Back in the day you go to Lambeth old in place where you get into the SweatBox they write on it where you're going to go and that was it you went Brixham Wandsworth Pentonville Scrubs anywhere that was at Lambeth
Imagine a prison sending 250 prison officers to court each day , let alone the ones that were needed to stay in the prison to work. Must have been why in the 1990s, private companies were brought in to do the court escorts. There wasn’t enough prison staff.
@@naxalite115 you are right, not many but a few, what about people getting found not guilty after months on remand they should get compensation as they were innocent men/women locked up for nothing in my view, they should be compensated for being locked up....having done nothing as Not Guilty means they were innocent...
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..
Unbelievable! A guy was was talking about spending 18 months in prison, 18 months of his life wasted, just to be acquitted and not given anything to show for it! Man I'd have sued the crap out of them for wrongful imprisonment!! 😡😡
@snowflakemelter1172 Well I've done my research and it looks like you're wrong. There you go 👇🏻, it's in black and white so I stand by what I said! I'd sue the fcking sht out of those pricks for wrongful imprisonment and get a big fck off pay check at the end!!! 🖕🏻 "Yes, individuals in the UK can make claims against the police for wrongful remand time. If someone believes they have been unlawfully held in police custody, they may seek legal advice and explore potential avenues for compensation or redres"
@@snowflakemelter1172something needs to change about that. There should be compensation because those people did spend time in prison without committing and offence
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.
@@Davey14yeah it was always fish and chips on Friday when I was in Armley, fucking rubbish fish, chips and mushy peas but still easily best meal of the week.
Dont break the law then. Simple. Victims you should be concerned about. At least they sent folk back to prison then! Streets are awash eith nutcases and junkies now thanks to fucking idiot left leaning enablers.
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?
I did 7 months on remand. Jury took ten mins to find me not guilty. Lost everything in those 7 months. They turf you out and just leave you to get on with it.
I never knew this. I thought those on remand found not guilty got paid loss of earnings or loss of benefits? Shocked they just kicked you out. My best mate was on remand for nine months, but he was found guilty at trial, and the judge banged him up for 12 years!
Was in all the prison in london in the 70 80s an 90s when i left the crime behind me i was a landing cleaner on all my streaches i was a landing cleaner on E1 the seg in pentaville i use 2 make a few roll ups 4 the lads down there then i caught putting roll ups under there doors lol i spend around 26 yrs in an out manily in loads ov times on remad in brixdon or the scurds C3.
All prisons are obviously fucking shite, complete waste of time but your there regardless so have to get on with it and make the best of it. If you don't act like a big man and act okay towards people then its not so bad and you meet some good lads and can have a laugh if you just be yourself. Nobody likes bullies and the con jails don't really have bullying that I saw, I'm sure yp jails are much worse for bullies but you'd just have to stand up for yourself I'd rather have to fight and get punched a few times than keep getting bullied.
I was shocked when I landed in the English prison system to find women who had laid on remand for 2 years. Then I found myself lying 6 months on JR with date to be fixed. That was a reality check.
