My prison experience

The Secret Barrister book is a very eye opening account of UK justice which echoes a lot of what you’re referencing.

“A Bit of a Stretch” is another interesting story about time inside.

Both worth reading.
 
I've got to ask but why did they search the cache on the computer 4 years ago?

From my understanding theres a pretty high bar needed to confiscate and search your electronics

Yet they confiscated henry nowak and his father's phones?
 
calling the cops seems reasonable, i wouldn't tackle a radioactive penis either.

LOL

But yeah on a serious point I can see why calling the police was appropriate there.

What is confusing is the images thing - cache from 4 years ago after accidentally stumbling across them. It does seem off that OP couldn't enter a guilty plea for the indecent exposure (after all he did do that) but also not guilty for the images and fight that one in court - surely the reason for being on remand gets negated if the false imprisonment charge has been dropped and the indecent exposure plea has been entered.

Seems like a failure on the part of the system if that can’t be taken into account - like OP would’ve already served his time (perhaps more than he’d have needed to) by then so ought to be released and bailed on that outstanding charge if it’s to go to trail.

I'm going to assume that GMC investigation was a referral from an IOPC complaint against the custody suite/force?

I ask, as if not, there should be a complaint in about the police force you were detained in as well. Whole thing seems terrifying though thanks for sharing.
 
Sounds horrendous, but chin up, if it had happened in America the police would have probably shot you in the hospital.
