watch anything that was produced in the UK from before maybe 15 years ago, its like an entirely different country. Its like watching a country that literally does not exist anymore.

The conversation with The lad wanting to change his job ...obviously because he was being bullied. Was horrific and so dysfunctional from a psychological point of view

AMAZED no one has commented on the officer @ 45:40 talking about homosexuality!. i mean, talk about pots and kettles!!!!. struth!

FREEZE @ 11:37......can you possibly GUESS, looking into his eyes, just WHAT might "happen" if the inmate did NOT....."plod on.....right NOW"??.

Its mckay

Answer that bloody phone

Keep expecting to see Fletcher and Mr Mackie 😄

Acting

Wakefield Training centre made officers. Newbold Revell made gentlemen. God help white socks wearing officers if the governor of Wandsworth saw them. " Effeminate" !

I did borstal. And young offenders. Detention many other jail as grew up settled kids Mrs. Different guy

My grandad was telling me an experience he had back in 1978 when he was 21 he went on holiday to Scarborough with myand he went to the pub for a night out and got into a fight with a drunk guy who punched him but got knocked out as self defence and when he got into the prison cell he told me that when he was trying to explain one of the officers got in his face and when he told him to back away and give some personal space the guard slapped him on the face and told him if he carried on he would punch him and break his jaw luckily he managed to keep his calm and nothing escalated but hearing his experience the Police back then were absolute Bullys and Just Careless which is crazy, times have changed alot but if that was me i would've lost it.

"One onto you Mr Stiles". "Thank you Mr Hagan".

Slop out McVicar

Swimming pool right that’s it oh it’s 2024 no swimming pool 😂😂

Why on earth would anyone want to be a prison officer? I would rather be on dole

Thanks for sharing, shared. Eastwood Park. 1978. I Was There.

must be regulars as know time train comes

If you look through the door and their at it, that’s another charge for handling swollen goods

Bread and water wasn’t done away with they just stopped talking about it

Any man that holds the keys to another man's freedom is never truly free himself.

peter cushing at 42 minuits , didnt know he ended up working in a jail ffs

As if they missed the train

I just finished 18 years as a fluffier for pornhub.cock and I thought I would try my hand at being a screw. Fuck me

One on boss

These are proper prison officers really concentration people no wonder they are respected

I miss the good old days. Also when England was England

15 years an electrician, wants to be a prison officer ,that's crazy ,he must of been the only electrician not making money .

I think screws tend to be on their best behaviour when filmed , the opposite is true with lags.......

As a young man from 1975 to 1980, I'd spent over 4 years of it in prison. DC, Ashford Yp, then the big house Wandsworth. Obviously, I was a shit criminal kept getting caught! So this film & similar are so familiar to me. But almost every screw I met was decent & respectful. Even in Wandsworth, where it was very much an 'Us & Them' scenario. Dare we lay a finger on them? And they came at you in force. But we all knew that anyway. The misery of prison, emptiness, and sheer powerlessness were excruciatingly painful. It's even worse if you had a girl/wife on the out. Being banged up, especially Sundays where every minute seemed like an hour, every hour was like 10. When I was finally released 2nd Feb 1980 the very last time, I swore I'd never go back. And I never have. Freedom is priceless.

There were no smoke?

The university of crime.

Although some of it might be "for the cameras" there was an element of rehabilitation-mindedness amongst a number of the staff. I wonder how much of that exists today. Resources will be the biggest problem, & modern box-ticking government style. Being deprived of liberty is the punishment, added brutalisation, chain-gangs etc makes it so much worse when they inevitably have to become "our future neighbours". Europeans do all this so much better & have less repeat offending

Kangas fucking bully screws, soon ended by 2000 with picture phones, world became smaller so did there home addresses, violence ended, bully screws went elsewhere

I miss Parkas. Let's go and buy a Parka.

Hope some of those prisoners did learn from their mistakes and go on to live good lives.Guessing most have passed away now.

Can't see Kingsnorth power station chimney any more.......

Well done to the minister/ Priest showing these guy's that their not to employing them to be part of the punishment clearly haven't worked out Prison is the punishment not the officers job u can see the Navy man thinks he's the man that will sort the prisoners out i.e. he's going to be usual bully of the weak n vulnerable

37m.40s , Quote - ( Says proudly ) " Iam what would be known as a bastard. "

I was a young offender in 1977. While in prison waiting to go to borstal one prison officer told me he would break my legs if I caused the night officer any more problems (childish noise) and then in borstal two physical education prison officers all but told me that they were going to kill me when they had the opportunity. I was 17 and weighed as much as a wet loaf of bread. The film Scum epitomised the prison officers I experienced and it reflects the ignorance of the prisoners, the staff and society at that time. (EDIT: Just to be clear. I deserved the sentencing I got. But myself and many of the officers reflected the ignorance of the time.)

omg

Can't speak for adult prisons but I know that in the 80's a lot of the screws in detention centres and borstals were sadistic child beating bastards.

Amazing...really excellent piece of work.

They gave them the liquid cosh And a general beating, then all the screws stick together and say he fell or threw himself around his cell..

How sad that we used to see things that way

That session with the chaplain was pure magic....what a good soul...not the side -burned Welsh twat who obviously wanted to hang everyone....imbecile.

Just shows what a creep you have to be.
