    Met this charmer a few times as a youngster. Makes my skin creep knowing what a vile shít he is.
    He signed 227 pleas, 103 of indecent assault, 24 of sex assault and the remainder were charges of different forms of rape including oral rape.

    Currently two sisters I know are locked up....one for murder and the other for drug smuggling. Also know another lad away for attempted murder with a shotgun and another away for a very long time for rape and murder.
    known many over the years jailed for drugs/robbery offences but then i did come from a rough area so it was kinda the norm to know some of these people.

    Yes, I know several who have been or are in Prison.
    Does anyone seriously believe that having been in prison means that a person is pure bad and can never do good, be good, or amount to anything?

    Hope not, but there's always some fukc-knuckle who thinks these things. Drugs possession and fines... Even the guy who bought my childhood home was in for tax evasion... That's not something I'd hold against someone.

    I think everyone knows rape/murder/etc are indicators of genuine kuntishness (though certain murders are understandable).

    I grew up with a friend who slowly, bit by bit entered a life of crime. Because it was so gradual and he knew I didn't want to know about this exploits which he did not tell me, I didn't really notice or care. Then boom busted... 9 years. He got out after 6.

    Nice bloke but got into smack inside and have barley seen him since he got out.

    Crime does not pay.

    I have an uncle who was interned in the early 70s and spent a couple of years in the Maze prison. The family are pretty sure he hadn't actually done anything, He was a bit of an idiot and was probably just in the wrong place and friend with the wrong people.
    My dad's cousin's husband got 25 years for terrorism charges of some kind but after he had served 2 years the 'supergrass' witness's evidence was thrown out and he got out. Again, the family reckon he hadn't done it, he's a really lovely guy and I can't imagine him being a terrorist but you never know.

    Believe me, Evil can be spotted no matter where you are, I know the minute I saw Gary Campion he was scum, Then a chap I used to know inside made me very uneasy the way he was speaking about women, Found out he had murdered a woman in Tralee years ago, That man will be a threat when he is released.

    What were you in for?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,605 ✭✭✭Fizman


    If she was caught doing what you say then she would be a liability to the staff. She would never be retained in that service. She would be a threat and would be searched every day several times before being dismissed for improper behaviour after being convicted in court of course.
    The only way she would still be there is if they could not prove their case, witnesses refusing to testify, but I feel she would have been transferred to another prison and be well watched.

    I have no idea if she is still working in the same prison as to where the actual incident occurred, but she is definitely still working in the same role she did before her suspension.

    I was in a holding cell for a few hours if that counts. :p

    I was the court clerk one day when a guy from my year in secondary school got sentenced to a few months. That felt a bit awkward.

    Our whole family thinks one of our cousins is in prison in America, nobody has seen or heard from the guy in over 10 years and his mother isn't very forthcoming on info as to what he's up to. She'll talk the ear off you telling you what his sister is doing though.[/QUOTE]


    Watch her - could be a KGB double agent!

    yeah I used to know this ahole when I was working in London in the 90ies, met him through a friend who was an old school buddy of his

    never liked him but he used to hang around with a few of us from time to time,

    always kept my distance especially when I heard he called his girlfriend\wife at the time "the panda" (because she always had two black eyes)

    Dont know about now but a few people I know have done time. Some fairly sound, others complete filthbags.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,555 ✭✭✭Sar_Bear


    A guy who was ahead of me in school has been charged with manslaughter. As bad as they may sound, it's a relief to everyone in my home town that he'll finally be locked up, he's been robbing, drug dealing and oretty much just terrorizing people for years.

    The general consensus is, he should have been locked up years ago, before he could kill someone.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,725 ✭✭✭charlemont


    What were you in for?

    Robbery. :o

    To answer your question Lividduck, this^^^^^.

    Everybody knows some scumbag who just keeps getting away with stuff, so the general consensus is that only the worst of the worst of the worst actually end up inside.

    As to whether people change or improve their lives when they come out, we can only hope, but in the majority of cases they dont. Ergo the impression that anyone who has already done time is now forever doomed to be on the dark side.

    Obviously there are some exceptions. Charlemont?
