    AKA Spanish windlass

    Only works if the bars are long, and "standalone" rather than fixed with cross bars in a chequerboard pattern

    Maybe the occasional person in prison is innocent?

    Though I am touched by your faith in the justice system.

    Think of the money we could have saved if he'd done it on remand.


    *Nice chap. Hit his gf on the head with a hammer & drove around with her in the boot of his car for a couple of days. She wasn't quite dead when he put in there though. And the **** nearly ran me over whilst he was doing it.
    Almost did us all a favour.
