Holloway??

[puddicat]

Anyone Watching??

[baileybird]

Yes. Makes me mad.
Not a bad life is it?

[welshlibranr]

Not a bad life at all!!!

bailey seemed pretty cushy to me,considering holloways reputation,that young girl who caused staff problems had obvious mental issues!!!

[baileybird]

yes I agree on that one - she seemed quite disturbed, and putting her onto the streets in a one man tent is not good for her or any of us either - I for one would not like to meet her on a dark night when she chucked one of her moods.
I quite liked the look of the hairdressers, canteen, bedrooms, colour tv. gym, swimming pool and learning facilities though.

dont forget the �160 cash given to spend on drugs when you get out!!

[welshlibranr]

Yes! given the state of mind, giving her �160 and sending her on her way, with nowhere to go, was never going to work!

[baileybird]

what about the woman who purposely ran someone over - what the hell did she expect was going to happen to her? 18 months did not seem long to me.
There is little wonder the majority of the women end up back there - it seems a fairly decent lifestyle.
I hope the lass who was trying to get off drugs succeeded - i think she did - she was on Phil and Fern this morning but I was only half listening.

What I couldn't understand was why they left the wherewithall in the cell for the girl to keep making ligatures to throttle herself!! Surely a bare cell would have been safer until she had calmed down.

[baileybird]

most likley to be something to do with human rights - it normally is!

[JBR]

I can't help but think that the judicial and penal system in Britain actively ENCOURAGES crime!

[Philtaz]

It was a glorified holiday camp!
Typical of modern society that we spend more on feeding an inmate for a day than we do on feeding one of our servicemen.

21st century Britain, you can't beat it eh?

[puddicat]

The woman who said she stole to get back in to holloway,because she could get a rapid detox,has done really well and is getting there,one positive out of many negatives that came out out of that prison!!!

[mandimoo]

i am about to be made redundant and it made me want to retrain as a prison officer

[Memore]

my friend is watching it as there are loads of them chained to guards who go to her anti natal classes and gp visits in Muswell Hill! Would it be cheaper to do them all in one go at the prison
