It is about a English prison but we have a similar justice system so if you go hot at the wrong time this might be a future

Somebody asked if people would go to prison for £10 million over five years...

Let me think about it...

I wish the system was harder to murderers and paedos though...

Quite an interesting account from "10 Pence Short", his prison diary extracts are an eye opener, as is the letter from the biker he maimed.

I'm about half way through the thread.

The following quotes are worth a bit of reflection:
