It's class isn't it mate the guy who poohs himself all the time is so funny he should have his own show,

ive been force fed it for the last 3 weeks with her indoors working inside aswell and she gives me a running comentary on what the sound of the alarm means to what a dirty protest is
infact you only have to mention prison programme and the remote is flicked over in an instance, now why dont they do a documentary on graffiti removal and painting and decorating so i can explain to her how to cut in a skirting board or how to paint a climbing framing ?

I know a psychiatric nurse who works at the Strangeways Motel, small world !

[lynwlt]

Missed the first one but have watched the other two...

I work in a place where prisons send their mentally ill prisoners.

I watched last night wondering if they'd ever decide David was ill and send him to us.......

Fingers crossed that doesn't happen. I hate dirty protests!

Yep Sean it takes me back a few years!

We used to have a large woman in a wheelchair nearly every week in court for calling 999 constantly.

She used to have a pooh and put it in her pockets.
As soon as she was wheeled into the court room,she would fetch it out and try and chuck it at the Magistrates!

During her first spell in Holloway, some enterprising inmate set light to her wheelchair, and yes, not only could she walk, she could run

[Scylla]

LOLOLOLOL, Kat ... or NOT!




scylla

[Katfish]

Definitely NOT then, Scylla!
Now it does sound funny,
but back then it was awful, LOL

[ragjoy]

last night i watched last weeks episode and by the sound of it this week is more of the same.
i dont understand why they go to all the expense of making a program about life in prison an all they do is show you people who obviously shouldn't be there at all or how some thug goes about getting married in prison.
i dont know what i expect but its not what ive seen so far.
raggy.........

Try not to watch the 'customer' side raggy... look at the staff side. It's been a good program for us as it's shown the environment we have to work in without unnecessary dramatised add-ons or fluffing up.

Unfortunately, and this is no dig at you, most people get worked up about the prisoners and forget there are others involved.

It makes me feel very comfortable with my 'over inflated' civil service pension!

Get what you mean since my friend has told me how tough it is on the staff in there.

Also this from 4.20 - such a good comedian !
