Boys Banged Up BBC Northern Ireland Hydebank Wood Prison Documentary - Episode 2

[@donalddumas6987]

I was given a tour of a prison at a young age. Changed my life forever.

[@rizzledizzle9801]

A real collection of deep thinkers there

[@MatthewWalkerLothian]

Thankfully I didn’t end up in prison at any point, I’ve done some very very very questionable things in my time, I had the most middle class almost upper class upbringing you could get, dad used to collect whiskey and a couple thousand bottles, I used to steal them at early age and before you know it couple years later was an alcoholic, spent a year living in a tent in the Forrest by myself, robbing shops for alcohol, doing some dumb shit but thankfully didn’t end up in prison, now 2.5 years sober and working as a complaints manager, how things turn when you get your head down

They need structure, make them get up at 7am clean their room a bowl of porridge and put to a days hard labour. System is a complete joke the jails are like holiday camps.

[@gregorymorton3783]

Would be interesting to see the results as in, let them do what they want during sentence and see the re offending rate vs up at 6am cleaning, breakfast, work 8am take sandwiches for lunch back at 4pm dinner at 5pm back in cells at 6pm see this re offending rate and long term metal health problems ect

[@cloudededen5819]

We get punished for not having spotless pads so always cleaning them and if you're not working in most jails 5 days a week they cut you back to basic and make your time a lot harder...the comment about porridge is just you being a twat what does having nice food have to do with rehabilitation you act like if you starve someone's taste buds they'll suddenly be reformed...canteen is a treat for good behaviour and work and the meals served are already shite so guess you got half your twisted fantasy

I was banged up for 18mths at the age of 17 1990, Brockhill remand centre, Winson Green (adult prison with landing on a wing set out of YP allocation) and Onley.No TV's , slop out,shit parcels, lines, shit flicker shoes, Green and Greys for visits, bed packs, governors inspection. Felt like I went from from the classroom to the prison cell in the click of my fingers. Was a bit of a shock to the system and I'm not ashamed to admit I shed a tear or 2 on that first night in brockhill but you soon get used to it. I'm not saying these kids have it good but it was definitely worse back then. I hear they have phones in their cells now, I didnt even make a phone call the whole sentence. Nobody I knew had a phone 🤣. Was lucky to get a visit but shit happens and you live and learn.

[@jackietreehorn5561]

Fair play hard enough I'd say, but in the maze in ni for 20 years prisoner's living in an open sewer and naked, tried to slop out and was thrown back in at them, 10 men died on hunger strike because of it and won their rights, then they pretty much ran the jail ..screws were too afraid of getting a parcel under their cars, and 40 of the screws were killed...crazy times in ni back in the day

[@EricTheRed72]

@@jackietreehorn5561 yeh there's prisons in some parts of the world that could break even the strongest of men. Slop out and no tvs or phones in their cells would be the least of their worries. Some haven't even a bed they're sleeping on a section of their cell floor and there are 20 other prisoners in there. They fear for their lives daily. Being sent to prison in most of Europe would be literally like a holiday camp for these people.

What some of these people need is more rehabilitation centers rather than a prison sentence, some of the Wings in this prison could easily be made open part of the prison and they continue to stay there after six months until they have found them a permanent job and somewhere permanent to live then they are less likely to reaffend or get back into problems again sometimes it's just these young men mixing in with the wrong people I believe a lot of these people just need some help in the right direction.....

I love prison documentaries but they are often quite sad to watch. This is no exception. Just a pathetic waste of life, to exist being locked up for months or years on end with absolutely no prospects, freedom or purpose is just meaningless. These "men" are basically all just treated like little kids, collecting their boxes of food and acting like adolescents.

[@robdevenney]

For a lot of the lads they have grown up in their care system and know no better. They are thrown out of jail to go live in a hostel that is far worse than jail with no job and because of their conviction(s) will find it very difficult to find one so any wonder a lot of these lads turn to drugs to cope or steal to try and better their situation. Most of these lads are set up to fail and without support a lot of them will fail. It's genuinely very sad and a broken system all round.

[@yunikG]

also the drug dealers are not a problem, if not one guy, other guy, thats the users is the problem buying them

[@pedromiguel3227]

This is a holiday camp compared to California youth authority. These tough guys would learn prison discipline and respect very quickly from the gangs, not the staff.

[@Dion_Mustard]

Shame people can't just behave themselves (and think before they act) and therefore not wind up in this situation. I suppose that's wishful thinking and not as simple as that. There will always be bad people who do bad things and feel great about it, and indeed "good" people who make mistakes and end up regretting their actions. I personally think life is precious, and short, and nothing should be taken for granted HENCE I could never commit a crime. Thumbs up to those men and women who make that mistake, do the time but end up better people in the end. That's the only positive thing I can say about criminals.

[@asde1747]

These kids often come from abuse and don't know any better. That doesn't excuse their behaviour but it is a deeper generational societal problem rather than people not being able to behave themselves. Get off the moral high ground, if you were born into similar circumstances you could quite easily have taken the wrong path like these young men
