Thanks Sam, enjoyed that chat. I'm glad to hear you've connected with Shaun again, his story resonated with me when you first posted his interview. I hope he's doing well and keeping out of trouble. All the best!

Just chatting with a old school officer ( on the 3s back in 1993 ) who had been working in Brixton over 35 years he said he delt with nearly everyone but Neilson was one inmate he would never of of turned his back on,said he was one inmate who gave off a wicked evil vibe, a loner but one you could tell was truly evil - a good officer I hope he's fine n well this was 1993 & he was counting the days till he retired

I've lost a bit of faith in JW, not sure he's all he makes out he is.

[@bennym5244]

Yes, I was impressed with him when I first heard him. He likened himself to serpico. Anyway, after watching a few of his podcasts I thought he says good stuff but who did he blow the whistle on? No names, no corrupt officials sacked, no enquiries made. So, what did he do? I've met ex coppers who have told me tons of terrible corrupt practices in the police. Jon is just like that an ex copper you meet in a pub telling you about things that went on in the force.

[@FanVidder72]

Hiya Sam, in yesterday's TV listings there is going to be a programme about Wakefield (repeat) called Evil Behind Bars next Thursday 10pm on Channel 5. I believe that I've seen this one before, as I remember watching one about Wakefield on YT. Take care.

Jimmy Boyle is an interesting character the film a sense of freedom the way he rebelled against the prison authority after watching Jimmy's interview when he was sent to the cages prison in nairn after no other prison would accept him yet in the end after his release he made good of himself

Did you ever hear stories about Lee Duffy

[@matty6848]

Seems to me Sam, once your sectioned in a certain category it’s very hard for a inmate to dig themselves out of that section or category. Which means inmates who probably made a bad decision in the heat of the moment find themselves in a no win situation at which they adopt that f#*k it mentality, where if their not going too listen or take anything they say seriously they might as well kick off. Another great educational vlog Sam. As for Charlie Bronson? Why that man who is getting on in years is still incarcerated is beyond me?!?

Mick lol, married an aussie soldier, maybe time spent, was lockdd up in 70's and early 80's? X

[@mikeclarke3882]

Kate, to answer your question, and reply to your comment. An applicant's migration status depends on the crime and when it was committed. It also depends on the applicant making a full declaration of their time in prison during their application process. As to your comment, when you say his entry into Australia shouldn't have been allowed, you're not suggesting he should be punished his entire life for a crime are you? The guy did the crime, did his time, and would have been thoroughly vetted by immigration before been granted a visa. Being married to an Australian citizen is irrelevant. If immigration thought he was a risk he wouldn't have been let in. Where's you're Aussie sense of giving people a fare go?

[@katem58785]

I wasn't saying he shouldn't be here I only thought that once you had a criminal record you weren't able to enter, didn't mean any disrespect. Please don't accuse me of not being Aussie I was born in Queensland 63yrs ago I was simply asking the question, I have nothing against anyone coming to live in our beautiful country, I guess the law's have changed. Just a question you don't have the right to call me non Australian my exhusband is British, but he is a drunk and violent towards me. Please forgive my ignorance.

[@mikeclarke3882]

@@katem58785 Hey Kate, didn't mean to get on your case I was just explaining things as they are, or how I understand them. No offence meant. I spent a little time behind bars in the UK myself in the early 1970's and moved to Australia with my wife in 1987...best thing we ever did. And you're right, this is a beautiful country. We became citizens two years after we arrived and have never regretted it.
