    I feel HMP should hire guys like this to talk from the heart to trainee prison officers. Even if it’s just on a consultant basis. Imagine starting out in this career and sitting in a room with this guy telling his story from the heart. I think it would be enough to prevent at least some folks from making the wrong choices. Anyway, as many have said before me, I wish him only the best going forward. He’s paid the price. Don’t let life break you bud. Edit: I originally commented while still watching. Glad to hear HMP have actually approached him.

      Its insane. They are so so manipulative. I worked in a kitchen and there was so much competition to see who could make me fold first. Sex, drugs, phones, outside contact. Luckily another inmate let me know they had a bet, plus multiple family members have been in for 20 plus years, (aaand my type of guy is more of an acoustic guitar player so i don't really have an attraction to any of them) That didn't surprise me but what surprised me was how well they knew me despite the fact that I tried to be the same with all of them. If i had a bad day, they knew no matter how bad I tried to act like i was okay, they that i was upset. THAT creeped me out.

"Can't do the time; don't do the crime" that doesn't mean that inmates should be treated inhumanely. British prisons can be very tough. Many inmates are locked up for 23 hours of the day.

      Yours is probably no different than his experience, why not give him a call. Start a group that might be the start of something better going forward. Suicide is a way out but it's final if your lucky. You could be left a cabbage in a hospital bed if not successful. Imagine the only thing working is your mind and you have thirty years of that ahead of you with no way out. Trapped in your guilty mind rewinding day after day. So easy it can happen, that's the gamble with suicide. Listen learn avoid. Good luck. 👊☘️

Versus HMP corrections officers going up to 26-27k roughly after a year or couple yrs? UK prisons aren't 5x less dangerous or stressful but get five times less compensation ? Genuinely curious ...

    This is very close to home for me as I found myself in the same situation last year. No one will ever understand how stressful working the landings are unless you actually do it. Any other issues in life you have while working as a screw get magnified and snowball into something worse. I did my time too and regret everything I did but it gave me a whole life lesson and I’ve come out better from the other side. Respect Lee for speaking out and redemption will come. “None but ourselves can free our minds.” 🙏🏼

I heard and felt true remorse in your voice. You should try to release all your guilt as it will eat you up inside. I hope you read this comment and know that I truly do understand your pain and I can say from experience that it is the guilt that will swallow you up. Focus on the future not the past and hold your head high now. Good luck and god bless you. x

    As a prison officer in the UK I honestly don't understand how somebody could smuggle stuff in, especially drugs know that other officer would have to deal with the aftermath of that. I've been asked numerous times by prisoners to bring stuff in but I've never even considered it. However I am glad he has found redemption and learnt a lesson from it!

    I hope that the prison service contacting him and asking him to help with their training is the positive change that it could be in an area where they are failing. Clearly the prison service need to support officers so that they don't get to a point where they're easily turned, and I hope that participating in something that makes the service better will give Lee the redemption he so clearly craves.
    Lee, you made a mistake that led you down a slippery slope, but you've had the balls to admit it and you've done your time. You shouldn't still be paying for that mistake.
    As a society, we need to be involved more in rehabilitation and not just write people off because of a conviction. Every case is different and every circumstance is different, even if the conviction is the same. Also, there's a huge difference between a single conviction and a rap sheet that's as long as your arm.
    Good luck to you, Lee - & the same to anyone else reading this who finds themselves in Lee's position. Keep your head high - you've got this x

      Should have more support for prisoners too , imagine how many of them feel stuck with crime as an only option due to no work and being shunned from society even if they wish to change, people feel for this officer even tho he did criminal acts and was conscious of it , if a guy on the street did it you only get to hear the fact he did it , you dont get to hear his humanity or how hes in that situation, like you got to hear this prison officers story and see how he's just a guy who made a bad choice and regrets it feels guilty for it , yes a lot of prisoners maybe even most prisoners dont want help like that , some of them do and wanna change but feel stuck , as this prison officer did

      @@connorhehehe1094 No worries 👍 For clarity, I meant everyone.
      The only differentiation I make is based on attitude. To me, it's all about whether someone wants to go straight or not. If they don't, then there's little that we can do to help them, but where I think we let people down as a society is by not giving them a chance to go straight and judging them solely on one mistake, rather than the immense effort it takes to try and straighten your life out.
      I spoke about Lee as he was the example in the video (so was an example everyone had seen), but I have good friends who went off the rails when they were younger for all kinds of reasons. They don't deserve to be judged by that alone. One couple I know had a series of theft, car-ringing, and fraud charges. They also grew up poor, became teenage parents, and only had one living parent between them by the time they were 21 - & that parent was an addict. It's not at all surprising that they were easily led down the wrong path - they were young, desperate, and had no guidance. Now, they're on their feet, have been totally legit for years, trained up to get good jobs and are showing their own kids a better path. Without support, intervention, and *real* rehabilitation, the cycle would have continued. Instead, their kids are amazing and their daughter is about to become the first person in either family to go to university.
      Rehabilitation saves lives and betters society as a whole. My friends got it because a group of us stepped up and helped them, but not everyone has that, which is why it's so important that the justice system offers better support. Makes me angry that so many people are denied it - because helping people not to reoffend doesn't just help that individual, it helps all of us live in a safer world.
