Men and women prisoners, absolutely. If I was a prisoner and served twelve years in prison, one hundred and forty-four months of it, I serve the whole twelve years, not two, not five, but the full term until I re-evaluate if I behaved myself which I know I am capable of.

Reminder for all the angry men who are going to belt their way into this comment section to teach the darned no-good feminists their place - this is a prison - i.e. a place where your daily routine is entirely managed for you by a prison bureaucracy you have *no control over* and where, most critically, you are separated from everybody you know and love, for a period of time that *you have no control over.* Perhaps instead of arguing that all women should have it as rough as the worst-treated men, *real* mens-rights advocates should be fighting to improve conditions across the board in Britain's prison system, and addressing the root causes for why men are disproportionately more likely to commit crimes in the first place (drugs abuse, poverty etc.) - just a thought. :)

Originally a detention centre for male juveniles . I was there in 1970 as a 16 year old. That was a tough regime , Worse haircut ever , No smoking for the whole of your term , No T.V. . Radio 10 minutes a day for the news in the dining hall .Up at the crack of dawn and exercising in the yard whatever the weather . Everything at the double . Circuit training was brutal , Get caught cheating and everyone had to start from the beginning the god help you in the showers after you got caught you got a severe beating. Murderball every Saturday . Work a full day , Classes at night , Church on Sunday , Hardly anytime to get into trouble .

I was there in 1958. One screw in particular knocked me about something rotten. He put one lad in hospital for lifting his hands up to defend himself while he was being hit by that officer.

There were some very good screws there, but it only takes a couple of bad ones to wreak terror and the rest of them to do nothing to make life bad by bullying for young susceptible lads. The bullying and violence dealt out by a few of the screws made a big impact on my life. I could deal with the other lads, that was normal behavior, but those few screws were in the wrong job. I believe in discipline, but not bullying. Twisting a boys nipples and telling him to do that to their girlfriends when they got out was perverted, and the screws enjoyed it. Thanks for your reply, I,m glad that you didnt get the same treatment as the lads before you recieved. Look after yourself
