Scottish Fixers in custody in Polmont Prison hope their film will change negative misconceptions about young offenders. More here about their campaign: www.fixers.org....
This is the real polmont if you choose to use the place to your advantage! I walked out qualified bricklayer, pool life guard, first aid, adult basic literature teacher, British weight lifter award. Ie wieght instructor. Bio hazards list go's on been 15 years out cant rember all. This isn't about what I done mostly all the troops were! Fuck wee Branigon became a Hollywood star after doing a drama class there.
Ppl think just bcoz your inside they label you a nobody a lost cause but there's very very bright ppl in the jail who defo need the 1 wee chance to excel
I unfortunately had to spend a short period on remand due to being kicked out of my house and not having a bail address this was possibly the worst time of my life but inside polmont I Was supported not just by the officers but the boys them selfs I thought I had ruined my life but the boys told me it wasn't that bad as long as you are not acting like an idiot most people will accept you not nearly as bad as people make it out to me since I was realised I have a full time job and my own flat

you get it easy in jail firstly u get locked up at 8.45 at night then u have a nice tv ... more things to do through the day i was at norwich adult jail for 5 years and i got told when to piss and shit the screws treat u like a peace of shit we get locked up every night at 4:30 you guys get it easy
that's the point- they don't want them to feel like criminals because that might make them offend again, they are trying to teach them that what they did was wrong, although that doesn't mean they aren't worthy of a second chance. how you were treated is wrong, and that's what we are trying to change.
A link to this should be on the Families website, set some parents etc minds at ease.
Enjoyed this film. Have always wanted to see a well shot film set in Polmont, there are stories to be told in every cell

The problem every prisoner faces starts when they get out as that's when life gets hard. I know as I've lived it.

Why would you get remanded for getting kicked out of your house ?
Thanks for sharing this Craig, hope things are going well for you now, Séamus
M C if you don't have a fixed address and are due to go to court you will be remanded in custody till your case is called
Tell that to Katie Allan & William Lindsay.
wow wish things like this were more publicly available
