I was an Officer at The Bank when Sam was there. Basically this is therapy for me. Like you both said go home and drink. It got to the point that I was going to work not to drink. As for speaking to my wife after 120 lads pecking your head all day between 2 staff..... I'm still suffering today. This channel is helpful and is saving my mental heath. This is a true story
After finishing a 6 year sentence ( 4 years in ) on day of release I signed parole papers and went to parole office. Standard conditions ( 1 being i stayed at the nominated address) as I was homeless I had to go to the local center , none of this was arranged pre release, and guess what I was told we can’t help you all we can do is give you a sleeping bag . I called my parole officer and told them to recall me as I was in breach of my parole. After 5/6 weeks I was placed in a homeless unit . Stuff like that gives LTP’s no chance of rehabilitation
@@basilc1018 The government have a DUTY OF CARE for the population as it taxes the hind legs from us iam sure there's enough in the pissing pot to pre arrange prisoners hostels or bed and breakfasts they so commonly use these days as they sold most of the local housing stock throughout the last 30-40 years by allowing council tenants to buy the property they live in at a reasonable price And yes it's helped millions of people become home owners including myself but they took our money and never built any more houses after that! The biggest crisis in this country is homelessness And affordable housing for everyone
That was intense at times. Thank you Paul for sharing your story, I hope your life is less hectic these days. And thanks again Sam for making conversations like this available.
WoW. Sam and Paul another great video, full of truth, humour and an insight to the life both staff and prisoners lead day to day. You guys should do this as a series as I am sure you have loads more stuff to talk about and to tell us the public about. Love the videos Sam's and glad you seem to be back to health now
Sam really enjoyed this part 2 interview with Paul the conversation between you was one of the best I have seen .Paul is a very good speaker and his knowledge is top draw with your easy interviewing style the time flew by.I know Paul’s story is different from lee Davies but connection between you and Paul felt similar to your connection with lee.respect as always Sam.
This was a fascinating vlog. Paul absolutely nails the case for public sector prisons and removing the profit motive from incarceration. If the State arrests you (Police) and the State prosecutes you (CPS) and the State sentences you (Judge) then the State should imprison you (Public sector prisons). Private sector jails should be returned to the public sector. The Prison service should have an increase in starting salary and overall wage scales. This would reduce corruption and increase retention. The old pension restored again improving retention and leading to an increase in officer numbers and experience levels on the landings. Retirement age reduced to 60. There should be a limit on the number of female staff in male jails. This would reduce shagging and it's inevitable consequence of corruption. Safer jails make for a safer society.
Spoken to a few medical staff recently in prisons and its the last job in the world I would entertain. Fair play to good natured humans doing it . 👏 forget the pandemic. Real people real lives
Not to bad lee the older of two dogs been quite ill he is nearly 11 with bad eyes so we have had a few sleepless nights with him the nice vet relieved us of a nice few quid but boy due I love my dog.glad you and the family are ok are you likely to be on anymore podcasts pleased to see that sam,s on the mend.all the best pal.
You guys are a breed of your own,and I mean that in a good way. Not everyone could deal with the day to day stress of not knowing what may coming your way👍
How do sam-aritan👍, code blue from spice everyday on the yard, some of the sights from them spice attacks are scary, worst drug I've ever seen and it ruined some kids that went in drug free for a few months and get out with spice habit. I thought heroin was Nasty but that shit is another level
I’ll tell you what… Every story I hear about what life is like in the prisons exactly mirrors what it’s like for nursing staff in hospitals and care homes. I’m an RGN, 22 years in the profession. It’s been like it since I qualified. I was in a major acute NHS hospital and now work in a complex mental health care home. I spend the first hour of my shift sorting staffing issues. It’s borrowing from Peter to pay Paul and morale is at an all time low. I know nurses all over the country and they’re leaving in their droves. The positions aren’t being filled, never mind the fact that those coming in don’t have the skills needed. Everything seems to come down to money and budgets but they always have money for the managers and yet it’s the people on the shop floor who are the ones who suffer. The only difference between POs and Nurses is that if we are injured, we are told to suck it up and get over it..”it comes with the territory”!! 😠 No wonder nurses, police and prison officers get to a breaking point and end up with major mental health issues. I’m almost at that stage…..I’ve had enough of all the shit and politics. No one listens and it never gets better.
Fantastic, highly fascinating, informative vlog sam & paul. Well impressed 😎. We need more of u two guys in the prison service today- integrity, dynamic security n empathy is so needed but seems sadly lacking. Thanks for part one n two, cant wait for part 3 tmrw mr s . Nicola 👌🥰
Its like these toilets where you have to pay 20p o get in turn style 20p ,A lot of poli,e kant use them they wont fit through the turn style . huffing and puffing and theyve only walked from the van and put all the keebab wrappers in the bin . ,So they just drive round untill they find a disabled toilet in a petrol station or a librairy ive seen it ,
Only made one mistake, did 16 years banging up criminals, only to be stitched up by some ex colleagues. Prisoners weren’t as bad as some of the scummy staff I had to work alongside. 5 years out and loving living a normal life again. Never snitch on your workmates!
If you’ve got weak and or incompetent management with people then your screwed at the operational front line. (no pun intended). Where’s the support from the POA? What are MOJ doing to address the issues that front line operational staff are raising. It’s no wonder the so called prison service has a recruitment and retention problem.
Would be good if you could add comments on screen or something to explain what all these acronyms that are mentioned without explanation.....what's a VP wing?
A very eye opening discussion..May I ask your opinion on the people who are so they claim to be auditing like the one filmed at this particular prison.IMO they are just a nuisance and looking to antagonise the people doing their jobs and it is very disrespectful.I can't wait to see them get arrested table Turner
@@RealPorridgePodcastthanks for your reply.I am very aware of other people's thoughts and feelings.I don't think asking a question is offensive to the people and we are allowed our own thoughts.I have re read the comment and nothing is offensive just an option Please let me know why I am wrong and I will listen to your thoughts and opinion
I treat people with dignity and in a respectful manner. Did the part I said that imo they are a nuisance and antagonist was this the issue?? And in my opinion it is disrespectful when they could get a freedom of information put in to ask for the questions they may have So I am struggling to see how I have spoken or treated you in a wrongful manner.or the part of getting arrested was this the part.I am asking you in a manner that is non verbal or written aggressively.I am genuinely interested in your reply.Any Rod take care look forward to your response
I take my hat off to hard working, professional Prison workers like you two but I can see why you're both out of it now.

I respect that completely but did you expect a hotel or a flat??
That's crazy , no organisation. I hope you're in a better place 👍
Thats shit mate, I hope you've got things sorted out now.

Lol yes helbo
A very interesting interview.may I ask please for the email address thank you
realporridge@outlook.com cheers
Great interview. The Tories are causing so many problems.
I take my hat off to hard working, professional Prison workers like you two but I can see why you're both out of it now.
It must be one of the most frustrating, dangerous and unrewarding jobs you can do - no respect from the prisoners, constantly looking over your shoulder, trying to keep a lid on the chaos, having your hands tied with what you can do and how you can do it due to bureaucracy and red tape, incompetent and unfit colleagues employed to tick boxes and reporting to seniors who are either over-paid robots in suits who haven't got a clue what they're doing as they've come from an entirely business background or obnoxious bully's who act more abhorrently than most prisoners but never face any consequences... Plus you're at constant risk of getting attacked, stabbed, killed, having feces and urine thrown at you or contracting HIV or Hep C all for £25,000 a year, if you're lucky... honestly I'd rather rip my toenails out.
Rishi Sunak is supposedly raising the salary for Prison workers amongst others in this budget but there are far greater issues that they face than low pay as you two suggest.
Enjoy your retirement fellas and keep making the videos Sam, you were and still are one hell of a screw.
