In the '70s-'80s the police used to charge people with crimes and with very little evidence knowing full well that they would be able to get them remanded by the magistrate, they would then use every trick in the book to stretch out the legal process which ended up with the person being in prison for 12-18 months before the case was either thrown out by the judge or found not guilty by a jury, there was no compensation for loss of earnings and employment and wrongful imprisonment, I wonder if things have changed with the UK signed up to the ECHR?

Thank you, I couldn't agree more! No-one ever remembers the innocent victim's name or the brutal crimes committed by these vile felons..All we ever hear about is the 'poor' prisoner..They never talk about their offences, but will always whine on camera about their lack of creature comforts, awful food, no rights, time in cells, bad prison officers, ad nauseum..The most ironic jokers, were the men who said they missed their families, because they were serving long sentences for serious crimes.? They obviously didn't think about their families, when breaking the law..What about victim's family, who will never get to see their loved one again.? These monsters (who've never contributed anything to society), eventually get released - unfortunately..

[@speer57]

I was in Brixton in 83, Tbh it was a good crack.Worst thing was if you came in on a Friday all the cells would be full so you'd end up on F Wing (Fraggle rock) where you have a weekend surround by screamers and loonies. But Monday you'd be moved to normal location. Plus they done Sunblest bread all the London jails had bread they baked and it was shit. Those were the days of proper prisons, more loyalty among cons, far less violence than today. Then I got sent to Wansworth because of my sentence length and that was when it was all single cells and the screws ruled the place. Horrible prison.
