    Great yarn , yeah QLD prison system is known as the worst, it’s weird cause the streets is totally different, hardly any crims compared to NSW & VIC, not as many drugs on the streets In QLD aswell , but the prison system up there is vicious.

  • @peterjones4734
    @peterjones4734 2 роки тому

    Obviously half okay but the rest is fantasy, if did time in the 60s and 70s , that’s when jail was real, H Div run by The gorilla Bircheck, Pentridge was a jail run by the true boys in Dodge City, B division for the men , A division for the educated and arse lickers, the the E div. for the yogis. Great guys and crooks who could be trusted, Dale Flannery, Nick and Steve Levidas, Kevin Taylor who chopped Off Choppers ears off later down the track.also my Waxer Laurie Pendergast who’s now swinging with the fishes, too many great names to mention. But that’s when men were men, then of course we had the E Div riots and the closing of Dodge Ciity ( C Div). Then they built Jica jica , what a waste of time and energy because that got burnt to the ground killing I don’t remember from smoke inhalation . Then of course the drugs got into the system and fucked so many great me,most lost their credibility such as turning dog., and then the system went to pieces with lagers. Police informers, fucking pedophiles, which all lead to wanna be gangsters high on the gear. So most of the stories you hear about the jail system are lovely stories of showers proper toilets,their own cooking facilities for the toasties at supper time while watching FOXTEL, Stan, Netflix etc.and having a swim in the swimming pool. Naw you wanna know about real jail talk to us guys who were in the sixties and seventies. Not the rantings of a wanna who thinks he’s an expert.. good luck …
