Which bunk is better in prison?

    Bottom bunk seems nice because you can put a sheet up and make a fort, but what if the person on the top bunk pees in his sleep? Top bunk has the pro of feeling less confined but you could get shanked through the mattress from the guy in the bottom bunk... :confused:

    Withotu knowing what getting "shaked through the mattress" is, what is so unique abour prison? Same could be said for any bunk beds.

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

    It's much easier to wash out pee, than a shank.

    So to surmise your question, 'when in prison, is it better to be a top or a bottom.....'

    I guess the answer lies in how effectively you can handle yourself in the showers. Good luck!

    ah, ok. Bottom bunk, so. Unless the guy in the top bunk is a 7 year old.

    shank or be shanked op


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,366 ✭✭✭✭Kylo Ren


    I'd always be paranoid the bunk would collapse if I was on the bottom.

    Here is the best bunk.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,295 ✭✭✭✭Duggy747


    Well, you have to assert yourself once you're in prison and you have to show you won't take shìt from your cellmate if you're to survive.

    So, first things first, start flinging your poo at your cellmate. That should buy you some time on which bunk you want.

    Which is about as common in Ireland as purple polka dot penguins!

    You'd need a lot of wee to get through a mattress (even a prison one).

    I think I have watched too many of those American prison documentaries on youtube. :o

    Well if you're going to survive on the inside I recommend that you gt your self the "Oz" dvd box set and watch and learn.

    Remember news papers aren't just for reading, it also makes good body armour.

    Day 1: **** on a Neo-Nazi's face.
    Day 2: Find a homosexual sociopath to fall in love with.
    Day 3: Grow a beard.
    Day 4: Shank motherfuckers!

    Congratulations, you are now a hardened criminal! May you enjoy your remaining days in prison.

    I was thinking I could just make a lot of toilet wine, get all the other prisoners drunk so we could all be friends and party.

    True, but your little brother is less likely to stab you death in your sleep for snoring than some random rapist / murderer is.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,955 ✭✭✭Conall Cernach


    Fletcher had the top bunk in Porridge and he was an old lag so he must have had the best one.

    Kill your cell mate and then you can alternate between top and bottom bunks each night.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,971 ✭✭✭Holsten


    I know you usually have to fight to see which bunk you get.

    If you're a "playa" you get a bottom bunk, if you're a "mark" you get a top bunk.

    Read an article about Norwegian prisons, they actually look better than being free over here ! For all the banter here about Prisons being some testosterone crazed cross between Scum and Shawshank, most people in there probably sit around drinking tea and playing scrabble all day.


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


    The bottom bunk is actually the best as climbing up and down a ladder in the night to take a slash is annoying, Normally the prisoner who has been in the cell the longest will choose so most newcomers gotta go top..

    did Anders look particularly rattled? that twee place.. where you can massacre a load of children only to be denied face balm

    I don't care what bunk; you won't sleep well with a 3 man gang in a cell regardless. Where is option to drag mattress out onto landing

    Not directly at you charlemont but what you say reminded me of interviews Louis Theroux had with inmates of a Miami Correction Facility.



    At around the 28 minute mark, Louis goes into one of the cells where they discuss bunk privileges and who gets top or bottom.

    Holy moly...:eek: The prison cells look like they are straight out of an Ikea catalogue. If I lived in Norway, I would become a career criminal/serial offender or just commit a crime every time I want a free holiday. This is unbelievable.

    Wrong all inmates in Norway have to work every day,so they can give something back to society.
    And the point of being nice inside,is because its easier to get back into society when they are released.
    In other prisons in Europe and the US the criminals become even more criminal because of the conditions in the prisons.
    The hole point of going to prison is not to be locked up and throw away the key,it's about rehabilitation.;)
    Norways prisons have the best rehabilitation in the world.
