The Gangs Using 'Sleeper Agents' In Prisons Where “Skulls Are CRUSHED!”

Drugs, violence and weapons - conditions inside UK prisons are reaching breaking point, with jails in England and Wales at around 99% capacity.
The infamous riots of Strangeways Prison in Manchester left one prison officer dead, plus 147 staff and 47 inmates injured; with substances and corruption rife, how close are we to another full-blown riot in a British jail?
Former Met detective Peter Bleksley is joined by General Secretary of POA Steve Gillan, reformed armed robber and TikTok mentor Paul Simmons, and former prison officer Vanessa Frake to discuss.

Been visiting prisons up and down the country for decades and I was reporting the escalation in violence and availability of drugs in prisons years ago It doesnt help that so many of the officers are every bit as dreadful and dangerous as any of the inmates .. At High Down officers are basically a gang and a dangerous one at that.. In most prisons now, Albanians, Kurds and Muslims dominate and we are seeing heinous crimes and chaotic scenarios daily.. Sexual assaults, attacks with knives and boiling sugar water are administered routinely on a daily basis... Suicides and self harming are at epidemic levels and a particularly disturbing feature of prison life in the UK is the growth of familes being extorted of huge sums of money, in return for their vulnerable children being kept safe ! Many parents recieve short videos of their sons, being sexually assaulted with an implement or savagely beaten and are then asked to pay a weekly sum to ensure the attacks dont continue Make no mistake, there will be a total breakdown and it will look like something from an as yet not written, Mad Max The Sequel

This was a very interesting conversation, great guests. I was in prison 25 years ago. 2 year sentence. I was a full blown addict and very unhealthy when I went in.... Came out clean , healthy and happy and started my clean new life , got a job , my folder full of certificates (including an NVQ) helped. The officers were all great, and the prison did a good job to reform us. Drugs - we all knew that the men's jail's had drugs even then, but in the women's prison I was in - Buckley Hall, it had just been converted from a men's jail when we arrived, only 30 people in the jail when we arrived , so we all got pick of the best jobs, great Governer , I feel extremely lucky to have arrived there at the right time . Sorry I digress , the drug issue... Now we all knew that a very small number of girls got stuff passed on visits ect, but it would be a small amount that they kept very quiet about and would smoke "behind their doors" after bang up. They didn't do methadone in jail back then , it was cold turkey . If the place had been like prisons are NOW , I dread to think what trouble / debts I'd of got myself into if there had been dealets on the wing like there is now. . chilling thought.... No way would i have been able to resist when in full blown smack withdrawals. Prison actually worked for me . I'm don't think it would the way they are now. Dealers on every wing with mobile phones.... Crazy. ... Drug addicts haven't got a hope in hell of getting clean in that environment. Subscribed!!

My husband says he's exaggerating. He's done some time, never used drugs other than some weed but he would spend easily $200 a month on commissary alone. Drinks food hygiene because he couldn't eat the cafeteria food for health reasons. So his point is not everyone is using it for drugs. Many do and many dont

We need more prisons We need more officers We need de radicalism Harsher sentances and a tougher regimes like other countries have in gang busting. A culture where certain inmates or religions run the institution must go.

They will always find ways to get their needs in . In all honesty a corrupt guard is safer than having families kidnapped so they can get a corrupt guard . They need to separate prisoners by their records , vulnerable in other prisons . A weed offender can do house arrest , work during the day and then back at home right after

So long as the nature of power and control exists, be it from necessity or desire, need or want within man, you will always have corruption at some level, it's been a part of life forever from the highest of stature to the lowest, the question is, when every job has its perks in one way or another, at what point does it become corruption, if not it all from big to small !!

Whilst our politicians and so called elites get richer every corner of our country crumbles. We need accountability

[@MaxPlankton]

With multiple secure doors, detectors, profiling etc, how do drugs arrive in prisons? Is it the human rights legislation restricting your stop and search rights??
