Did you know that hundreds of inmates took the Scottish government to the European court over “sloping out”? The practice was deemed a breach of their human rights and compensation was paid. I’m unsure of the year, maybe late 90s or early 2000s. Cash compensation of various amounts was paid into accounts of serving prisoners to enjoy on release. Typical award was £500-£700 per month they had to endure it. The same cells are still in use to this day, all with a very unprivate toilet.
I was in A Hall summer of 2002 during the world cup , Lockerbie bomber was still being held there in his own we compound "Gaddafi's cafe" and slopping out was still going on then... although I think some of the other halls were being refurbished with toilets at the time if I recall correctly.. but A Hall was still slopping out in 2002
“It’s a hell hole of a prison” That is a severe understatement. Its absolutely disgusting. It was so bad back in the day that cons sued them for breaching their human rights and won. Every con that done time there could claim against them and get a few geez.
Met a few Scottish people in winson green. And the stories of that place where crazy. Pp9 battery in socks. Sugar water. Morning body bags and breakfast on hold lol
One of the things that makes barlinnie a lot worse than other jail's in UK is that's it's 23 hour lockup. It's monotonous being locked up in a cell 23 hours a day and some days it's 24 hours if the guards can't be bothered giving you the hour exercise that you are entitled to. Also the fact it's an old Victorian jail that used to do executions etc gives it a creepy vibe. Overcrowding is rampant and you can end up sharing a cell with a psycho.
That's just not true. Unless you are talking about years ago. All the guys go to education, out to play football, the sheds to work on the bikes and make stuff. Aye a lot of the suicide risks, escape risks and those on protection are dubbed up 23 hours a day
Kar fc, thats true. Becouse every one i knew that was in barlinnie had to work. Maybe except guys that were only doing 7 to 14 days. But most guys doing a long sentence had to work. My mate was working on the garden work party in bar-l about 9 years ago and he said it was like a fucking golf course, it was huge lol.
Karfc, thats true. All the long term prisoners i knew had to work in bar. But i thinck if you were doing 7 to 14 days to 28 days you were locked up 23 hours a day. And the screws made you work. Its a hard big jail and no doubt!
@@SuperKarinaG It is true because ive been in it and experienced it and the fact you think its not true tells me you havent so stop talking like you know what your on about, listening to stories passing it on as fact. Everyone doest need to work theres not enough jobs for everyone to works theres over a thousand prisoners, do you think theres that many jobs inside a prison, also not everyone goes to education etc because like i said theres over a thousand prisoners, the guys who work in gardens or cooks etc used to be housed in letham hall and have different priveledges to guys in a,b,c hall, 12 year ago since i was last place.
@@stuartmc6377 no I didnt know u could. I did it in polmont aswell. Fuck it was awful as it wasnt only your own as in polmont we shared. I can smell it now. 1 boy threw his down the stairs and broke his porto loo. Dam it was bad. The block smelt so bad for weeks
@David Charles Francis Topham de Vere Beauclerk I was in for GBH a couple of guys started on me and a friend walking home from a pub one night.

I love it when Scottish people make anti-English statements as we all know throughout their entire history in Scotland the most dangerous thing for a Scotsman is another Scotsman. In the TV comedy still game Jack and Victor would have called it a pish pot.

The year 2000 while I was just beginning a four stretch , very first afence, was 4/5 doors down landing (E hall 3rd flat) from carri. Me and him got on quite well and carried would have down what he could to help me out. Carri had just started a 9 stretch but you could tell he was familiar with the ins and outs of the system, he was very switched on. Carri actually put a good word in so I could landing pass job and all he wanted in return was to make sure I got him the best shirts and trousers: shoes. I. Good deal I thought cause the passmen were always getting a certain amount of brand new clothing after kit change we new who wanted the new clothing. Apart from carri you always got a little snout some choco bars for the service. Carri always looked out for me cause I was the freshes of all meat. He did hold a level of respect but didn’t shout it from the chimneys. In summary carri was old school and I think the majority of merchandise. We both bought on the outdside came from possible. He took to me straight away, and I don’t think I would have got through the first six months with a different mind set. He ) carri) Once I got the pass job things changed over night. You just had to be very cautious. In summery Carri was/ is a top block . Other may disagree but I am sure giving face to face interview may uncover

The piss pots look like the starship enterprise from Startrek. Dot Cotton told is this true fact. Just she got transferred to Barlinnie from Cortonvale in the early 90s once she changed her gender. She also wanted to be near Nick Cotton who was on bottom flat on suicide watch as he had just received a 3 month sentence for shoplifting.
Don't know if its any different noo but back in the day the pipes in the halls would go oan about 3ish,and would fkn clunk clunk for hours,noisy as fuck
Amazing how it's considered English language...Arabic and Hebrew have more in common than the standard American English accent and, whatever this is...To me it's just Gaelic or something, with a veneer of English
i love piss pots,got over 2 grand after having to use them in HMP Saughton in the late ninties,as the EU told them it was way past the date we should have had real bogs,Shaun you'd get slashed from your cell mate for shitting in a piss pot,in Scottish prison you shit in a bag and fling it out the window (a shite bomb ),some poor prisoner had the job of picking up the shite bombs every morning
In Armley, you wrapped your shit in newspaper and flung it out the window, the nonces had the job of clearing it up. You can ring the buzzer all day long, nobody comes to let you out for a shit.
@@blueoranda5724 yes mate,no Scottish screw is going to open your door for a shite,we used the empty plastic bags off the loaves of bread,we used to get the empty bags off the pantryman,it wasn't the beasts up here that picked up,although it should have been the nonce bastards job,it was some poor cunt from each hall got shite bomb patrol each morning,they used to rake them to see if any parcels got chucked out by mistake LO FUKIN L !
A bar a white death 🤣🤣🤣 u think I'm in here for recreational purposes 🤣🤣🤣 I need to watch this whole interview brilliant. Blink known as a slasher that's got to be Gary Moore hes talking about aye that's wit to do slash them 🤣🤣
It is you look in and you know it happened to me too They are still the same they don't stop battering until you scream and you fight them all if you fight one
Screws were murdered in Northern Ireland during the troubles outside of the jail's. It will have happened here aswell but it's a cliche that they're just gonna hit an inmate for nowt. Commonly - they'll treat you like you treat them. Think about it - do you want punched with no warning, slashed, toilet buckets poured on you, etc, etc. That's the job they face. No doubt about corruption and sadists but mostly a co-operative prisoner will not get hassle. Just imo. That's why violence in jails is kept private and out of sight. The cons are the hardest cos they've got less.
Wait a fookin minute, I says do ya think I’m in here for Recreational purposes 🤣🤣🤣
Ian is a really engaging story teller. He has a gift.

He did hold a level of respect but didn’t shout it from the chimneys. In summary carri was old school and I think the majority of merchandise. We both bought on the outdside came from possible. He took to me straight away, and I don’t think I would have got through the first six months with a different mind set. He ) carri) Once I got the pass job things changed over night. You just had to be very cautious. In summery Carri was/ is a top block . Other may disagree but I am sure giving face to face interview may uncover

Are you still in possil? Or have you moved. Was in killie with a couple of lads from there, they were good lads to but your old man took a bit of beating after all he was the movie star and a star he was 👍
@@craiga4329 aye still in posso pal never new my old boy was in Killie prison tbh wae u and he took a bit of beating as in verbally or physically as u said first I've heard of it mate each to there own
Wouldn't say he was movie star for getting 20 seconds of air time in movie about ex drug addicts tbh would say he was in movie that's as far as it goes mate were u from yourself pal
Having spent equal years in 100+ year old gaols & newer modern prisons, I much prefer the older.
Did you hear about the lonely prisoner
He was in his cell. 😂
We had that curry in armly and it was fecin horrible that was back we had to piss in a bucket, I use to put orange peel in the bucket to make it smell a little better. And if ya wanted an shit ya made a parcel and through it through the bars for the garden party the next day.
This Guy isnt exactly feared in Glasgow and was a Shoplifter then Tried Armed Robbery and was quickly caught.Could Talk for Scotland.

@@GlasgowBandit if a glasgow hard man heard blink was after him he would burst out laughing.Im from there he grafts earns money but hes not feared by other guys.
@@monstermonster99 ok well I'm from Glasgow aswell I would beg to differ just because he stays quiet he's still a very respected and dangerous character

@@chunknorris2627 lol longriggend long ago pal, polmont n long ,glenochill y,os, back the daft days ,94/95/96 lol 👍
The piss pots look like the starship enterprise from Startrek. Dot Cotton told is this true fact. Just she got transferred to Barlinnie from Cortonvale in the early 90s once she changed her gender. She also wanted to be near Nick Cotton who was on bottom flat on suicide watch as he had just received a 3 month sentence for shoplifting.
just like the screws in wandsworth
Don't know if its any different noo but back in the day the pipes in the halls would go oan about 3ish,and would fkn clunk clunk for hours,noisy as fuck
I was in E hall when you were in the Wendy
Its 😊meant to make you never want to go back dog boxes ect
Great stories, but even with subtitles I couldn’t have caught more than 20% of what he actually said.
As someone from Glasgow I suggest politely you fuck off, did you catch that?
Amazing how it's considered English language...Arabic and Hebrew have more in common than the standard American English accent and, whatever this is...To me it's just Gaelic or something, with a veneer of English
He mainly mumbles. Incomprehensible.
@@BoqPrecision good
Boqoreh It’s called slang, like Scouse etc and I find your Hebrew and Arabic comparison laughable! 🖕🏻
this didnae feel wrong! haha
Blink i can remember being in the Dug leg wi you back in 1980 (longriggend)
I think i'd shit myself if Blink chapped my door :)
Slasher Gallachger lol xx Aye Wee Bobby lol xx
What's Barlinnie Prison Like?
Shite.
Next?
No being funny but this is another boring podcast. Blink has to be one of the most boring to listen to.
The bar' L '
The big hoose
i love piss pots,got over 2 grand after having to use them in HMP Saughton in the late ninties,as the EU told them it was way past the date we should have had real bogs,Shaun you'd get slashed from your cell mate for shitting in a piss pot,in Scottish prison you shit in a bag and fling it out the window (a shite bomb ),some poor prisoner had the job of picking up the shite bombs every morning
In Armley, you wrapped your shit in newspaper and flung it out the window, the nonces had the job of clearing it up. You can ring the buzzer all day long, nobody comes to let you out for a shit.
@@blueoranda5724 yes mate,no Scottish screw is going to open your door for a shite,we used the empty plastic bags off the loaves of bread,we used to get the empty bags off the pantryman,it wasn't the beasts up here that picked up,although it should have been the nonce bastards job,it was some poor cunt from each hall got shite bomb patrol each morning,they used to rake them to see if any parcels got chucked out by mistake LO FUKIN L !
A bar a white death 🤣🤣🤣 u think I'm in here for recreational purposes 🤣🤣🤣 I need to watch this whole interview brilliant. Blink known as a slasher that's got to be Gary Moore hes talking about aye that's wit to do slash them 🤣🤣
He's on about Gary his wee brother not Gary Moore
I've got a Mars bar look
An Shawn says ye an does not look
You think he said something to him before interview
There’s no way that guys on drugs! Your all wrong....
Wee bit o blow noo an then
The female staff in St. Marys were all virgin nuns, mate, that's what the boys said.
I have got a Mars Bar myself too, it is delicious.
It is you look in and you know it happened to me too
They are still the same they don't stop battering until you scream and you fight them all if you fight one

Screws were murdered in Northern Ireland during the troubles outside of the jail's. It will have happened here aswell but it's a cliche that they're just gonna hit an inmate for nowt. Commonly - they'll treat you like you treat them. Think about it - do you want punched with no warning, slashed, toilet buckets poured on you, etc, etc. That's the job they face. No doubt about corruption and sadists but mostly a co-operative prisoner will not get hassle. Just imo. That's why violence in jails is kept private and out of sight. The cons are the hardest cos they've got less.
