What a lovely guy John is. I could listen to him talk all day. Wishing him all the best for his future.

[@oliverscarlettmackenzie5136]

From Prison Officer to Nurse to teacher to composer to woo-merchant. What a story!

[@mrsc9187]

I wish more people had the same integrity as John! Great interview!

[@craigcollyer568]

When he said i terminated the 3 of them quickly killed me 😂

[@bigtoelittlefinger6133]

Yip i burst oot laughing class😂

[@tamarar7168]

Loved the interview. What an entertaining character John is. Can speak about serious issues in such a simple straightforward way.

[@natthecat4212]

John is brilliant like most big businesses in this country including the prison system it’s run by a lot of highly educated people, the trouble with this most of the time they have no common sense what so ever !! John is full of common sense and a wealth of experience in the prison system we need men like this to reform the system and make it safe especially for the mentally sick and venerable who shouldn’t even be in prison!

[@user-pc1jd3pj9k]

I'm 47 I've been in prison on and off for over 20 years for crimes ranging from theft to drug possession and post office robberies , commercial and domestic burglary all of which I'm not proud of. The prison system in this country is shocking. There are some decent officers who want to help but they are the minority, there's absolutely no rehabilitation whatsoever and it seems to me that the only way you get anything sorted out is by kicking off and threatening to do this and that I.e self harm . Upset the routine on the wing which causes the officers work. Basically act like a fucking spoilt fucking child . Which I couldn't lower myself to do . Then it's full of spice which is being bought in by corrupt officers. Hell holes they all are . I've been out almost 2 years now and will never be going back . God I'm able to go abroad for the first time in 20 years in March as I will be off license and free from all contact with the criminal justice system 🙏

[@alphacanine9641]

Noticed this with the highly educated not all but a lot lack common sense. They what I call book clever but not street smart and of course lack common sense.

[@darrenbellhouse7507]

Loved this interview. Really interesting and honest x

[@lulurose2587]

Very interesting Podcast. Thank you James and John.

[@mariajefferies8555]

Have enjoyed listening I saw this guy on the doco on Strangeways. I did feel like they would band together and protect other officers. There was def an edge to the officers. John was brave to speak up 👍🏼

[@adamiqbal8847]

Love listening to John. A true genuine bloke who cared about his job. James as always great.

[@JamesEnglish]

👍🏼

[@mikipiers1930]

James, you have the most uncanny ability to not only find interesting guests, regardless if one might like/dislike, agree/disagree or even believe or not believe them but, to also facilitate them telling their story in a way that is captivating for all of us watching or listening. Almost always you seem to find the right balance between educational, informative, entertaining, etc. Regardless who you have on the podcast, it always leaves me with food for thought. Perhaps having more guests from mainland Europe might even help grow your audience. Just a thought. Keep up the good work 🙏

[@JamesEnglish]

❤️

[@justonsullivan3807]

I like John, he has a great life story, and he's not scared to call out what's right is right and what's wrong is wrong. I wish him and his loved ones great health and all the happiness in the world. 👍🇺🇲🗽🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿👍

I love that statement you are sane however the place your working at is not, sums it up institutions. Brilliant Interview James loved it, real eye opener.

[@PedroBelfastBhoy67]

Great interview, could listen to him all day. When he said he got hit on the snot box I near lost it haha

[@garybarr2023]

That was quite an interesting interview. It was good to hear about prison life from the other point of view rather than just always hearing it from the prisoners side.Thankyou very much aye really enjoyed that interview 😀 👍

How come the Jordan McCann pc got taken down ?

I came on here only to ask the same question either he was baiting himself up to much or James is saving till somthing happens to him 🙄🤔

Get Fred West's (the serial killer) brother on, he is doing interviews now I think. It would be an interesting guest.

I think that would be fascinating!

[@schoolshoes]

Thanks James John is a legend!

[@kayeb222]

This guy gives me similar vibes to the ones i got from charlie Bronson's 'long lost son '. I find him hard to believe. The army, prison officer,song writer, pop star manager,social worker,book writer.... And not to forget psychic!!

[@dantimo5506]

NCO after 5 years in the army? trained with sas and done p company parachute regiment find it hard to believe

[@Joe-es9qx]

I did the pest control in wormwood scrubs from 2015-2017 awful not fit for purpose Victorian prison. I later joined the prison service and did 2 years as an officer, worse 2 years of my life but really made my CV shine having that.

Great interview james

[@JamesEnglish]

Thanks

[@paulaevsxx04]

What a lovely guy ,i enjoyed this

[@Bean5prout]

It never stops to amaze me but all the prison officers and police you've ever interviewed always have the same whoo is me victim mentality when they get charged with breaking the law, but they laugh about people they remember being wrongly convicted. This guy's when he defended himself in the pub, yet within a few minutes he is laughing about his friend beating on over 100 prisoners for no reason ... He was just about one of those prisoners and I'm sure he would have claimed to be a victim of a big Irish prison guard gave him a smack for something Simone else did. Reminds me of that female onlyfans ex cop who was told hundreds of times her modelling was against policy and she kept doing and kept saying she was a victim, but she was laughing while talking about arresting people for petty offenses. Really shows the mentality that goes behind a badge.

[@alphacanine9641]

Power attracts interesting characters.

[@sb-kn6vb]

Why don't you work in the system and make a change? Many people make these moaning comments like they're squeaky clean. Truth is nobody wants these shit jobs with shit money and hassle, I certainly wouldn't. If you're such a good character and think you're going to do everything by the book please take that job 👍

[@sarahmcewanevpeace1887]

Good old Paul sykes, I remember him, in wakefield, and also know one of his son's, ɓut Paul sykes has died now, quite a few year's ago now!!!! Sarah from Wakefield West Yorkshire. X

Hes seems like one of the good "threaded nail" lol instead of the 2 or 3 out of 10 screw bastards i met on my couple of tours of duty in the Irish system . Enjoyed this thanks sharing James

[@jameschrl3733]

Jordan McCann got the whole scene shook up lol, from rap to HMP they want him silent 🤫😅

[@mcbridefan88]

Great interview. But a bit dark hearing about some of these animals that should never walk the streets again so that they can hurt innocent people.

[@EvidentlyFire]

After having experienced many of this countries jails, some of the worst in London nothing compares to the Feltham of the late 90s. There were stone cold killers there then Prisoners and screws.

Wanted my other half to watch Jordans podcast after watching it myself but it's gone, will we not see it again? So much for 'freedom of speech' 🤬 Love your energy with the guests James! ❤

[@UFCresultsweekly]

Why did it get took down?

[@Anthonys_S]

Why’s it gone?

[@strikerfromthe3rd]

Jordans podcast was sick to raw. He admited a murder and 3 shootings

[@warrenwilson36]

​@strikerfromthe3rd I didn't watch it has he served time for the murder is that why it got taken down I started it and never got much into seems like I missed out big time

Why the Jordan McCann vid taken down

[@ronm9101]

This pod was Ace

[@JamesEnglish]

thanks

[@DAVE-J-B]

Why has Jordan M podcast been taken down James ?

[@jordanlyons8453]

I have an interview for an Operational Support Grade position at HMP Wormwood Scrubs. I’m sure the lads will target and test me but that’s the nature of the job. If you can’t handle confrontation then don’t bother applying. However I’m sure I’ll have my own stories to tell in the future.

[@garveybhoy]

Enjoyed this but I think the big man has been sampling some of that lagacto at the end of the podcast 🤣

[@dickie8184]

John seems a honest hardworking man, unfortunately he worked for the morons at the he top who have no idea about real world problems, or don't want to know, so society is held back. He reminds me of my late father, also called John. Solid bloke.

[@joncook1888]

What happened to the Sean james repo man… has it been taken down already ???

[@garyfeltham302]

Well done John.

[@frogtastic1000]

A brave guy to be a prison officer

[@user-ov7xd9lf2i]

Me and an ex girlfriend went to a psychic at black pool and we were amazed how accurate she was and things she told us would happen in the future did happen. Could be the same one.
