Don't worry, you usually need about 90 convictions before it becomes a possibility.

Crazy prisoner and they put TVs behind glass for him... Take the fuppin thing out altogether.

The old "disadvantaged area" bullcrap. There was nothing for us to do, it's the fault of society, ah give me a break

Atlantic Dawn

Any use? I might watch it on the plus 1.

You'd often hear on the news how prison was full of drugs and I used to wonder how the clever inmates managed to get it in. I see now it's just passed over during visits. How silly of me to assume there would be no chance of contact between inmates and visitors. Can we not afford screens in the visitors rooms???

The governor of the west wing just had screens installed. That'll be interesting when the prisoners find out !

A job I would not do for love nor money.

I 100% agree with you

Scumbag caught bringing drugs in, gives out about his cold cell and asks can the heating be turned on! Looks like a the holiday camp it's supposed to be. Fresh branded food shipped in every day. Only the best for the boys...

So far my impressions are dive of a place, I guess all those prisoners who decided to let their face be shown have no intention of ever integrating with society or doing a days honest work in their life.

vicwatson

Looks like they go in there for a break from the missus, from the ones I saw none of them will turn their lives around, not a hope, they don't want to anyway.

Interesting show I thought and yeah I'd also never work there for love nor money

I couldn't help but notice that when the food delivery came in there was boxes and boxes of branded Weetabix, surely they could source an unbranded equivalent for much cheaper.

Probably hard to get it unbranded as part of the delivery contract.

Great day for TV3, they get the Six Nations from 2018 and then Mountjoy goes in to lockdown which should generate lots more interest in the show...

Didn't see last week's episode. Only watched tonight from hearing it was good.

Really enjoyed it. I like shows like this pretty much from watching Louise Theroux do similar shows in the past.
