    A friend of mine found a pile of clothes in a ditch near his house and there's a tag on a Adidas top saying 158 CHARLES FAULKNER

    Just have a look at the over of the Suday World. If it's him, it'll be there.

    TYhen check your windows and doors. Someone out there is an escaped serial killer.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Definitely an escaped killer. The next time you hear a strange noise outside, it's best to do like they do in the movies and go outside calling, "is someone there? Helllooo, is anyone there?" Don't rush as you investigate around your house in the darkness.

    Government buying addias clothes for prisoners, rabble rabble :mad:

    What's wrong with Pennys or unbranded clothes?

    In fact they should sow and knit their own clothes!

    Don't know if its the same in all prisons but family can bring clothes in for prisoners in Portlaoise. Not necessarily government bought.

    A quick 'google' search reveals Charles Faulkner to be an American snake-oil salesman currently living in England, so now we know where he's at, and what he's at, arrest that man!

    Clothes can be brought into prison, as far as I know for laundry purposes they have id info.

    In all prisons the family can bring up a certain number of sets of clothing (3 I think) and the prisoners number is put on so that they don't get mixed up with another prisoner of the same name.

    every prisoner is identified by name. they also have a pris number.

    The same way students have student numbers.

    Its just for administration reasons.

    You forgot the obligatory bring a black guy with you. They always die first thus giving the op a chance to escape.
