I was there for 18 months , I spent Christmas there , we had church service on the day, it was a full house , I got moved all over NSW and spent time in most of the jails in NSW ending up in Cessnock and Musslebrook , Parramatta was a piece of cake , the prisoners are what make the jail and the time I was there the inmates were pretty good and I was sweeper so I had a one out and stayed out of my cell longer than the rest of them . Prison taught me to never do wrong again , its not having freedom that wears you down , its the boredom of routine , every single day you do the same things at exactly the same time. you wear the same clothes every day , you have no rights and are treated that way . My experience made me a better person I never wanted to go back so I decided to be a honest person and my life changed dramatically . Good things happen to good people , bad things happen to bad people its as simple as that

Thanks for the footage. I spent 4 months on remand, June to September '91. There was a Fleetwood Mac/Stevie Nicks concert there once, was captured by a prisoner with a video camera. Appealing to anyone who has the footage to put it up and send me a link, thanks....

Do you remember a bloke who burnt down the Parramatta Cathedral, Feb. 1996? Just on the off chance you do mate. I was talking to this dude in Parramatta League Club one afternoon, said he was going to go for job interview, went and burnt down the church ffs.. I've long been back in New Zealand after my Aussie experience, got whacked tonight and randomly remembered that church burning..He musta gone Parramatta Gaol..looked like Abraham Lincoln..

I think you and I were there same time, I found Parra jail to be OK as far as jails go, Silverwater is a bad jail, I was in 2 wing , across from your wing, I had a C2 so I was straight in as a sweeper, came down from Musslebrook for fighting, musslebroom us like a holiday camp

How many laps have you done up & down that quadrangle, games of touch footy on the oval, showers with thongs in that filthy shower block😂, running up & down them stairs when you're on the top landing🥵, ice bottles in the wing fridges on the bottom landings, for in pillow cases😂, punching on over the phones with the Leno's, while the Asians are catching pigeons on the square to cook😂. The brothers are playing touch footy on half the quadrangle, the islanders are playing basketball on the other half, while the Aussies are walking laps in between with their red plastic coffee cups & ox telling stories to each other while getting in the way of both other sides & always turns into a couple of fights before afternoon lock in muster is called at 3:15 pm, & then we'd collect our dinner, desert & 6 slices of bread & straight to cell for lock in, another day done by 3:30 pm, & the jail was quiet?. Do you remember that😜?.

Yeah jail is easy that's why so many are institutionalized and 80% return. to me it was like going back to high school except the playground is much rougher lol. I remember everyone talking about the RSPCA wouldn't accept it as it wasn't suitable , but that was only because of the stairs and the assessability was not right. Jail is a place where your life is on hold and you are in a structured routine and you are told what to wear and eat and when to wake up and so on and so on, that is the hard part and if you are in maximum like silverwater then its horrible

I did 8 months there and i can tell you there are a lot worse jails in Sydney , Silverwater jail for one , way worse , run by the lebos , I had a one out in Parra I had it good big cell compared to other jails , I had good buy ups and a tv and kettle . Did some time at Long bay that is nearly as old and ten times worse
