I like First Dates. Agree with comment above though that these are more reality tv/entertainment rather than serious documentaries and I think most people recognise that. You can still find pretty good documentaries though they’re usually on Netflix or the like these days.

I then spent the next 3O+ years unable to find work, due to my criminal conviction. For a crime I did not commit. Talk about rough justice, man!! So I did '' behave '' myself and it got me nowhere!!! 😡

I've done a lot of work with ex-prisoners and the idea that prisons today are cushy is a myth. They are horrible nasty places, filled with horrible nasty people. One of the stranger facts is that murderers are usually the quietest bunch in the prison. One thing though about prisoners, give them a yard and they'll take a mile... Give them two hours socialisation they'll want six hours.

(Pseudonym) A violent, oppressive hell hole. There was a constant threat of violence from inmates and staff. I spent my first night there aged 15 in 1976, waiting for Borstal, returned a couple of times on other YP sentences. It helped to make me a very angry and aggressive man, then many years in jail. I have been free nearly 24 years. Prisons and staff have gone the opposite way, the new type of inmate is worse. I see now that a certain amount of fear of violence was necessary for control, some staff were just monsters. This new type of criminal needs to feel real pain.

Incredibly, this idiot took himself hostage in his cell and threatened to cut himself. In the old days they would have laughed at him and said 'Get on with it' They treat it like he was going to injure someone else. A team, fully riot kitted, messed about for ages before going in and taking the tiny item off him. Laughable.

I was in the army in the 70s & you could say it was an austere open prison. I could adjust to prison life with all its strickness & in my barracks room with 6-8 muckers each had a bed, locker, chair & light. It felt like a prison which it was. Slopping out might grate a tad.

Prison populaion in Britain in 1979: 42,000 At the most recent estimate, the prison population in England and Wales is projected to grow to between 93,000 and 106,000 by 2027 - more if you add Scotland. And costing approximately £50,000 per prisoner p.a.

The prisons have come a long way since the sixties and " 3 days on 3 days off" days. I spent time in every London Prison. Being a convicted prisoner is generally better as you can work and get out your cell. Remand prisoners are banged up all day. Being in a single cell was better not having to share with 2 others gave you privacy. They never put 2 in a cell only 1,3 some had rarely 4. When that door was shut after you got your tea that was it unless you were dying and you pressed the bell. So if you needed to use the toilet. Tough. You had a pot each to piss in but if you needed a shit and couldn't hold on you did it on newspaper made a parcel and threw it out the window. These "Shit Parcels" were then picked up the following morning by other inmates who were in the " Chief Officers party" Not the sort of party I go to. Yes prisons have come a long way since my days in the late sixties and seventies. Those who don't know what " 3 days on 3 days off" means its punishment. Bread and Water diet. Prisoners today don't realise how easy they have it. Toilet in their cell, TV, radio and kettle.

Fascinating watch, especially knowing what happened 10 years later. Similar, or worse, conditions in prisons right now with the COVID lockdowns still very much in effect inside. I'm hearing of protests inside Whitemoor and Belmarsh. Solidarity to all incarcerated people x

An inflation rate of 4.19% per year means £100 in 1979 is worth £634.07 in 2024, 33k pa. The average salary for Prison Officer in 2024 is £33,370 per year. so it hasnt changed, apart from its now better conditions and also the 70 hour week has now been cut in half with the same wage so overtime will increase the wage value.
