I joined the service in 1975, this reminded me so much how it was back then. We had to wear the cap badge in our jacket top pocket in strange ways.I left in 2003. Loved my job, lots of laughs , good times, never assaulted and decent pension.

People make the error of thinking that all prisoners share the same personality. They do not. Some are organically psychopathic and some have been shaped by circumstance. Others have been victims from childhood and prison will perpetuate that. Some have low intelligence. Many cannot even read or write. Some are unusually immature, but not fundamentally bad. Many are the result of poor parenting skills and abuse or at least made worse by that. Ultimately the stick is necessary, but some can be acknowledged as lost human beings.

You would think they were talking about running a ship, army barracks or youth club.My time locked up in borstal and prison was very different to what's being portrayed.Most prisoners are victims of very serious crimes against them,child abuse,sexual, physical and mental.Most prison officers never got the training they need, some were alright others like that navy fellow just wants to stick the boot in like some imagined enemy he never found while serving in the navy.Anti-human, heartbreaking all round.

@@howey935 that doesn’t work, it was proved that shock treatment wasn’t a deterrent, borstals and detention centres were dissolved in 1984 because they didn’t work, I agree that they shouldn’t have PlayStation and tv in cells though, I believe they should only have a radio that works on batteries, no electric sockets in the cells. It’s gone to another extreme of being far too easy to be in prison now, basically prisoners are behaving the same way they would at home with games consoles and getting stoned to while away their days.
