The biggest reality check for me as a young man was,when I did 3 weeks in jail,never been back and not ashamed to say,,I ain't made for that craziness!
I was in the Police for around 15 years. I've watched a few of your videos and really like them. I think they're well presented and this one has some really accurate information in - at least from my knowledge, having been in and around prisons in a professional capacity. I sometimes hear people say how easy prison is, but from what I saw, both from remand prisoners, those serving sentences and those getting released, it's anything but easy. Unless as you pointed out, your idea of "easy" is having a 14 inch tv, having a locked door, stuck in an old victorial cellblock, being given food everyday that you have no choice over, stuck with the same people all day, told when you can and can't go out, eating with plastic cutlery, being escorted around like a child. As you say, it's a waste of life and rather than being outside living, you're stuck inside wasting away.
Even one year locked up would change a person for the worst probably. 12 months would seem like 4 years probably. I can’t imagine how boring, dangerous it would be.
For me, it was when the door slammed behind me....that brough it home. Great video for newbies Ricky, to give them an idea on how to survive night one.
My first sweatbox experience was going to Walton [liverpool ], I was withdrawing off methadone and being irritated by CS gas fumes that were coming off my clothes, the funeral of princess Diana was playing on the radio , it was my first time in an adult prison , what concerned me the most was not how other prisoners were going to treat me , it was that I knew I was going to suffer a severe withdrawal [no methadone inside back then ] .
@@steevispencer8079 Yeah Doncaster like Walton [Liverpool] must have been among the last prisons not to offer at least a methadone reduction [b , they new they were letting you suffer even if like me you got a prescription of methadone outside ,you would get nothing inside eve, I think in 2000 they started letting us have a couple of sleepers but after a few days they would just start reducing them just as your withdrawal was coming to a peak horrible , `orible
Absolutely miserable, I could never do time, be a menace to society, this is what the consequences will be. Waisting time and life in there. I’m not massive people person, I think some people are disgusting and filthy and have no self respect. I could imagine it being 100x worst in there. Thank you for the awareness!! better than some of the prison stuff going around at the moment on the internet.
When I completed my apprenticeship I naively applied for the Irish prison service thinking that it was an honorable profession with the view of imparting my newly acquired skills. In hindsight I'm glad I didn't even get an interview 😅
Done 3 months in HMP hindley YOI at 17 years old back in 09, felt like a holiday camp, nice and clean other inmates mostly chilled, even had a xbox in my cell after 4 weeks. After 5 or 6 weeks being in there they brought xbox 360s onto the wing and we could play that during social time. Honestly think I had a better 3 months in so called prison than I would have had I been on the out. I've not been back since met a good woman who helped me learn the error of my ways.
I did 6 month in durham in early 90s during the riots and that was intense, kept my nose clean till last week when i flipt out and really hurt someone, barister told me today the bright side is 2yrs, am 62 and brickin it
Another Sheffield lad here. @4:20 that photo of the yard reminded me of when I landed at Armley for the first bit of my 12. What a dump ! Getting transferred to Perry Road Notts for my first CC appearance was luxury in comparison, and Notts is even worse than Donny. October 8th 2011 to October 9th 2017. 2193 days in Armley, Notts, Donny, Lindholme, The Lakes and Hatfield was more than enough for me !
I don’t care who you are or how tough you are, the first time you go to prison your scared but, once you get over that fear that’s it brother, if you know what’s good for you just keep your head down and keep yourself to yourself, don’t stitch other inmates up and your be okay guys.
Here in texas prison system is very harsh. Here in USA especially in Southern states especially in texas heat in summer extreme 100-115f not including heat index yes it's on bews.. there's no ac is some or most prisons. Inmate on news has stated it can get up over 100f and higher inside
We all make mistakes in life even the grave ones too but if anyone ends up in prison DO NOT GRASS ON ANYONE JUST KEEP YOURSELF TO YOURSELF and you will be ok and stay out of trouble too
I might be going soon due to accumulative low level criminality (cybercrime lol) and that's exactly the attitude I was going to go in with. Respect people, no hostility and I see and hear nothing. I'm a small lad so I might be unfortunately by default thrown on a vuln wing which I hear are full of sex offenders who I might actually have more of an issue with. The possible hour out of your cells I'd most likely only use for a shower and maybe take a shit in that time if the dudes out the cell so he don't have to smell that shit or at least it's not too bad most exercise I'll ask the guy I'm sharing with if it's alright with him that I do some stuff there, tell me if there's any other pointers I need lads
@@remmujone just be yourself are kid and you won't get put on a nonces wing you will go on a normal wing you will be fine keep your chin up and you will be good
I watch all these videos on jail and what to avoid yet jail to me is home and it's the outside I don't understand, rules don't borrow don't rat don't steel and if your in a gang always say so and never ever rob someone and last always always admit what your in for, prison is a social media platform everyone will know anyway and if you have any worries ask to go to a protection wing. Most of the time if you borrow a radio or phone it will be broke they know it's broke but will blame you man and bill you a fortune, try and find a friend but not a close friend just someone to mix with but don't trust him but nothing worse than being a loner in jail it's okay if you can handle yourself but I've seen guys on there own and become victims to the others guys and never trust screws they will help the people that bully you and even turn the cameras so it's not seen I've seen this many times, best advice don't go jail but you can do your time in peace if you don't get caught up in all the drama.
Will never forget when I landed in feltham in 2011, I was given a smokers pack and I was put in a cell with a tv. I rolled a burn, turnt the tv on and thought “this is that bad” little did I know 😅
Great video! This should be shown around every school. Back when I was at school. We had a prisoner come in and talk to us about prison. Scared the shit out of me 😅
What would you say life is like from a screws point of view inside Frankland? Love your content and hope it encourages people to a life away from crime. Keep it up mate.
Thanks, I would probably say it's easy work as they don't do much apart from unlock and supervise but the prisoners aren't as demanding as cat.c and local jails
I call such a vehicle a Black Maria, as that was what my late father called them. When I hear some people calling them taxis, it really makes me cringe. A taxi is a vehicle that I might book myself onto if the bus drivers are on strike and I have a long journey to make that is too far to go on foot.

I remember 1st time in young offenders, it was scary at 1st, we used to be on a landing were ud get governor's inspection, folding your blankets in perfect squares & cell got to be spotless, if not then the hole landing gets punished in a way so you're public enemy n.o 1, horrible time, i found it so much harder than mans jail.
Hi Ricky I have found your videos interesting and informative. I have been to Magistrates Court today. They want a pre-sentence report. I have pleaded guilty to common assault. I hope it will be a fine or community order once I get to sentencing. I was worried about going to prison. Keep up the good work Ricky, hopefully by watching your channel people will stay out of trouble. All the best.
I think your videos are amazing Ricky. I have never been to prison thank God. If only you keep one or two from prison your videos will have been a success. Keep up the good work . Your doi g a great job.
I had my first SweatBox experience from Slough to Bicester Bullingdon Prison second experience was Bedfordshire prison HMP I adapted very fast don't take anything for granted 2 days are the same unless you fuck up and talk shit tell lies steal borrow and make promises you can't keep Play Your Cards Right the screws actually ok with with myself and people on the Spur 2 Wing managed to get into this kitchen servery for a couple of weeks and then I was transferred to the main big kitchen where you can cook your own food on a daily basis on the flip side you gotta keep everyone happy which makes your sentence much easier turn the blind eye to what's coming in none of my business I had nothing I see everything but you got to keep your mouth shut fast forward 27 years life is definitely different prison life is different in 1990 compared to now don't pretend to be someone that you're not in prison what goes around definitely comes around just grateful they had a Band of Brothers who could sit down and talk about Alcoholics Anonymous and personal problems were used to sit together we all look back now was it worth it compared to the prison in Mexico or Thailand HMP in England can teach you a valuable lesson if you're prepared to learn
I did get the sweat box it must have been a busy day at notts crown court we got a 52 seater bus straight to hmp Lincoln did my time turned my life around never going back to a hmp again
I have a question - are we allowed to write letters to prisoners serving sentences or on remand? if so, are the limits to what can be discussed or can we get I trouble for this somehow?
For years the only vivid realistic type dreams or better said nightmares have been incarceration dreams where I wake up in sweats and fear for a minute until I realise I'm not, its mad that I've had ones where I've been in american jails and British all so different each time but each time it feels lucid like it reality where I'm looking over my shoulder with the impending feeling that I'm stuck there for years now with no way out. I've had over 10 of them but appreciate that was more than enough to keep me sensible out there in real daily life.

Hello Ricky, can you make a video on the body weight exercises you would do throughout your day in prison please? Full bodyweight exercises, with reps included. Thank you, very interesting videos. Sincerely Guy.
I can genuinely say the biggest adjustment for me inside was simply the food. I got carry out for as long as I can remember before HMP Durham and realising that a chippy or Indians or Chinese or pizza was totally off the cards for the foreseeable hit pretty hard. That’s not to say the food inside wasn’t any good mind… but there’s a simple pleasure in leafing through a takeaway menu on your sofa and picking the gear you want and cracking on BGT. (We could still watch BGT in HMP FYI) All the best, Marty (Block F)
Hi mate. Loving all this content. Hoping you can help me with another question lol. If your cell mate has drugs in the cell and the cell gets searched whats the best way to deal with that? Would you just say they're not yours or would that be grassing him up? Like i said before i might be heading that way and every bit of advice is really appreciated. Cheers
When I was last in (been out since 2019) I was out in with a woman who'd never been inside before. I had a parcel, baccy, lighter etc. She was petrified as she didn't use but I was respectful to her and did it in the shower ( We had shower in our cells) I told her IF anything happens to keep her mouth shut, & act clueless... Her reply was "I don't know what you're talking about' as soon as she said that I knew she could be trusted..... We are still in touch today. 👍☺.
I can't believe this m8. I I haven't done bird since early 90's...there was no telly's or nowt an you mentioned fones in cells... Wtf?? I can't get me head round this m8. 🤣 Do enjoy Yr content like marrer. 👍
I been there detention Centre long story Made no sense Had wrong person Got out in days then Put me mental hospital Drove me insane out bail Thought was terrorist somthing Made no sense whatsoever
3.57, he says, prisoners throw out rubbish into yard, less than a minute before, when speaking of cell, and cell m8 having a crap, he said you have to inhale it as window don't open... So, I'm confused, does, the window open or not. Because you said it don't, then it does..... Good video BTW, like the way you go through the scenes, and giving the heads up on what to expect however, Need re assuring on the window situation 😂
I'm mid 60's now so hopefully I wont ever have to endure this type of soul destroying, miserable degrading squalor but thanks for the heads up and hopefully one or two much younger typical 'potential candidates' let's say, will see this and think ''Fuck that, maybe leading a more crime free life is what I want to do'' Cheers Ricky bud.

Well, I suppose there could be some advantages for some. For example a recluse/hermit who didn't want to go outside. Lived a life indoors anyway. Providing they got a single cell. They would have their own space, plus free roof over their head, free food, no bills to pay. However, if having to share a cell with one or more others would be hell on earth. Especially if it's others you can't get on with. Would be a bit like marriage really, except no intimacy at all. Just that as they say there could be some positives to the negatives. Depending on the person, and situation.
Ricky, can I suggest you re-film your report? this would be good to be used at schools/ Colleges. if you could re-edit the report and beep out the swearing am sure these young teenagers who wanna be Gangsters see your report, this could deter them from thinking about a life of crime? great report and very interesting seeing the realities of life behind bars.
When your put in the sweat box the hand cuffs come you dnt travel with thm on. Its not as bad as your making it out to be whn your getting booked in. Have you even ever been to prison??
Back in early 2000s just as the sweatboxes came out got took in one from central London to Glasgow on warrant. Bar L was a welcome rest after that journey 😂 They used to fly you up don't ask how I know. I was a twat in my youth upto 30s. Been out 15 year now never again will I set foot in any nick

So are you in the cell 23 hrs a day if you are sharing
Got it easy these days prison in the early 90s was horrendous
Brilliant review brother ! I hope the youth of today take note .
I can genuinely say the biggest adjustment for me inside was simply the food. I got carry out for as long as I can remember before HMP Durham and realising that a chippy or Indians or Chinese or pizza was totally off the cards for the foreseeable hit pretty hard.
That’s not to say the food inside wasn’t any good mind… but there’s a simple pleasure in leafing through a takeaway menu on your sofa and picking the gear you want and cracking on BGT. (We could still watch BGT in HMP FYI)
All the best,
Marty (Block F)
Hi mate. Loving all this content. Hoping you can help me with another question lol. If your cell mate has drugs in the cell and the cell gets searched whats the best way to deal with that? Would you just say they're not yours or would that be grassing him up? Like i said before i might be heading that way and every bit of advice is really appreciated. Cheers
You either both keep your mouths shut and both get reprimanded or he owns up to it or you pay someone to say they left it in there
@@Behind-the-bars-tv cheers mate
When I was last in (been out since 2019) I was out in with a woman who'd never been inside before. I had a parcel, baccy, lighter etc.
She was petrified as she didn't use but I was respectful to her and did it in the shower ( We had shower in our cells) I told her IF anything happens to keep her mouth shut, & act clueless... Her reply was "I don't know what you're talking about' as soon as she said that I knew she could be trusted..... We are still in touch today. 👍☺.
& btw if your padmate has any sense he won't keep his stuff in the cell. I always kept mine 'hidden' 😉😉😉.
grass the fucker up. dont do time just for some mug.
I can't believe this m8. I I haven't done bird since early 90's...there was no telly's or nowt an you mentioned fones in cells... Wtf?? I can't get me head round this m8. 🤣 Do enjoy Yr content like marrer. 👍

I was 15yrs n 3days old 2YR 9 MONTH 1St Sentence. I knew shit was real ice just been 15 again. Mad as Toast Bro. Safe my G
👍👍💯
I know boys doing 23+ year 24+ year 25+ man 3 years is lightwork bro
This sounds easy. Doing bird like this would be easy for a hardcore roadman like me.
3.57, he says, prisoners throw out rubbish into yard, less than a minute before, when speaking of cell, and cell m8 having a crap, he said you have to inhale it as window don't open... So,
I'm confused, does, the window open or not. Because you said it don't, then it does..... Good video BTW, like the way you go through the scenes, and giving the heads up on what to expect however,
Need re assuring on the window situation 😂
I'm mid 60's now so hopefully I wont ever have to endure this type of soul destroying, miserable degrading squalor but thanks for the heads up and hopefully one or two much younger typical 'potential candidates' let's say, will see this and think ''Fuck that, maybe leading a more crime free life is what I want to do'' Cheers Ricky bud.
Cheers mate 👍 💯
Looks like a 5 star hotel compared to the prisons here in Bangkok Thailand........
Have you been in the prisons in Thailand??
@@Behind-the-bars-tv no never thank God!!.. I think it's about 40 people to a cell sleeping on the floor head to toe..... No cha ce of a tv😂😂.. Or even an itchy blanket......
@@AjahnMun I can imagine it's a hell hole 💯💯
Bet the blankets don't get washed much😫☹️
I'm facing my first time in prison later this week after getting into a fight over drugs and being with the wrong crowd, as a guy with aspergers syndrome im scared I'm gonna stick out like a sore thumb and get murdered.. :/
did some time in medomsley in 1979 us boro lads and you geordies got on pretty well.......did a short one at low newton when the female nick was where frankland is now.
Is this true mate?
When I watch prison documentaries about uk prisons.In mates are always socialising.
Standard brown trousers issue
At the start of the video I was like show us the inside of the sweat box.
Then I realized it's background drops🙄
😂 this is so so true mint video mate
I was in rikers island that place was horrible they set me up and locked me up the devils
Love this video Ricky haha
Haha cheers mate
Well, I suppose there could be some advantages for some. For example a recluse/hermit who didn't want to go outside. Lived a life indoors anyway. Providing they got a single cell. They would have their own space, plus free roof over their head, free food, no bills to pay.
However, if having to share a cell with one or more others would be hell on earth. Especially if it's others you can't get on with. Would be a bit like marriage really, except no intimacy at all.
Just that as they say there could be some positives to the negatives. Depending on the person, and situation.
most people I’ve seen say prisoners like a hotel five star or do people just windy you up
This is brilliant
i was in winchester prison and that was a dirty prison
Top vid mate
👍👍💯
Ireland!?
Are you allowed to shave in prison?
Great video bro 👍ohh the memories 😂
🤣🤣👍👍💯
Takes getting used to as having a shit next to your cellmate in such a tiny enclosed space is hell on earth.
Upper hell I agree with you
Going for a number two
In front of another human being Is a horrible experience 😫
Ricky, can I suggest you re-film your report? this would be good to be used at schools/ Colleges. if you could re-edit the report and beep out the swearing am sure these young teenagers who wanna be Gangsters see your report, this could deter them from thinking about a life of crime?
great report and very interesting seeing the realities of life behind bars.
Cheers mate, yes I can do that 💯💯
Yep I remember them times very well ...lol
Just read Jerrfrey Archer Prison Diaries or watch Porridge
That’s if your cell mate speaks English.
When your put in the sweat box the hand cuffs come you dnt travel with thm on. Its not as bad as your making it out to be whn your getting booked in. Have you even ever been to prison??
Watch the channel 5 documentary of last week, you'll see I've been
Back in early 2000s just as the sweatboxes came out got took in one from central London to Glasgow on warrant. Bar L was a welcome rest after that journey 😂
They used to fly you up don't ask how I know. I was a twat in my youth upto 30s. Been out 15 year now never again will I set foot in any nick
💯💯
@@Behind-the-bars-tv ever thought about doing peer support work with young offenders? I think you would be good at that, I thought about it towards end of stretch but did the listeners thing and that battered my nut, I doubt I would have patience with YO's 🤣
I would say three to a cell the ways it's going 😅
