Episode #54
ANOTHER BONUS EPISODE. Continuing with my informal research, I recently managed to catch up with Criminology lecturer Michael Cawley from Edge Hill University, UK. This is a fascinating interview and insight into...
Episode #53
"They say things come in threes. Well, I was 23 years of age, a flawed man with a ferocious appetite for removing valuable objects from their owners. I had a gambling habit to shame an addict, and a taste for the wrong...
Episode #52
Continuing with my research and interviews, I managed to catch up with what I like to call one of the 10 Percenters, a former prolific burglar and jewel thief referred to in the old days as The Cat. Daryl had a life...
Episode #51
BONUS EDITION AS PROMISED! At the end Series 1, I said I would be exploring two questions: 1. Why is society fascinated with crime? 2. The 10 percenters who don't re-offend or return to prison. My first interview is...
Episode #50
Thank you for listening to Tales From The Jails!! We've reached the end of Season One, my first year of incarceration, and are pressing pause on the podcast, but we will be returning in the New Year with Season Two...
Episode #49
It's the 25th of December, 2016. Imagine waking up on Christmas morning with a person you only met a few months ago, not your partner or soulmate, but your pad mate, in HMP. I'm on top bunk and he's down below, two...
Episode #48
It's the 16th of December, 2016. It's Friday. Today HMP Birmingham has turned into a riot, resulting in a complete meltdown. The official statement as of 5:00 PM is control has been lost. The G4S private prison has...
Episode #47
It's official. Toenails has left the building. There was no real camaraderie. Number 1, a fellow Despicable, walked with him to the meat wagon. From the rest of us however, it was more good riddance than au revoir. The...
Episode #46
Breaking news. It's just been unofficially confirmed. Toenails departs in two days. Cat D. He's hanging on in reception by his grubby fingernails and his days are numbered. And if he's caught doing anything untoward his...
Episode #45
I have said many times, nothing and no one is sacred when it comes to Scousers, even more so in prison. Inside HMP, in many ways it is like falling down Lewis Carroll's rabbit hole on acid and coming through the other...
Episode #44
Scouse Rambo is the first to admit that his drink and drug use is way beyond that of recreational. He tells the lads that he once collapsed in a field at Glastonbury, doesn't remember how he got there but when he came...
Episode #43
We're full to capacity in Walton. We never went to work on Saturday because we were full. History in the making, again. The news before we left for work this morning was that a prisoner commits suicide every three days...
Episode #42
The local BBC news is outside the prison, and officers are striking outside. It's chaos beyond the door and we're subjected to Christmas ads playing every 12 minutes on TV, on almost every channel. During the three and...
Episode #41
Only 48 hours ago, mobile phone footage was uploaded to the net and social media of 230 inmates in HMP Bedford running riot and out of control. Day by day the broken prison system is making the headlines. During the...
Episode #40
How do you respond or react to someone when they are seemingly happy and you feel lousy? It takes on a whole new meaning in here, manifesting in anger, violence or malicious acts to derail your happiness. During the...
Episode #39
As I settled and focused, there was a young inmate slumped on the floor with a bed sheet noose tied around his neck. He was alive, but he was desperate. During the three and a half years I was in prison I wrote over a...
Episode #38
By seven o'clock this morning the BBC was reporting a man knifed and dead in Pentonville, two seriously injured and two arrested. By the time I'd put the phone down on T, a guy had been slashed in the showers on the...
Episode #37
The constant level of juvenile behaviour is beyond what you can imagine, but at the same time it has to be taken seriously because of the ever present violent undertones that lurk. You may be surprised to hear that...
Episode #36
Any one of us can be attacked or caught up in a violent episode, and potentially or probably be knifed, slashed, coshed, swilled, strangled or battered brutally and viciously. Who do you become as a result of any of...
Episode #35
Self-harming is as common as the cockroaches that appear each evening. The place is infested with self-harming severe mental health issues and men attempting suicide daily, to the entertainment of far too many lads on...
