Its fucking blatantly obvious you have never been sent down schleed, been in two myself, I know what the Hades I speak of. Do you? or are you just pulling such hackneyed, false and empty SHITE out of your arse to hear the sound of your own voice?
Conditions in the first one of two were SO decrepit and generally fucked, that do you know how one guy got himself a break from his wing?
Poor rotten bastard stuck a snapped off broom handle up his chocolate starfish and jumped off the top bunk in his pad.
No matter who you are, unless you are something like a shao-lin monk, or ex navy seal, there are always going to be bigger, harder, brain-onation rejects (despite sales tag reading-one prev. owner only, never been used') who will take anything as excuse to probe, like wolves, for a weakness then move in without mercy unless put out of action quickly, painfully and efficiently.
Happened to me. I preferred to take my 'food' somewhere out of the way, I.e my pad, and eat there, some big dirty great prick just felt like KOing me, no way I could beat him physically. Fucker shouldn't have started shit with an autie biochemist.....*smiles nastily at the thought of what that cereal did to him........*
Got cat-A'ed a while after that, but after he go out of hopital he was too far weakened to pose any threat, a big bastard, but a stupid fucking thug type that evidently had no idea DIY NBC (minus the 'N' bit)
Aside from a TV, a blanked, and the chance, if able-bodied and there IS work, to slave for way below minimum wage, in order to scrape together enough coppers to buy some tobacco, toiletries and snack food. The ONLY luxury goods in there of any kind, are hideously expensive weed, and less pricy, but shite deals and the quality...I wouldn't fucking bother handing over 4oz of bvaccy for one measly wrap outside.
And yes, I was remanded, a miscarriage of justice. Only the once, the reason I got cat-A'd and sent to max sec I don't know.
I found the conditions in there much less primitive and altogether not so fucking sick in the head, a lot of lifers, rather than just teenaged spotty little brick-fodder, lags with a looong arse sentence just tend to want to get by, live and let live, serve their time peacefully, then fuck off if they can.
