I spent 3yrs in strangeways for defending myself. I should of let them beat me to death because strangeways was a living hell. All I wanted to do was my time and leave to never return. But I soon realised that I had to fight for my life in there. Unfortunately for me I ended up on one of the worst wings in the prison full of animals that wanted to shank me. I was cut 17 times by 11 different inmates. But you soon learn not to grass if you want to live. When I finally got out I wasn’t just physically scarred I was mentally scared. 25 yrs later and I still have the same nightmares. Stay out of jail!
How on earth can you have been hated that much? Not being funny but I've done 11 different jails on about 4 sentences and only had 3 fist fights in YOI in pre arranged fights nobody ever stabbed me up and I'm talking 11 different jails. I didn't know nobody going in so it's not like I had lads from the manor backing me. Sorry you had bad luck but ffs that's way too much bad luck if so many people had it in for you. There were lads getting done over but they were acting shady like trying to get single-cell locations blagging health reasons when there were waiting lists etc or people stealing or debt heads.
If your story is true, which I find hard to believe in both how you describe what you were sentenced for and what happened while in prison, there was more than likely a reason for it. If you truly went in and kept your head down and was no bother to anyone and kept yourself to yourself there's no way in hell you were hated like that. There's a lot here you're leaving out (again, if indeed your story is even partly true).
22:55 Seems like Ricky Gervaise got his mannerisms from Barry. Im surprised that they didnt explain that before Barry arrived, the prison used to be named Normalways.....
Nostalgia is deluding you into glorifying the past. TV was utterly rubbish back then, there were barely any channels and it was catered to the middle/upper classes. It was just unfunny sitcom after sitcom for the most part. I can't think of many shows I would want to watch now from that time period.
He was eventually diagnosed with BPD and got medication and therapy. He's been released for 15 years and has not reoffended. This is the case for a lot of criminals locked up, they can be helped and treated then released to become a contributing member of society, rather than a burden and danger. Sadly mental health services are not being adequately funded, which ends up costing the tax payer a lot more when people who need help commit crime.
Yeh he was nuts, the type of had you’d fkin die if you got bungled in a cell with, he be whining all day and night and it plays heavy on your mental health just being around that type,

One ex screw said that when he was working the panthers landing, all he used to do was pad workouts like squats etc all day every day, pretty much. The guy was some kind of fitness addict there. Probably distracting himself from his evil demons
Barry is now a catholic priest and loving his life. He takes the alter boys on countryside camping retreats. 😂 I would have liked more Barry time, they should have done a spinoff show.
I went in to buckley hall detention centre rochdale in 1975 unfit and came out superfit with all the circuit training every morning no smoking policy but the lads that worked out on the farm always got cigarettes in
Threatened with buckley hall as a child when i kept running away ( doing a Bunk ) from children's homes, shame really i heard i could drive a tractor on there farm land.
The simple truth here as it is obvious to see, is that most of these prisoners have no idea what they want, how to go about normal life or even express themselves in a rational way. Half were a danger to themselves or others and needed the constant supervision of men who are physically much bigger and more disciplined than them in order to maintain some kind of order in their lives. Why we let "Society" unpick all of this and then paint all prisoners as victims and all screws as bullies is beyond me.
I can understand why Glynn was so annoyed with the welfare officer, who didn't exactly go into the meeting well prepared. Still, Glynn wouldn't have been inside if he'd been a good lad. There's probably a Barry in every town in the land.
Just what I said! Any one to one I organise with anyone, staff rather than prisoners I always read the notes from the previous one, otherwise what’s the point? How do you know what was discussed or what is expected?
Old school prisons were how it should still be! No TV, no smartphones, a plastic basin and a bucket to shit in! Maybe then people wouldn’t want to go back!
recidivism rates in then were much higher than it is now. If harsh prisons discouraged prisoners to return, then the previous 100's of years of such conditions would have worked. Countries such as Norway and Sweden with better conditions with a focus on rehabilitation have much lower reoffending rates.
A real picnic, I'd imagine, with thousands more psychotic fellow prisoners to provide claustrophobic and dangerous company in today's overcrowded, crumbling, privatisation staffed prisons. A disaster area like all of the UKs institutions following 14 years Tory misrule.........but, yeah, apart from that, they've got TVs and mobiles, hooch and plenty of drooogs.
I think you could keep him absolutely anywhere and he wouldn't be able to smile wide enough. He loved it in there. They must be keeping him on some powerful sauce.

The screws back then in that prison were nasty bastards they got away with assaultibg inmates and all lied to cover each others arses and the board of visitors covered up for them also corrupt fucking system
Same in Armley mate When I was on D wing as a Y.O, the screw would take their work boots off and put on a pair of slippers, before creeping to lads pads and smashing fk out of them. They even enabled men like Paul Sykes to rape the some young offenders in Armley. The screws tried to cover for each other but eventually a few dozen of them got arrested and convicted for their brutality, and all but 1 was banned from working on the wings again. The one screw who was allowed to walk THROUGH the wings, but not work on them, is a huge bear of a cunt we all called viking. Absolutely hated, that man, and most screws from this era. The 80s were no better. Lads were killed by screws in Armley, and other prisons all across England, and I hate them with a burning hatred, but a Scottish screw in Armley called Mr Matthews (if I remember rightly) was the one who stood up to the "slipper squad" of rabid screw bullies, and told the bizzies all about it. That man was still revered in Armley in 2012, when I last went, as a visitor. Not all screws are wrong uns, and some of them are genuine decent men, with real honour, but far too many screws in the 80s simply watched on as sadistic gangs of violent screws beat young lads half to death at random.
I agree with you, entirely - I bet those officers were all backing each other up at the detriment of the welfare of those prisoners - WHAT HOPE HAD THEY GOT IN A PLACE LIKE THAT???
What’s funny ?😂😂it’s the temporary diagnostic state during the assessment process when any of the professionals can query the others. Barry holds the record for the shortest bout of Skeptophrenia - the psychiatrists stopped the clock at 00:00:02.

Neither the TV nor the "snacks"-are guaranteed. You can buy stuff with yr wages, twice a week if yr lucky, but if you smoke you won't be able to afford them (or yr burn probably.) The TV is like no TV you have seen and only gets three or so channels. You may have to obtain a piece of wire (contraband) for the aerial. Then you can enjoy discussing with yr padmate (or mates if yr 3 to a cell) what to watch. Btw, you take a shit in yr cell, whether there's people in there or not.

Just don't do anything that'll send you to jail kids!
my god that 'welfare officer' Mr Hall was hopeless! didnt have a scooby about the prisoner Glyn that he'd seen before and asked the MOST stupid questions like 'why do you want a welfare visit from your ill mother?' the staff were all nasty
I’ve bin looking 4 this 4 years,Glynn is my uncle
@@Apostle56 i felt Glynn's frustration at the way he was treated - officious, condescending staff - no wonder he got cranky!
@@Apostle56he seemed deeply troubled, I think he’d had a bleak past
@@chasey2327 yea I agree pal the officer lacked professionalism & humanitarian respect
@@Apostle56how’s he doing now..that welfare guy was a disgrace
