Are there any videos on Detention Centres, I went to DC first then two borstal, I did go to prison a few times after, but then I just grew up, got married, had four kids, and stayed out of crime, great videos, though it makes me feel really old.

done Portland borstal 1981, 1982 1983, done 3 stints first borstal, then a 4 month borstal recall, then in 1983 it had changed to yc and done 9 months, i was in hardy house, then Grenville house, then Rodney just before release, when i was recalled went straight back into Grenville, on my 3rd visit i was in drake house, had 2 Christmases in there 81 & 82 didn't have anyone to send money in for Christmas so had to settle for the queens £1.00 Christmas parcel, which was dried fruit juice , just ad water, and biscuits and a few sweets...no baccy i was education orderly, and was told i only got that job , because i had been back 3 time lol, learnt a lot but to me it wasn't hard, crazy now aged 60 and still have memories of the place, hard to wonder where the 41 yrs has gone since being there, can even remember the swimming pool there on my first wack, but closed by my 2nd 3rd time there, and also playing football in the old quarry lol, think my last weekly wage was £1.75 enough to buy 3/4 ounce of baccy and papers, still have my original education orderly photocopy pass, that i smuggled out of my radio , told the screw i lost my pass and got a replacement remember playing the screws snooker for a packet of biscuits or a mars bar if you lost regards to anyone who done the borstal training.

I was in Rodney house in 1983 1984, I was the house orderly for 4 months, after I’d done a stint in the laundry. Rodney was ok, the screws were good, Mr Blewit and Mr Pratt, the 2 brothers Brown. Mr Wensley and the unforgettable Mr Stone. He was ancient then. As orderly I was unlocked early, after the farm lad but before general unlock, so I could slop out and use the ablutions in peace. I wasn’t locked up over lunch or after tea, basically just overnight. I only left the house for meals and I served the food as well. Used to bring a big jug of sweetened milk back for the screws tea but I usually got mugged for that in the tunnel, by the time half a dozen lads had had a swig from it there wasn’t much left. Lunch time I played snooker with a screw, usually mr Blewitt, and I had to make up the kits for Friday kit change. No bed pack, no daily cell inspection and Saturday inspection was lay out kit but the PO didn’t check it. We’d all be in the tv room for Dallas. I had a little office thing like a small kitchen on the centre, with a grill and a toaster. I could make toast and usually I could have a coffee if I’d made some for the screws. No fighting in Rodney when I was there. Well only Paul Keating and Steve Sexton but they were from Cardiff and Swansea and for some reason disliked each other. they were ok individually. Some good lads there. The biggest twat was Pausy from slough. What a total cock.he was so stupid they had him in the cell with the padded edges and the bed on the floor. He didn’t fit in in Reading jail, and I couldn’t believe it when he appeared in the house, I thought we’d seen the last of him. He’s probably long dead by now.

@@chopchung I think part of that has to do with how Kes was filmed. Kes was filmed like a documentary on Barnsley and Barnsley schooling. It has a very gritty rawness to it that it can easily match a Man Alive documentary. It just shows how masterful Ken Loach was as an artist.
