Life On The Inside - RTÉ 1

Lapin

Filmed over the course of a year, this two-part documentary series enters two Irish prisons and explores life behind bars through the eyes of the prisoner and of the prison officers.

Link.


Looks interesting.

Lapin

Jesus. €65,000 a year to keep a prisoner in Wheatfield. :eek:

JonathanAnon

And who's fkn fault do you think that is Colm??

COYW

He never set out to burgle people's homes. Must have done it by magic. Smuggling drugs in with the kids and yet people whinge and moan about human rights because they are searched.:rolleyes:

The budget won't effect you son. You will still get your free meals and board. That chef seems like a lad who is decent enough. He won't be going back in there.

lad from Cork (drug addict) seemed like he is trying to get his life together. Good luck to him...

€65,000.00 x 700 toerags = €45,500,000.00 for just one prison.

What about the victims of his crimes who are scarred for life.scumbag.

vicwatson

Colm is off to the holiday camp, shelton abbey

Lapin

Prisoners complaining about the dessert.

Could be worse - They could be having garlic pie labled as apple tart !

vicwatson

Your man is in jail for life and he has a girlfriend, okayyyyyy

JonathanAnon

Funny how they all see themselves as victims!!!

Did you ever have any of these lads in the back of the taxi, Lapin..

JonathanAnon

It's always good to make a good impression when you're entering a new prison.. I read that in a self help book..

What do you think and what's your point?

No wonder were broke. That is more luxury than most law-abiding tax payers will see this calendar year.

Colm isn't going to be able for this place, I fear.

JonathanAnon

Jesus Christ, it's like Butlins for scumbags..

I wonder how much investment the State put in to their victims' recovery.

Frere Jacques

Did Officer Gillespie say, "there is no smoking in the house, you can smoke in the bedrooms?".
Roll on the compo claims for the next 10 years.

He is in for murder. That is a long time; his ex-"girlfriend" is probably married with two kids but has wisely decided not to tell him.

If I had a taxi I wouldn't be waiting for 2 hours to get home last Thursday night.



Shelton Abbey looks more like the setting for Educating Rita than a prison.

seachto7

Addiction is a terrible thing, drives people to break the law. What's the difference between that ex heroin addict, and someone like Keith Richards or Pete Doherty? Pete Doherty had the cash to indulge himself and not go rob people....

Lapin

I thought McDowell closed down Shelton Abbey when he was in Minister for Crime Justice.

Lapin

Kleenex for this con.

baldbear

Is that a prisoner joyriding a tractor?

COYW

Dabbling in drugs = caught with €350,000 worth. You have to love the stories these guys spin. This guy has potential for change. At least his sister is honest about that "prison".

vicwatson

baldbear

He seems like a decent chap. I hope he sorts his life out.

mikom

Where is Adebisi?

vicwatson

All those gits have got very NEW, very EXPENSIVE trainers, I can't afford a pair of Adidas or Nike - crime does pay obviously

I was just saying this span new 100euro+ trainers really make you laugh.

vicwatson

Smug Kitchen git, grrr, 20 years of his 53 years spent in prison - should throw away the key on the F*****, that sh1thead is costing us honest people a fortune.

baldbear

Dermots a bollix. 20 yrs robbing. Could he not just get a job in a kitchen.

mad m

This fella, taught nothing else, in and out of jail for 20 years.....Not great at being a criminal....

vicwatson

Nice Peter Cetera in the background while you get your washing and cleaning done eh

Horrible chip-no-your-shoulder merchant. He shouldn't be in a open prison. He has no remorse for any of his crimes. It sounds like it all someone elses fault.

"Everybody needs a little time away"

Funny feckers.

Relaxes from what ?

I missed the bits where it was hectic or stressful during the week. They have a gym too, I see.

Why don't you just change the f**king channel then.

mad m

Ah that's terrible no tobacco

vicwatson

Why do scumbags look like scumbags? They all look the same

"Catherine, get the drugs out, I'll be home in a hour"

briany

Shelton Abbey - Historical surroundings, amenities, accomodation and scumbags.

RayM

Seriously, this is nothing like Butlins. When I went to Starcoast World in Pwllheli in 1995, there was no such thing as early release.

JonathanAnon

Getting all dressed up .. Good man, go home now make a few more babies before you get banged up again..

vicwatson

Wow he lasted 7 weeks - bravo Michael

baldbear

Aghh Michael i had such hope for you! Fool.. Michael's back on the gear.
