I remember strangeways when It was a prison. It was not that different than this minus the women and three to a cell. The screws were bastards. Ended up on D1 ( the block a few times). April 1990 changed everything. ( riots) its was a rat hole. Never ended up back ever again. Its a mugs game going to jail.

Prisoners nowadays all act like a bunch of wild animals in the zoo. It's strange to see the prisoners in this film acting like actual decent, civilised people. The shot that really made me feel any type of sympathy was the shot at the beginning where the camera holds on the man with the fluffy blonde hair holding his face in his hands, defeated, alone, without his kids or his wife, possibly crying. It's a poignant shot, very powerful.

"Five star hotels" ? You wouldn't last five minutes in one of those "hotels" sunshine. The extortion, the violence, the screws that can't be arsed doing their job (& for the money they get, you can't really blame them), hotels they are not. You clearly don't have a bloody clue what you're talking about. Muppet.
