mod edit: rant not associated with original question and after multiple warnings

What amazes me is if the government want to build a new prison all the bleeding hearts are up in arms if it is in there neighborhood. Bury your heads in the sand Let someone else deal with the mess as long as it doe's not intrude in to your world.

Lets get one thing straight it was never about money, I earned a decent wage/ had a fairly good standard of living. If you love this scum so much take one of the young ones home,bring him up with your wife and kids and set him on the right path...I don't think so. Its a great life when you...

Sounds like you would be more suited to join the animals I was guarding after all it is do it there way and no other way. I think they would welcome you with open arms

HAHA I dont think the staff at Gitmo or there familys were being intimidated, How many staff at Gitmo lost there lifes for working there?. At Gitmo the staff ran the place...not the prisoners. A official report of what was going on at the Maze Long Kesh earned its reputation as a POW camp...

Alive and he never attemted it again in my time there

I can accept that is how you feel to each is own. But if it has not been taken down by a mod or the board owner I assume I am within the TOS. As I said I am cynical and very black and white I think if all dirty laundry was aired in public there would be less going on behind closed doors and the...

You are correct. A lot worse went on in the NI prisons from both sides. But I will say any inmate that did not cause trouble was treated more than fairly in fact they had concessions that the prison rules say no to. You had best know that all political (and I use that lightly) prisoners spent...

Inside long Kesh http://vimeo.com/6395195 notice the blocks were referred to H blocks inside the control room and no prisoner ever got inside there

And I dont believe you were in the NI prisons, any officer in any Ni prison knows what the crum is and the county it is located in Easy Belfast Co Antrim. J. Hanna its not make up its on record like it or not. Good reading for those that dont know what life in there is like...

Did you know this guyhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Hanna_(prison_officer) , he also served in the crum

Yes Crumlin all staff referred to it as the crum Co Antrim and that is where I lived until I moved to county Down. I never new of any officer that referred to them as a house. The correct name is Long Kesh it became known as the Maze because of the compound system with the very high chain link...

At the crum. House 2? the Maze had no house,s they were H blocks and before that compounds.

Tell that to the PO chewed me out one day for eating a jam tart that had been made for prisoners.....he was shot in the head at point blank range one day as he left the prison. And that's not mentioning all the other staff that were killed from basic up to governor. What prison did you serve in?

After serving three years in NI with the army then six in the Prison service you become hardened. Maybe a little insight would give you a idea of the staffs state of mind. One morning there was a explosion inside a cell, we later found out that plastic explosive had been smuggled in and a...
