I do not know this man but i am proud of him , he has faced his past and mistakes and he is making a real effort to turn his life around , real credit to him , i wish him a great future with his new life
I have watched all the videos with Keith in them from way back. That man has a lot to teach today’s youth and a prisoner reform board. I wish him all the best in life,from the bottom of my heart.
Another brilliant interview by Sam. He knows when to be quiet & let the conversation flow by itself. This shouldn't be a TH-cam channel, it should be a series of half hour documentaries on mainstream TV. All the very best for both Keith & Sam in the future.
hi sam its great to see kieth again always find your talks to to be really profound, sensitive and truly educational yourself and Keith really do provide a really important unique perspective its very important for us to gain greater understanding of the challenges faced by the prison environment and how such challenges affect the people within the prison system thank you for everything you do for us as a community you really do help so many of us I would like to thank Keith for sharing his story with us I truly wish you both success and happiness in the future have a nice day
Hope your well Sam . I just want to wish Keith all the best for the future he's been through the mill and come out the other side well done Keith keep your head up and stay strong .
This guy had a terrible start to life and I'm glad to see he's out and trying to enjoy his life. We need people like this talking to the youth today to warn them about Jail time and how it can take your life away from you.
The sad thing is, prison is only easy for those with no humanity. For the rest, who make up the vast majority, it eats away at your humanity. I think what we need is more tiers of prisoner, to give help to those who want to distance themselves from criminality, and separate them from those who thrive on it, and prey on them, unless they embrace their environment. Because sadly, to survive amongst the worst of people, you have to prove you're willing to be just as bad.
Love what you both said about prison not being a holiday camp ive had quite few people say ahhh prisons a holiday camp(they've never been to prison)ive been too strangeways quite few times aswell as hindley young offenders for very short spells all because of alcohol and drugs (mainly alcohol) and its a scary place to be,ive not been in prison in about 15 years i was sober for 4 years till last year,back in February this year i came very close to going back to prison,i turned up at exes pissed shouting my mouth off coz she owed me money police came i called 1 a homophobic remark an initially got charged with hate crime also threatened violence to 1 of the coppers, the hate crime was dropped to lower charge luckily and i got 12 months probation order,4 months alcohol tag,a fine,and a 12 months restraining order from ex wot neither of us wanted (the police made it happen even though ive never laid a finger on her)im 4 months clean and sober now, like u said sam you don't reckon u could do a long stretch i don't think i could either
This ex prisoner , didn’t learn about his criminality 30 years in choky seems a waste of a life , I would like to see more education in prison like craft courses brick laying plastering all aspects of building work , 2 of my relatives are in prison both have mental health issues, misuse of drugs and alcohol , me and my wife have tried to help them has been kicked out of homeless shelters what can we do? What can anyone do?
The main reason at present with prisons is mainly down to staffing levels so prisoners are locked up for longer so they can't obtain any form of education or courses so it can lower there risk which in itself is very frustrating for the prisoner therefor there mental health will suffer and also with drugs being everywhere prisoners are using out of pure frustration and if there serving an ipp sentence not knowing when there getting out can only impact directly on there mental health and there families also will suffer cos there serving the sentence also which most people don't understand so the home office need to get the staffing levels back up to safety levels cos it's dangerous also for them aswell as prisoners and more needs to be done with a care package for prisoners on release instead of just giving them £68 And leave them to it cos most will just come back mainly down to having nowhere to live so it's just a vicious circle which needs to be broken so the government needs to do more around prisoners upon release so I hope that your family member gets the help they need and doesn't get lost in the system through no fault of their own so good luck and take care bye Andy.
I found myself on the wrong side of the wall when I was in my late teens and that first time going through reception was enough to put me off ever wanting to go back in the 70s the place was my idea of hell. It was the most oppressive stinking miserable humiliating place I have ever been
Rehabilitation needs to be encouraged more. The best people to keep youngsters out of prison are the lads who have been in prison. Ex cons should be allowed to be probation officers after they have proved they have turned their life around. A part of that would be studying to be a probation officer.
Id argue I'm a better person because of addiction and prison. I went to such a dark place you couldn't pay me to smoke crack. I refuse it when it is around me. Mainly coke tbh. Not for me today I'm actually happy now.
great video Sam, really feel for the Keith... 27 years in prison, will destroy anyone's mental health.. nice to see he is seeing freedom at last.. si thi brother..
'I think prisoners should be compensated'. Well I bloody well don't! Having worked my arse off, studying, grafting, pushing and sacrificing for years and decades, I now pay 40% income tax. If you think I would want to work harder and harder, to give yet more tax to prisoners to 'compensate' them, you want to have a very very serious rethink. Try it, and watch millions of workers stop working.
@@RealPorridgePodcast You have missed the context. It is hardworking tax payers, already under incredible tax burden, who would have to fund that, and trust me we really do not want to.
@@markdennis930"millions would stop working" nobody has the bottle to stop working. Look at everything that's going on, do you see anyone downing tools? Peodo rings left and right. Government doesn't now it's elbow from it's 🍑 hole. The police are a joke. NHS crumbling day by day. Educational system has failed on so many levels, the wankers (sorry bankers) help run the monopoly that keep the rich where they are. There's more I can mention but I hope you get the point. I think the only time people have some balls is when there kids start getting affected. Most would rather pretend the problems don't exist and carry on regardless
You obviously haven't heard a word of what we said. The ipp sentence was abolished by a government you support because they said it was inhumane and barbaric, it was only in power for7 years yet there are poeple on that sentence who were given a 2 year tariff and r still in 20 years later. Its an abuse of power and criminal so my friend, you can't have it both ways, u either support crime or you don't. The government r keeping poeple in on a sentence that no longer exists and yes I agree with you, poeple in general who have been to prison don't deserve compensation however, u talk about your taxes....Well do you know that you r paying 40 plus thousands of pounds to prisoners that should have been released 18 years ago?
It is obvious that you misunderstood both Sam and myself. We r not saying that every prisoner should be compensated. What we r saying is that the government u support abolished the ipp sentence after just 7 years cos they said it is barbaric and inhumane, infact the politician who brought it in said and I quote...this was the worst mistake of my political career, y you may ask? Well there are prisoners who were given 2 year tarrifs and have been in 18 years beyond that. The other thing you mentioned were your taxes....Well my friend do you know you r contributing each year to the 40 plus thousand that it costs to hold each prisoner. Please don't forget this sentence was implemented for sex offenders and terrorist but the judges abused their power and gave it to who they wanted to give it too. Finally my friend you seem to be a hard working man so let me ask you this, you either support crime or you don't? It's your government who r commiting the crimes now by keeping people in prison on a sentence that no longer exists.
How do Sam and Keith as a straight goer looking in the whole system stinks proves to me prison is a money spinner about time the home office sorted it out absolutely disgusting
Sam one thing everyone needs is vitamin D so fresh air and sun is a must . Since watching your videos you have open my eyes to alot of things thank you, love to you all ❤❤❤❤
Hi it's nice to see that this very decent humans has been through the hell of prison inside an are still around to.tell there story. I can enfuresize because the time wasted I spent 1day to many. I first used heroin in prison because they brought in MDT mandatory drug testing I'm 49 yrs I began going to hmp when I was 17 yrs old cutting matches in 3 there does need to be a robust network I've been out 6.yrs I hope they do well all in our shoes chin up
By the way last sentence 1990. Slopping out, uniforms. Way stricter. There was still drugs coz i usedthem. Worked for me stoppedcrime started my journey to stop being an addict. Managed in 1999/2000. Cruel the ipp prison sentences.
Best way to describe my prisson is Pontins with a wall round it..... im not tough bird this job definitely isnt suited for me!!!.... but ive realsed i have other qualities FMI skills i care bit to much... and i can relate to alot of mental health issues and childhood traumas so i interact and talk and listen have helped alot of them from suicide and self harm.... its not all about bend uos,... and negatives which instant basic if tjey 3... i take em on yard,... just listen to there rants struggles, we not just prison officers, were nurses, councillors, mother figures, father figures, psychologist, listeners, we everything person they need in one, there in our care alot of them have made stupid mistakes, joined wrong friendship groups, have suffered PTSD... they only have us to help them cope.. and come.to terms with there crimes and Freedom taken away!!.... but u get the ones who young serve 3 uesr sentence in big mans jail cus they drug dealees and surrounded by big timers serving years years for same crimes these youngsters now learning how to do it bigger better supply... so prison has fucked them made it worse cus they be stuck in system forver.... drugs... comes guns... GBH... Murder.... Prison teaches Crimes by most manipulative clever Devious Physco Serial Offenders!!!
This guy is pathetic…….try going into a Thai prison……no tv, no pool, no x box, no showers, no beds, no medicine…….rice and water, 40 to a cell and infested with rats and vicious guards…….wake up!
Who wants to listen to criminals talk about prison life they don't want to do time then they shouldn't commit the crime then should they got no sympathy for any of them
If they've done their time and reformed, they deserve a chance. It's better to integrate them back into society, lesser social cost to society and communities
rough childhood ending with homelessness where prison just seems like bed and board. that's the most common background for a prisoner in the early days, they're not all career criminals and those that are just don't give a fxxk. why do we all have a sense of judgement? it is not for supporting the criminal enterprise, government. walk a mile in someone else's shoes and even then You can't judge anyone, rightfully speaking, other than your own self fella.
I do not know this man but i am proud of him , he has faced his past and mistakes and he is making a real effort to turn his life around , real credit to him , i wish him a great future with his new life
