    I spent 18 years in and out of Bar L. When I was younger You spent the night there and the next day you got shipped to Longgragend YO's Institution for a remand until you went to court. If you got a sentence you went to Polmont YO's, that was a Shit Hole! When you turned 21 you were a hairy arse Con and this is where you went Bar L. Anyway, I've been out now for over 12 years and I ain't going back neither.

    This is likely the only opportunity of a lifetime I get to view HMP Barlinnie (and not get in trouble). 😁
    Closure date likely depends on the 2025 completion of the new L100 million HMP Glasgow off Royston Road, north end of Provan Gas Works. Oct 2022 street view shows Kier commencing earthwork on the 54 acre site. Initial planning was August 2020 with addition building planning through 2023.

    I find it absolutely incredible that you go to these places and then wonder why people quite rightly confront you when are openly walking about with a camera. The staff have every right to ask why you are there. This has less to do With auditing and more about trying to get a rise out of people.

    Good video man, you should do more Scottish jail's, you said how sps Barlinnie is the largest jail in Scotland population wise, you said at time of recording there was 1008 prisoners in bar_l but maximum capacity was over 1500, There's one jail in Scotland that beats that bro, (FACT.CHECK) The Largest jail in Scotland is SPS (ScottishPrisonService) HMPYOI POLMONT in Falkirk, Im'a 28yr Scots Lad & i had my first Taste weeks after my 16th Birthday to 12 Moon sentence in Polmont bk in 2011, Since then I've done 9 years all in, 4 different stays in sunny SPS costa Del Soul's (HMP_Perth_HMPYOI_POLMONT
    _HMP_BARLINNIE_HMP_GLENOCHHILL) OVER 30 times in & out, defo not a way of life, but we all have are circumstances, but yeah bk in my time Polmont was a scary Y.O'S, before HMP Grampian opened in 2017-2018, & became 1/3% of a Y.O'S, Women's & Cons (OVER21-CON) (UNDER21_YOI) HMP_CORNTONVALE the only woman's jail in Scotland at that time, the same as HMPYOI Polmont was only under 21 boys in scotland, they only took one type of prisoner since time began, they ruined it when they opened Grampian, moved woman, under and over 21's, remand and convicted, up there then they shut down Corntonvale and moved the rest of woman ages 16-99 to polmont, it was weird corntonvale just got finished a £5million pound revamp for them that same year, five mill bill paid like cheers guys, then bang closed down with minimal movement's , but point is when I was there doing my stay, I done over four years in Polmont and was Starred up by the time i hit the Cons, whole new kettle oh fish but its good, I've been mainstream aww Ma Days, Fk aww use PRO'S & SEMI_PRO'S, (Protection_case)ID'RatherASoreFaceThanARedFace, bk in my time in plomont so 2011-2018 the Gen pop was over 1600 Y.O/PRISONERS But Maximum Capacity was 1800 people ie

The same one that built London and west minister … yeh that one … that’s why it’s hanging hence why we wanted independence from England , so we can sort out our country, instead of letting sunak sending 2.5billion to Ukrainians , well there Ukraine president has a 200million dollar super yacht , but I guess you don’t know everything or you would know why Scotlands the highest poverty place in the uk …

    I got a look into the hanging shed in D-Hall back in 96. Screws were taking photos of themselves posing in it before it was demolished. They weren't best pleased when I was spotted staring in. Can still see it.

    I never knew the hanging cell was demolished. I was next door to the condemned cell in the mid eighties, which I am sure was the first flat in D hall. The hall you can see at the front of the jail
    I remember reading a book the the ghosts seen in Scottish prisons when I was in A hall years later. A good read it was too!
    Ps.That screw is typical of Barlinnie, the cons ran this jail,up until the riot in B hall. After that the jail was fckd. My wee mate J 'Whitey' White was tried for the riot. Rightfully found not proven.
