Everyone has dodged the real issue. Unless it's your cup of tea I think the 'picking up the soap in the shower' moments would be those that I'd fear most.

Seems like others have the same idea:
It's a potential plan D anyway...Pentonville prison in Holloway road, Islington, fills up each year just before Christmas with homeless guys looking for food and a bed over the holiday. I remember one shoe shop owner who got bored at having his window broken each year and whoever broke it standing there waiting to be picked up by the cops, taxi to the nick, bed for the night, magistrates next morning and 3 months holiday with pay to look forward to.

Make that plan C. Or maybe B.I spent 18 months in prison for GBH, after beating someone up who broke into my house.
It wasn't that bad, just boring at times, and I missed being with my girlfriends and kids, the very people I was protecting the intruder from.
You have a TV in your cell, a kettle in your cell so you can make your own drinks, you are given tea, coffee, powered milk, and a few sugar sachets either every day, or a larger bag each month depending on prison.
You can buy a CD/Stereo batteries or mains, mains is better as the batteries would cost too much. I just bought a cheap clock radio, wanted to save my money.
You get one free letter to send out each week, you can buy paper and stamps if you want to send more, I didn't need to as the prison staff were happy just to let me have 3 or more paid for letters a week.
Some prisons have a video channel piped through to the cell TVs, others have a DVD player in the TV room, all would be showing the latest pirated films.
When I was there you could buy most things out of the Argos catalogue.
You have to be awake by a certain time, and either go to work or to education.
In the evening in the last prison I was in we were free to walk around outside in a big field, go the the library, the gym or just stay on the wing and watch TV, play darts, snooker, pool, table football, have your hair cut 'if you wanted it'
It was pretty easy going, most people wanted to do their time in peace, so most people got on, very rarely was there any real trouble.
Some times sex offenders would be found out as most are mixed on the wings, though they could ask to be 'segregated' and put on a special wing, though not all on that wing will be sex offenders it could be vulnerable people too, but everyone on that wing is tarred with the same brush, it used to be called rule 43, but the rule number changed sometime back, it did say in the handbook what it was, but as it didn't affect me I couldn't tell you what it is now.
If I didn't have friends and family I missed so much, prison would have been very easy, and wouldn't say it would have been a deterrent, if I was that way minded.
I started off in Cat B and then Cat C, didn't make it to an open Cat D prison.
The food in the last prison was excellent, I put on quite a lot of weight.
You start on standard regime, if you cause trouble you are put on basic, which means you loose the TV, the use of your cd/stereo and recreation period. Too much trouble and you'd get sent down the block.
Some prisons have super-enhanced on top of enhanced.
I was able to have a quilt, in the prison I was in if you were super-enhanced and there was space on the wing, you could have a key to your cell, and Sky TV. The prison I was in before (got moved around) everyone had a key to the cell.
There were lifers/long term prisoners in both the Cat B and Cat C prisons.

My mate got put in segregation as soon as he went to a new prison because they thought he was a suicide risk ( big slash mark on wrist ). After a few days they let him out into the general population where he was a marked man becasue they figured he was a rapist, he tried to get the screws to tell them he was in for stealing a car but they just ignored him, they wanted to see a bit of fun. Anyway after a day of threats he said he was standing in the yard then everyone just moved away from him in the space of a second, some boy walked up and smacked a pool cue off his head, breaking the cue in 2.
When he got out of hospital they had found out the truth the whole block chipped in and got him a free month of drugs for his trouble. A touching end to a lovely story.Comment
