I agree completely that the history of what happened at Pentridge should be known by Australians, as the saying goes those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it.
Fuck Australia ..!!!! Fuck developers!!! Fuck your country Greedy fukn cunts...Shame on you..ufukn pathetic organisition..HERITAGE VICTORIA ..HOPE THE DECIDER ..COPS ADECISION...UDESERVE IT...UFILTHYSCUMM ...wheres H DIVISION UFUCKING GRREDY FLOGS...HOPE UR APPARTMENTS BURN TO THEGROUND...🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺✌️👎👎👎👎👎👎😠😠😠
i had just turned 18 when they threw me in here for non payment of traffic fines. In the few short months i spent in the remand yard followed by YOGS (young offenders group) i developed a deep distrust of government and humanity in general . This place was absolutely disgusting. It was my belief they created hard hatred filled criminals here. I remember looking at guards and wondering what sort of lousy circumstances led men to work here. I never became a criminal and it's been a long time now, but the human stain of this place never left me. They ruined my outlook on life and all the colour drained from my life.
Reading Ray Mooneys book on H Division and the 1972 Inquiry into H Division, terrible how the guards treated those prisoners and more shocking was the Jenkinson outcome
What was the Jenkins on outcome? I’ve done recent tour of D Div by Dennis Bear screw and Doug Morgan after dark bandit. Loved the tour, keeping Pentridge history alive
I'm disgusted to what has been done to that Site. Especially H Division. And Only Leaving D & A. I'm not even sure if the Wardens Quarters is still there opposite D Division.
Pretty sure I was the last American to be a guest of the Queen at the “bluestone college”. This was in ‘96. I was there with American Dave, good guy, staunch, it’s where I learned what it really means to be a convict. Americans here have no clue, they are all inmates.
I was there too, American Dave was constantly talking to the screws, he was also in for what was close to a dog crime. He only became known because of peoples fears he would blab to the screws about petty shit like weed smoking.
@@MrGlobalTransport we might b thinking of different people, the one i remember was constantly talking to the forbies and was in for a messed up murder of a woman, people called him American Dave.
In 2012 after my Dad passed away I was on Trove one day and typed my dads name in bingo there it was. In 1954 he was sentenced to 2 years hard labour in Pentridge for armed robbery!!! He never spoke of it.
When I was growing up I remember being told you keep that up you'll end up in pentridge. I never knew what I bucket list was back then but I sure as shit found out......
Whatever is left should now be preserved. I want to visit pentridge, I think ‘D-Division’ you can still visit. I agree with this clip. Heritage Victoria, you are disgusting.
Historical building,heritage Australia fucked up there,should have never been developed,especially from some Taiwanese power players,its a wtf moment,seriously
Yes it's a real shame what they done to pentridge prison... Ray is completely right victoria heritage should be shame for allowing a Victoria icon to be demolished
Hello matey I enjoyed your video my name is Sean Currey I spent years in H Division you are spot on with what you say I’d heard about the dungeons an the same in B Division where I spent lots of time believe it or not but at one stage I got bail an when I was found guilty I didn’t go to DDivision I was shackled up an shuffled to HDivision what for they said u find out in morning I was fairly thick set I spent my years on remand an sentences only short coupla years hear an there most of my time was studying law an weight lifting I became known as Hulk or Hulksta but that an the violence never fazed me I had couple of tiffs stabbings iron bars anyway I’ve been out of prison for 20 odd years I moved from Melbourne during there little war my best friend told me to leave because they will try to put you down for dirt nap I had a son an new wife an I didn’t want to but yes people thought I’d been shot but I’m bit of a step ahead of those clowns Where they now Thanks for the video hard memories you can never forget. 👍
I was over seeing my family in Melbourne 2015, I mentioned pentridge and they told me about it being torn down, I had to go see wat was remaining which wasn’t much, D division was still there and the main entrance wall was still there, I was gutted that probably 70-80 percent was gone. I couldn’t believe they were erasing history 😮 Consolation is I got some fantastic photos before it was all gone.
Such a shame 😞 an absolute 💯 % shame. And Shame on you Victoria your a joke for letting that happen and thanks Ray for the info buddy always loved listening to you when talking history and about your past 👍 absolute top bloke 🤜🏼🤛🏼🇦🇺
Danny - Why? What are you scared of? If a Prisoner is escaping, he's not thinking of hanging aroud your place, is he? He going to be getting the fuck away from the place, fast as he can.
Taiwanese .. What ....! This is Austrayla .... These Politicans we have are a Disgrace .. Support our own Tradesman ... Aussie's Why support .. Taiwan ..
Should have been heritage listed 💯 Can you find about some footage I saw about 20 plus years ago of Keith Faure talking to students in prison. It would be interesting to hear his thoughts after what has happened to him now.
I seen those dungeons in BDiv an I showed few blokes an we keep this to ourselves the gym was inside BDiv down where I trained an found before we knew it the gym was outside next to the pool then it was moved again to the chook pen lol if u wanted anything BDiv was like Fitzroy st any drug u wanted if u wanted gun nps Lots people don’t know about the goings on it was wild an I personally liked my jail time remand or sentenced on guns or alleged armed robs but our crew had fun we ran the jail not the screws Well thanks Ray I enjoy yor informational video no shit talk good man
I had the the mis-adventures of H Division, i was a prisoner there probably on 4/5 times from 74 thru to 79... I remember you as a young fella in A Division 197475 100% Ron. Good to be reminded of the reality in a real way. like yourself..ive swung the hammer.
Well think of that an that give u a tiny idea wat HDivision was like in winter summer was rotten hot no one was hosed down in summer but by fuc winter 83 I was chained to the floor An hosed with fire hose an that went on for week almost to I had a visit an I told the person visiting what was happening I was 20 this torture turned me into a very hateful towards any authority in the system I spent about four years in the 80s then Barwon supermax unit in 90s Acacia all for good order An management of the prison u look a a screw the wrong way An u could see it in there faces the fear u could cut the air in BDiv with a knife at times there was always something happening it was fun mostly I use to sit back an watch an laugh 😂 but it’s a serious shame what they have done to the place now shame on u all involved.
@@seancurrey.8279 I was at Parramatta in the early 90s for a couple, very overcrowded at the time and divided along racial lines. Being NSW Sydney it was sandstone as opposed to bluestone, not sure if that made it any better. Opened in 1798 which probably made it one of, if not the oldest operating prison in Oz at the time. Nowadays apparently people pay a couple of hundred to stay the night in a cell, how fkn ridiculous is that. Anyway mate I hope you’re happy and healthy and those days are well behind you.
@@billymack333 yes I am very aware I was in Parra myself for 6eeks I finally got bail cause had family ties in Sydney as well unreal coincidence or wat good luck matey stay cafe an stay in touch I hated Parra death trap in some spots in that jail 🍀🍀
He’s 100% right above. I went yesterday and I’m an outsider over here and I was expecting more. H Division was apparently sub human in what they done to people even rock breaking till 1978. Barbaric people the screws & establishment who ran it you’ll get your comeuppance somewhere else hopefully. . .
Years ago I watched a short doco made / directed by Mr Moony . Regarding Chris flannery & Pentridge ( Mr Rent a Kill ) . The tv series lead you to believe that Freeman / Mcpherson took care of him ? Ah what a crop of crap .
They were aware of it. They made others aware of it. You can speculate, no doubt you have nothing to base your opinion on. Unfortunately Roger will probably take it to his grave. Michael knows the truth. Hopefully Roger will tell him one day soon.
People behind it , are doing life sentences. One refuses to die , as much as he would like 2 , the other I like to call rocket man. In the end , Karma gets us all. Be good!

Thank you Ray for bringing this to everyones attention, you have done so much to document the Pentridge history, my sincere thanks.
Should've been heritage listed. Makes me sick what greed has done
It was they have to apply to construct and knick down heritage Australia gave permission
Fuck Australia ..!!!!
Fuck developers!!!

Why not just pay you’re fines
@@spannaspinna well you're a fucking moron aren't you, you need to get a little manicure of your toes my friend,
Jamie partlic is the reason fine defaulters dont go to prison anymore,tragic story
I hope you’re better emotionally & mentally. I hope you’re living a nice simple life someplace. .☘️😊
The redevelopment looks more like a prison than the old prison.
My dad my brother and my son father did time in here . I agree with you it is dispointed that heritage Victoria didn't protect this historic jail .
And what about YOU don't you dare let THEM down because it's in your DNA doing TIME YOU have to step up to the MARK 💯 percent 👍😂
Shame on heritage Victoria. Keep on telling it, we need more ex prisoners and old officers of pentridge to tell it the way it was...
I wouldn’t be able too knock it down as a worker too heart breaking
not doing too bad for 73
