2 Years In Prison - A Man's Story

[cheechm]

All rather horrific. Sometimes you've got to learn a lesson I suppose.

That bit did make me feel uneasy.

It is horrific and I couldn't begin to imagine how I could in such a place.

Good thing I don't take anything for granted any more.

I enjoyed reading that, if that's the correct word to use.

Thanks for the link.

Great read, thanks for the link!

Really does just make you realise how much prison screws someone up, and if in a high security prison, any sentence is a life-sentence really. :|

Just read the whole thing in one hour and a half sitting, was a really good read, cheers OP

 

[THMRK]

Utterly nightmarish but completely fascinating all the same. Great read and a great find. Cheers.

How cheerful!

God what a harrowing, depressing read that pretty much confirms my ideas of what prison must be like. For me, the threat of prison I think will deter me from commiting a crime.

Incredible stat that the USA will soon have 3m people locked up in prison, thats just insane!

Woah long read was great. Really brutal over there. My uncle was in jail for 4 years in usa and did 14 years down London for attempted murder a few years later and came out fat saying our jails where like a blooming holiday camp compared to the us.

Read this a few weeks back was a good read.

 

[wilko49]

wow... sounds like hell.

Even with UK prisons being less ****** up than the US ones, I never want to go inside. Especially after reading that.

 

[Beren]

Great find OP thanks.

 

[fez]

Our prisons are like daycare compared to the american ones. I thought that it didnt sound like one of ours from the start.

I read that a week or two ago but will read again. It's interesting yet horrific.

 

[snowdog]

Very interesting read. People ( especially me) should really learn to appreciate the simple things in life more.

From what I've heard they most certainly aren't as messed up as what that guy is saying. I've had mates who said it was an 'interesting experience' and not much different from outside, apart from freedom loss. I suppose driving offences and armed robbery mean different prison types though.

A really good read.

If you found this story interesting then try reading 'The Damage Done', it's the true story of Warren Fellows, an Aussie who ends up inside Bang Kwang prison in Thailand, it makes most prisons in the world look like holiday camps.

Folks, I have to say it is a good read but the language is choice and there is graphic descriptives of drug abuse also so the link has been removed.
