Quote from DavidFullard on April 9, 2024, 3:08 pmI don’t think I would have been suited to that life John plus I HATED bulling LoL. You will have read elsewhere my experiences in the AA Drill Course! Interesting you mention Charles Bronson, a psychopathic, brutal thug or a much maligned victim of ‘the system’ depending on whom one believes.
You mention courts I gave evidence in several Crown Court cases and the occasional High Court case whilst in the NHS before the advent of the NHS Litigation Authority.

Quote from jkwebster06 on April 10, 2024, 8:56 pmCrown Courts - any inmate we thought might be getting "lifed off" we, as escorts in the dock, had to surreptitiously move to a position to restrain him quickly as his sentence was announced. Most took it quietly, one or two didn't ! Charlie Bronson - strength of an ox, brain of a monkey. At Liverpool he got onto the roof by hauling himself onto the overhangs. He demanded a helicopter, £50k and loads more, but after a stand off lasting into the early evening (it was a nice summers day)he agreed to come down when a pal of mine promised him a Pepsi & Mars bar! He was shifted around the country to various jails, never being allowed to stay long in each - he never gave any trouble at Liverpool that I knew of & in his book he admitted as such, but described the food there as sh*t ! He wasn't wrong, although it did improve after the Strangeways riot. John (JKW)
