His family lived in Staff quarters basically on the same site. If any one went AWOL we always heard about it and it only ever happened about once every 2 years. The inmates new that if they ever did go AWOL and were caught again it was straight off to HMP Bristol with an increased sentence and no retrial or appeal. I believe this is why few of them ever did, and yes the prison did house murderers, rapists and armed robbers back then but these were generally people nearing the end of their sentences.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3875365454966245098.post-65743291795597871032014-08-01T13:43:03.572+01:002014-08-01T13:43:03.572+01:00If the sold all those old sinking prisons in Londo...If the sold all those old sinking prisons in London alone, the money raised would be able to build new one's. But given the ineptness and the sheer corruptness of government and civil servants, they would just pi$$ it up on some enviro-looney-tune idea, or give it to the EU.Mr. Mordenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11658818033526024457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3875365454966245098.post-65677578991324798702014-08-01T09:31:41.327+01:002014-08-01T09:31:41.327+01:00Did you ever watch 'Escape from New York'?...Did you ever watch 'Escape from New York'? Perhaps we could try the Snake Pliskin method?<br /><br />All you have to do is implant an explosive device in the prisoner's carotid artery which has to be reset every 24 hours at the prison. Then if you abscond, it goes off and kills you. <br /><br />Mind you, it might get a bit messy and assumes that these people aren't thick - which they clearly aren't because the keep buggering off...Dioclesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08139646438543954337noreply@blogger.com
