Yes we have had this discussion before but I want to know what it is really like.
I want to know what happens day by day, what time you get up, what time you eat, what you are allowed to do and what you are not. I want to know wether prisoners are just put with any other inmate regardless of what they have done I.E would a sex offender be put in with a drug addict.
What do they do in prison and are they really locked up for 23 hrs. Also you hear about prisoners doing work, well what do they do and do they get paid.
If an inmate is admitted to hospital for some reason does that stay in hospital class as part of his sentence?
Tell me about prison life and tell me about members of the public visiting prisoners who may be in prison for a long time but have nobody to visit them.
Infact tell me anything about prison life, factual.........not fiction:)

fucking hell ...she's back ...
Im interested. while I was away Ive been thinking a lot and something I thought about was prison life. I also wondered what its like to visit a long term prisoner who has no family and what that entails. Also are you told the full history about the prisoner before you see them.
ahh you big softy.
do it. go on. then come back and tell us all about it. go on.
don't let it be one of those experiences in your life you only ever sat and thought about.
if you sort it out for yourself instead of asking me ...you'll start on an amazing journey of discovery ...the rewards are spiritual. you will be a fuller person.
do it do it do it.
Dunno if thats any use.
Thats rubbish, in the main its a lot worse than people think. Most prisons are awash with heroin are violent places.
I cant give personal experience with the UK's prisions but I know someone well who is in a US jail.
He was in medium security, this means you share a cell, get coffee, get exercise, more books allowed and more visits.
The jail then had a 'lock down' and all cells were searched. Two people in his cell had some string for their washing. They blamed it him and he was recorded as having 'escape materials'.
So from then untill now and for a while yet he is in maximum security. That means 23 hours a day in a cell by yourself, very limited books, TV only during that one hour out of the cell, no coffee, limited food...etc.
Then of course there is the occasional lock down where they can be in the cells by themselves with no human contact for days on end.
So, no, its not a nice place, its very nasty.
I dont watch that actually, although I used to love Prisoner cell block H and the theme tune to that programme is one of my all time faves
Im not sure about this visiting thing although I feel that I do have lots to offer the right person, put me in with a savage murderer or rapist then I dont think Id be much use, but for someone who has done some other non violent crimes I think id be ok.
Im seriously thinking about it anyways, just for them to have a visitor or someone to send them letters........will let you know how i get on.
In the US there are some charities which you can give to and they will help prisoners who dont have anyone. As in the US they, for example only get soap and no toothbrush, its only those with money that can have those.
I love that. They should bring it back. Old Lizzie was my fave.:D
I did too, mum used to tape it so i could watch it as it was on late heh. I loved b.
Dont you fucking dare tell me about real justice you pre-pubesant simple minded fool.
You know nothing of the US justice system what so ever and you know nothing about what prisoners go through every day there.
Real justice? In a land where they put in prison a greater percentage of their population than any democracy ever.
The abuses at Abu Grave arent that far away from what I have heard about going on in prisons there every day.
Why dont you just do us all a favour and go away. No one wants you on this board.
Being denied conjugal visits (and thus increasing chances of being raped) is being soft?
No, this is a serious issue, normally your 'contributions' to this board just wash over me. I cant find you offensive because your not smart enough.
However, I have a strong personal tie to this issue and for you to run off one of you views with no basis in fact on this pisses me off.
You dont think its that much like Abu Grave.
Well how about if there is any minor violation its common practice to strip prisoners naked in front of the whole prison then march them up and down. Then tazer them repeatedly, then put them in a cell by themselves with only a cup of water a day for up to 72 hours at a time.
Again I say, why dont you just fucking leave?!
Have you ever heard of an ex-prisoner who looked forward to being jailed again? No? Why, I mean, what's the big deal about being locked up for years with all sorts of dodgy people including dangeous maniacs and ass-rapists when you get to watch TV and eat those wonderful meals eh?
:rolleyes:
I dont hate you Lukesh, far from it, I'm just not sure what you are adding here.
Its just this one issue, the rest of your posts I could care less about.
I would love to see you actually taking in some of what is being said to you, but I fear you are not really listening to any of us and it shows in your posts.
"What we cant understand here is the fuss they are making about that Abu Grave place, we have stuff like that all the time. Why should terrorists get treated better than us?"
I'm glad your learning Lukesh. Keep listening, and remember keep an open mind, learning is good for the soul.
What about the immense majority who ain't?
and too many people are in prison for petty crimes when really they should be putting something back into community to make up for their contribution to makin their town a bad place to be in
The problem is that community sentancing is seen as a 'soft touch' by the public.
So let's go back to the point. Do you still believe prisoners our prisons are soft because some people have the "luxury" of a TV in their cells?
Just to butt in, i think prison is portayed very different to how it really is. People do say how its easy as they have tv ect. I don't beleive that though, if you have ever seen someone who has been inside, they will tell you a very different story. Plus if you ask me you can tell it wasnt nice & has a lasting effect on how they are.
