Ithought it was going to kick off on Wednesday,about 10 of the inmates go marching to the govenors office they were told to return to their landings, when they did,  tv's went flying. We were all locked up i prisoner moved to another wing and another prisoner to another wing one of my pals who is a serious self harmer was jumped on by about 8 prison officers he was kneed and punched then twisted up and dragged down the block.  This is what I am on about officers and management behaving like criminals.

Blogs mum typing Internet keeps going down, one excuse after the other and blog unable to phone due to whatever problems that there are there. Hopefully will be able to type some interesting info for you all by about 4pm tomorrow.

Because it is lockdown today cant do much as I rely on my family to do my blog hopefully all back to normal tomorrow. Dont forget tom spread the word about my blog.

I am going to be looking for a lot of support soon as I am a discretionary lifer with a eight year tarrif and have just hit my 21st year. Where is the justice in that.  The rest uf the EU only do 15-20 years out of a life sentence then they are released, so why dont we sign up to the EU fully (is it because the goverment are scared of loosing power and control)

Cant beleive it we are on lock down today because he officers are going to a funeral as one of their collegues has passed away. When one of our family friends passed away I still had to go to work and was not allowed to the funeral because we were not blood related.
I think it a bit of a farce.

Lets talk about Self Harm in prison.

There is no understanding what so ever about self harming in prison. When you tell a screw you feel like self harming (and) do a good job. Even though they are aware that you feel like self harming they still give you a razor. The health care team dont really support you nor does the mental health team.
As far as they are all concerned self harmers are all attention seekers, but at the end of the day this is why there are so many suicides in prison. You put an application in to the safer custody team you dont get no reply just that alone says something. Some prisoners are barred from the listeners service and samaritans so they are left with no support what so ever. When you do self harm you go on your review board in front of the SO and he sdays to you stop Fucking about because you will never get out. I dont give a Fing dam. At the end of the day I go home.
A lot of the public think prison life is easy let me tell you something it is not easy at all. On 3rd September till the 7th I will put a blog up every day about my prison life and thoughts every night.

Dont forget to tell your friends about this blog.

Just got website up and running , had funeral Friday everything  up and running properly Tuesday.

Sorry for not updating Thursday internet went down, Friday was my mates funeral
need weekend to get over it all but will be back Monday or Tuesday which ever day I get the
info to type up.
Dont forget any questions or comments please ask , will do best to answer them.

OMBUDSMAN  

When prisoners make a complaint 99 percent of the time you will be given some bullshit by the scoobydoos you as a prisoner knows about PSO and PSI PSI and PSO are always 100% right but  still you complaint will come back with some old spill. So by rights when yuou go to the third stage which is the ombudsman it should be a open and shut case according to the PSO and PSI who should the ombudsman agree with if the PSo and PSI are  for guidance of running the prisons. In my 20 plus years I have made quiet a few complaints I always check with the PSO and PSI if I cannot find anything I always phone my legal team for advice, but yet you always get a letter back from the Ombudsman saying Dear Mr Smith your complaint has not been upheld,however you can go to the parliamentary and health service Ombudsman (HOLD ON A MINUTE I THOUGHT THEY WERE THE  OMBUDSMAN) so do we really need the prison ombudsman whenthey always tell us to go to the PHSO (I DONT THINK WE DO)
Take when there is a death in prison. Now the case is over I will use this case as an example.
1st October 2011,  2 sick prisoners saw another prisoner who was known as Mitchell Harrison to their cell they murdered and disembowled him. This brutal murder only happened 20-40  foot away from the office where staff were having breakfast and watching tv with the door shut. So is the ombudsman going to talk to all the prisoners who were on C wing when this murder was committed.
Lets see what bullshit the ombudsman comes back with, as always agree with the scoobydoos and cover things up.

MANAGEMENT AND OFFICERS BEHAVING LIKE CRIMINALS

I want to talk about prison bullying under offences against discipline it is also covered by prison rule (20) using threatening abusive or insulting words or behaviour is an offence against discipline according to the PSI 47/2011 paragraph 1.74.

So can someone tell me why I was never charged with an offence but put straight onto basics for allegations of threatening an officer  I was on basics for over six weeks.

For those who do not know what basics is basic is a bottom level band of earned privleges  not as a punishment. They use the IEP scheme as a punishment at HMP Frankland, I should have went in front of a govenor and had my rights because they are in black and white they think they are the law, I have seen the scoobydoo, in previous prisons myself and experienced management and scoobydoos,bullying prisoners. When I went on my review for my basic management said I dont give a fuck if you are on basics for the rest of your sentence, at the end of the day I go home, This will also be in the Inside Times newspaper at www.insidetimes.org.
