, Feltham and Ashford refused to take me as did Godstone but a place came up in Redhill's secure himax unit and so began 3 years of hell, well 2 years as the last year was in the open house and no more beatings, no more handcuffs and shut off from the world and got hooked up with a local hard family bird who kept me sane with earthly goings on. I was terrible too, whenever I got sent to a new place I eyed out the biggest lad and the biggest screw and I went for 'em, always went down fighting being a well practised Millwall firm youngster I was used to a scrap then on isolation until they found a new hole to stick me in. One thing to add is Redhill had a curious attitude in the staff, we were taught how not to get nicked, I kid you not things like damage less entry into motors using a bit of windscreen wiper, this rogue of a screw/teacher he taught us about locks, cars, even how to get into drums without setting off alarms. He got sent down himself as he had a wheeze of using his truck and trailer and hoiking away broken down cars found unattended on the A23 and M23, taken to a mates yard and stripped, well he did an old bills motor and they went after him big time and prison service mattered not a bit lol As for me, did a couple of spells in remand case dropped, did a bit of military nick for whacking an officer before kicked out but have kept my nose clean so to speak and now chasing sixty fairly well behaved these days although can still kick a cretin round a car park the tough south London estates always with me for a scrap hehehe

Although some of it might be "for the cameras" there was an element of rehabilitation-mindedness amongst a number of the staff. I wonder how much of that exists today. Resources will be the biggest problem, & modern box-ticking government style. Being deprived of liberty is the punishment, added brutalisation, chain-gangs etc makes it so much worse when they inevitably have to become "our future neighbours". Europeans do all this so much better & have less repeat offending

I was a young offender in 1977. While in prison waiting to go to borstal one prison officer told me he would break my legs if I caused the night officer any more problems (childish noise) and then in borstal two physical education prison officers all but told me that they were going to kill me when they had the opportunity. I was 17 and weighed as much as a wet loaf of bread. The film Scum epitomised the prison officers I experienced and it reflects the ignorance of the prisoners, the staff and society at that time. (EDIT: Just to be clear. I deserved the sentencing I got. But myself and many of the officers reflected the ignorance of the time.)
