My brother has been in HMP Belmarsh twice now, he is currently in there now. He speaks to us once a week for 10 minutes he always tells us there’s new staff constantly in and out everyday!! He says some of the staff he has witnessed swearing at them, hitting inmates and it’s horrific. The feel when you walk in there to visit your relatives is such a dull and sad place to be. It’s horrific and no way should it only be a 9 week training placement!!! More like about 4-5 years!!!
Never been personally but a lot of my friends have been somewhat regulars in the UK prison system so Ive heard many stories and staff retention is a massive problem. Its a very them and us attitude and staff are the enemy and are often the target of hate and violence. Sure though staff have without a doubt commited their own lets say sins within prison. Frankly swearing in prison is pretty normal and although not a respectful and definetly not a professional way for a member of staff to behave. Right now I think we need to staff with the big problems so spice, violence, staff retention, staffs role in contraband which I find it hard to believe plenty are not bringing in phones/drugs. I do think this training is likely better than what most get given this is being shown to TV only makes sense they would go the extra mile for PR which is only understandable
@@samanthaday8708 You ever been? I come from a middle class background but a good portion of my mates from the town over were repeat visitors and I am the first to call them out on bs and excuses but nor am I blind to just how difficult it is for them to get back into the "normal" world. It is literally criminal to release so many with no housing, poor support and statisics tell us that much of our prison population suffers from mental health. I believe in punishment for crimes Im known to be someone who will tell even friends exactly what I think good or bad but I realise that whereas we claim its about rehabilitation in reality it really isnt. A good example is one friend been back 20+ times just finished doing a 7 and for the first time ever he actually got some ok support its still lacking but it took 20 prison visits, a 7 year sentence & 100s of arrests for us to put some proper reform steps into action
Prison officers should be strict, respectful & responsible. NOT tough, angry or brutal. You get way better inmates when u treat them w respect & responsibility. They're literally making choices about other human being's lives.
Respect is earned. I'm pretty sure respect is not earned by murder, rape, assault, robbery, theft or other illegal activity. I can agree to humane treatment, but a prisoner has to start over and earn the respect.
@@julien.4617 I'm talking about respect as a human being. Being morally decent towards someone isn't giving them "nice" treatment, its just human rights.
That older trainee “ Jaya” makes a complaint about a comment made from a fellow trainee “ skinner “ . Those prisoners are going to eat her alive 😮 what a plonker !
Are there no fitness standards? Most are overweight, would probably struggle to run in an unsafe situation, and would clearly struggle to detained any prisoner if needed.
The pay is really really shit like working in a supermarket or warehouse is similar and there's next to no hiring standards apparently probably because nobody wants to do the job
I'm aghast at the one woman's attitude towards attire. A dress or skirt in a men's prison?, Seriously, she's not the type for this and would be a danger to herself and her fellow guards, I'm sure it proved out.This is where the interview process would have weeded out someone not suited. Pennywise, pound foolish. When we have criminals who are extremely violent and determined to use any opportunity to cause harm or escape, we must use every tool in the box mentally and physically to keep us all safe, including the prisoners.
She really isn't suitable for that environment, what many people don't understand is prison is very different to being on the outside, it's like a mini society with its own rules and regulations. in my younger days I served prison time so I'm talking from experience. Even though my crime was actually good for society
@@leemarples1643 Let's have a giraffe, how was it good for society ,Lee? Apart from shooting every Tory minister, I'm struggling to think how your crime was good for society. Plus, you're a bacon 'cuz you nonced that bin lid.
I understand the effort to try to add different kinds of people to the prison staff, but it sounds condescending towards the recruits that they took a lot of the process of hiring away, as if a minority couldn’t pass it. I doubt that. And the lack of an interview is disturbing to me. I’ve never gone through a hiring process without an interview, even when I was a kid working at KFC, and here they are putting these recruits in a difficult job where they have to interact with the worst of the worst and put their lives on the line without knowing important things about them. My ex brother in law came from Mexico when he was 19 and he was hired at a prison in Arizona. He went through psychological testing, intellectual testing, physical testing, in depth interviews because he would be dealing with dangerous people and they wanted to make sure he could hold up in every way and do his job. Also, they didn’t want to hire weak minded people who might be manipulated by prisoners. My ex-brother in law, a minority, passed with flying colors and was hired and did an excellent job all the years he was there. I think skirting the process could allow in people who might not be suited for the job even if they are nice people. Those nice people could end up in danger and put other officers and inmates at risk. I believe that some prisoners will exploit weakness wherever they can find it. Race doesn’t matter a bit in getting the most qualified candidates, it’s ability that matters and I think they can find ability across the racial spectrum. Maybe they could have done more targeted recruiting without getting rid of certain qualifications. I guess time will tell how this works out.
You're writing too much just to run away from the fact that you don't like ethnic minorities being considered to any positions...... seriously do much better
U can work in Tesco and get nearly or about the same annual pay as prison guards and If the prison service or private run ones paid a decent wage they wouldn't be screaming for staff.
I was on remand in Thameside, which is next door to Belmarsh. Thameside is a private prison, Serco I believe, or it was in January 2015 when I was in there for 2 weeks. I was acquitted by the way. Thameside was very easy but everything seemed to be OK in there. I never had any problems. I think the fact that you've got your own phone, computer, shower and toilet in your cell makes it run a lot better. Not sure about Belmarsh. A friend was in there and said it was tough sometimes. I certainly didn't know that prisoners arrived at prison from court on a Sunday either. I wouldn't like to be kept in the sweat box for hours. I spent a month in Brixton prison in December 2009, for breach of probation. That was not too bad, but Thameside was much better, in terms of the state of the living conditions and stuff to do.
I was thameside march 2015, and belmarsh after from woolwich crown court. There is a big difference going from the two.

you only get piss and shit thrown over you if you act a cnut towards a prisoner, and only a deranged prisoner at that, so dont act a cnut, and use your integrity as to who especially not to act a cnut to and you be fine. if you know you cant stop yourself acting a cnut towards vulnerable, volatile people, then a prison oroficer jobs probably not for you
Unfortunately, yes. If you can't pay your bills or tv license, you get banged up. If you rape an old lady and torture her disabled son to death you get a pay-out from the poor box, your ID changed, your excuses for committing the crimes taken into consideration and if you are actually jailed, you're released years early for good behavior!
Jaya was ridiculous. Completely not suited to the role, someone desperate for a well paid government job. Her complaining about bullying at the end was absurd. They all got through because HM Prison Service is desperate for employeesl
Jesus Christ how on earth did the chubby woman get this job?! She might be a nice lady but I would not want to be working with her because if it all kicked off she’d be no help! & the complaint of bullying, absolutely ridiculous! Inclusion is great but common sense & the best person for the job still needs to come 1st!
They should use military personnel to assist with the screws, imagine if an ex para, marine commando or raf Regiment trooper war veteran was to be an inmate 😮?
Have you seen the state of our military ? under funded and now filling up with gender fluid pro noun warriors. Prison officers used to be mostly former armed services......however Marines and Paras were deemed not pc enough and too rough to deal with rapists murderers psychos and terrorists. Its a funny old world init.
34:26 It must be hard for the trainers, they give the feedback to the higher ups & if any of those officers were to get hurt etc the officers would blame themselves to a certain extent, even though it’s not their fault of course. It’s not horrible for them to say, “Sorry no this candidate isn’t suitable for this job role” at the end of the day it’s for their own health & safety - as well as others. I can’t believe how low staffed 🇬🇧 prisons are.
No, she wasn't. Jara was being quite obnoxious, moaning about the uniform waistband and colour then moaning about swearing. Jill was just putting her in he place!
I did 3 months in Belmarsh in 2016 and a new starter had her face slashed. By the time i finished my sentence in a low security cat c prison 5 months ago they are hiring teenagers, young boys and girls some with bad attitudes who end up getting batterd and never come back. They have a university program where students come and serve as screws on the wings as part of there degrees. The old hands get pushed out by the youngsters who form clicks. This is quite old as theres still smoking.
I am trying to figure out why they lie about the number of different ethnic guard's, when like the US, they can't find enough people to even be a guard. I saw one where reggie yates went into a jail to be a correction officer for a week, and they were all having to work over time, and were still short on guard's. I saw one with uk guard's who worked long hour's as well. The guard's did say they worry about their family being attacked by a gang member inside putting a hit out on them. Most of the community felt like if you became a prison guard, that you were hating on your own people. Most of the problem from the guard's i know, is that this next generation of younger offenders are more dangerous, and ready to assault guard's or inmates because they have grown up on the street's without parent's, or their parent's are locked up, so offenders start the criminal path earlier, and drink and do drug's much earlier in life. God bless.
I'm sorry but to make sweeping genarilizations on upbringing as if to say they are a product of their environment is a cop out and a way for people not to take responsibility for their actions. There are many pillars of our communities that have had poor parents or abusive childhoods. The trouble is that the world is too politically correct and woke. And this is coming from someone who has spent years in prison system. I made poor choices as a young man and didn't care about myself or others the way I do now. I had a tough childhood but my parents did love and try with me. I just didn't give a toss and thought I knew best. I thought the world owed me a living. I had to learn the hard way. And believe me I did. God bless

Should have been in the slammer in the 60s when you truly had nothing in the way of rites and beatings by the screws was rife, no radio TV nothing in a cell 23 hours a day sleeping on a coconut fibre mattress and pillow with flea ridden blankets was like sleeping in a big crisp packet everytime you moved cockroich invasions were common place in cells wormwood scrubs was one of the worst back then
I'd dress like a man, if guarding men. Talk about setting yourself up. A woman "should" feel safe in any workplace, but the prisoners have a track record for not obeying the law, so I don't think that's the place to test the effect that saying "no" to a prisoner works. What "ought to be" and what "is," *especially* in prison is definitely not the same thing.
The small woman, the one who couldn't reach the door hatch properly, seemed a nice lady but totally unsuitable to be a prison officer. Especially at Belmarsh. She might be better suited to an administration role in the prison maybe?? If they're looking for different colours, races and religions in the new staff they're employing, surely that doesn't just mean prison officers?? It can mean office staff within the prison as well??
Imagine the little lady with the bag being a screw. Come on now, lowering the screws training doesnt help as the cons are getting worse. If anything we need old school screws in the job
@@normanno8514 i assumed nothing, its fact. Old school villains and old school crooks still had a moral compass, the ones in prison today, are all wanna be road men gangsters, pretending to be hard, and snitching and bitching all the while.

There is no such thing as finding god in prison but a realization of imprisonment which they are no longer free but locked up behind the iron bars. The prisoners do change for the better but the temptation of repeating the same crimes is the devils of their undoings. The sins which repeatable has nothing to do with god but their demons!
That's not true in the slightest, some people do find god as they have time to think and reflect on their lives and also study whichever religion they're interested in. If it helps them become better people then that will make god happier with them.

@@julien.4617 Yeah I doubt he's been in there, more than likely seen it on a movie or something like that as i see people assault guards and it never ended well for them, what I wrote above is exactly what happens in real life. Maybe he's having a laugh or something. Anyway I must go to sleep now and stop reading comments so I can be fresh for my little girl (check the avatar lol). Night my friend. ❤️
If I’m gonna have piss and shit thrown over me on a regular basis I’d like a decent wage at the very least. I wonder how many have left the service?
you only get piss and shit thrown over you if you act a cnut towards a prisoner, and only a deranged prisoner at that, so dont act a cnut, and use your integrity as to who especially not to act a cnut to and you be fine. if you know you cant stop yourself acting a cnut towards vulnerable, volatile people, then a prison oroficer jobs probably not for you
I'm sorry but did he say "debt defaulter?" You can go to prison in Europe for not paying you bills if you go broke? WTF!!!???!!!???!!!???
It’s called fraud …
Unfortunately, yes. If you can't pay your bills or tv license, you get banged up. If you rape an old lady and torture her disabled son to death you get a pay-out from the poor box, your ID changed, your excuses for committing the crimes taken into consideration and if you are actually jailed, you're released years early for good behavior!
24:15 - the cut here is hilarious.
Can't believe they treat the prisoners soo good
make the fences electric to stop escapes.
yea cos the razor wires no deterant
No that would be daft, they'd just short circuit it and escape, please don't get a job designing prison perimeter security.
Jaya was ridiculous. Completely not suited to the role, someone desperate for a well paid government job. Her complaining about bullying at the end was absurd. They all got through because HM Prison Service is desperate for employeesl
Jesus Christ how on earth did the chubby woman get this job?! She might be a nice lady but I would not want to be working with her because if it all kicked off she’d be no help! & the complaint of bullying, absolutely ridiculous!
Inclusion is great but common sense & the best person for the job still needs to come 1st!
I totally agree!!
common sense no longer exists in Britain its been replaced with Inclusion.
They should use military personnel to assist with the screws, imagine if an ex para, marine commando or raf Regiment trooper war veteran was to be an inmate 😮?
Raf reg 😂
Have you seen the state of our military ? under funded and now filling up with gender fluid pro noun warriors. Prison officers used to be mostly former armed services......however Marines and Paras were deemed not pc enough and too rough to deal with rapists murderers psychos and terrorists. Its a funny old world init.
Very clever. They show one but reality is completely different
Why do people keep re uploading old content? This documentary came out years ago.
LMFAO the peagan minister xD
I would NEVER work as a prison officer
where are they now these new screws?.....
The staff is crazier than the prisoners. One after one cartoon and they call it the toughest prison? It looks like a primary school.
Dieser Vorgang kann einige Zeit dauern.
34:26 It must be hard for the trainers, they give the feedback to the higher ups & if any of those officers were to get hurt etc the officers would blame themselves to a certain extent, even though it’s not their fault of course. It’s not horrible for them to say, “Sorry no this candidate isn’t suitable for this job role” at the end of the day it’s for their own health & safety - as well as others. I can’t believe how low staffed 🇬🇧 prisons are.
I fitted the prison cells at Belmarsh amongst others.
that woman training the rookies is horrible to that asian lady
Explain why please?
No, she wasn't. Jara was being quite obnoxious, moaning about the uniform waistband and colour then moaning about swearing. Jill was just putting her in he place!
maybe because she was hopeless
Is terrry skinner still there.... he was there when i was there 8 years ago...
Brittish prisons is the new trend with documentaries
Fuck
Fatherless behavior will lead kids to prison. 🫠
Is this where Julien Assange is detained ???
Hellmarsh as we call it lol 😂
I did 3 months in Belmarsh in 2016 and a new starter had her face slashed. By the time i finished my sentence in a low security cat c prison 5 months ago they are hiring teenagers, young boys and girls some with bad attitudes who end up getting batterd and never come back. They have a university program where students come and serve as screws on the wings as part of there degrees. The old hands get pushed out by the youngsters who form clicks.
This is quite old as theres still smoking.
I am trying to figure out why they lie about the number of different ethnic guard's, when like the US, they can't find enough people to even be a guard. I saw one where reggie yates went into a jail to be a correction officer for a week, and they were all having to work over time, and were still short on guard's. I saw one with uk guard's who worked long hour's as well. The guard's did say they worry about their family being attacked by a gang member inside putting a hit out on them. Most of the community felt like if you became a prison guard, that you were hating on your own people. Most of the problem from the guard's i know, is that this next generation of younger offenders are more dangerous, and ready to assault guard's or inmates because they have grown up on the street's without parent's, or their parent's are locked up, so offenders start the criminal path earlier, and drink and do drug's much earlier in life. God bless.
I'm sorry but to make sweeping genarilizations on upbringing as if to say they are a product of their environment is a cop out and a way for people not to take responsibility for their actions. There are many pillars of our communities that have had poor parents or abusive childhoods. The trouble is that the world is too politically correct and woke. And this is coming from someone who has spent years in prison system. I made poor choices as a young man and didn't care about myself or others the way I do now. I had a tough childhood but my parents did love and try with me. I just didn't give a toss and thought I knew best. I thought the world owed me a living. I had to learn the hard way. And believe me I did. God bless
@@garygriffin3647 It's true and documented in black America, Thomas Sowell states as much, backed up with plenty of data in The Vison Of The Anointed i believe, can't remember exactly which book, but it's one of his books anyway.
@@EliteBuildingCompanysounds real important then
You know what's scary from a perspective of an American the screams and noises in the UK prisons sound like the Dark Ages and torture chambers especially with accents like that😮😮😅😅
Should have been in the slammer in the 60s when you truly had nothing in the way of rites and beatings by the screws was rife, no radio TV nothing in a cell 23 hours a day sleeping on a coconut fibre mattress and pillow with flea ridden blankets was like sleeping in a big crisp packet everytime you moved cockroich invasions were common place in cells wormwood scrubs was one of the worst back then
Some of them were hopeless seems they are too PC to fail anyone
What an absolute shambles
No restraint training,no physical training it's a comedy club
Wrong, there are physical tests, medical screenings and extensive use of force training.
Non of these newbies are going to cope, they look nervous shy and shout boo to the, they would run …
Prison officers are good people
Its every other day they give the inmates a beating
Hmp is the flagship A-cat jail with a diubke A-cat wing
Hi I’m going in to the prison service, I must say the lady is wrong, I had a interview
Far too soft on these hardened criminals
Home sweet home
They shoul employ criminals too give ppl a chance ❤️
HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I’m surprised the lady can be allowed to wear earrings
I'd dress like a man, if guarding men. Talk about setting yourself up. A woman "should" feel safe in any workplace, but the prisoners have a track record for not obeying the law, so I don't think that's the place to test the effect that saying "no" to a prisoner works. What "ought to be" and what "is," *especially* in prison is definitely not the same thing.
The small woman, the one who couldn't reach the door hatch properly, seemed a nice lady but totally unsuitable to be a prison officer. Especially at Belmarsh. She might be better suited to an administration role in the prison maybe?? If they're looking for different colours, races and religions in the new staff they're employing, surely that doesn't just mean prison officers?? It can mean office staff within the prison as well??
These places are horrible to work in🤢🤢🤢
Imagine the little lady with the bag being a screw. Come on now, lowering the screws training doesnt help as the cons are getting worse. If anything we need old school screws in the job
why would you assume the cons are getting worse?
@@normanno8514 i assumed nothing, its fact.
Old school villains and old school crooks still had a moral compass, the ones in prison today, are all wanna be road men gangsters, pretending to be hard, and snitching and bitching all the while.
@@imnotavingthat6813 hmm - anecdotal evidence is basically worthless
It's surprising that any body can get hired without any real qualifications, and about the quraan It's not mentioned that employers comes first than prayer who said that? Don't make things out of your head.
8:02 Trains? Are you kidding me? How do you even rob a train?
Laughs in red dead redemption
Suggest you google the great train robbery, ronnie biggs was one of the robbers, l won’t go into details here, but yes, you can rob a train,
That woman looks like Ned from Spider man
😂😂😂😂
did anyone else hear the officer say “cannabis has a distinctive smell, like sweaty socks” if your weed smells like sweaty socks, take it back to where you got it from an smack whoever sold it to you in the mouth!
Julian Assange is a journalist and shouldn't be kept in belmarsh prison this prison. I find abusive language offensive says the Hindu women, she's going last in there.
Why you switch mate? you know that mans intention stereotypes
EE you catched the mr.madrapper on live cyamra
How they learning about prejudice and allowing the guy to say wog box🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Seriously? They are learning about racial stereotypes and learning what NOT to say! 🤦♂️
A kettle in the cell of a murderer? Are you serious? The cord can be used to strangle an officer or to throw boiling hot water in their face! What in the name of God are they thinking or actually they are not thinking! Px
A brit would do much worst without their tea...
I think Gita needs to consider another career path.
Hello Mr Savage ….
What a horrible job and life. Upto 60 hours a week of your life being in such an awful environment. Uk has shit weather as well its not like you can enjoy your time outside. Enslaved to having a mortgage so you can sell your life to a job like this. Awful
Such a ' pleasure ' after years the other side of the Pondvto watch my HomeLand can STILL.manage to retain Dignity in Strengh .No taters no guns ....Having watched severamdocumentaries on ournprisons remain impressed by the lackmofbscreingnorders &.commadarie amonst Officers &any prisoners
Free Assange
Free Assange!
Respect the ethnicity of the inmates ? They all should be treated the same.
Recruitment drive is same as usual ex military given priority.
I donno ..prisoners are there because they HAVE to be...jailers are there because they want to be...i couldnt do it....someone has to tho...
I wouldn't take Indian woman to this job to me she seems like she don't understand where she is now ..prisoners will have fun and very easy life with her she will become on the duty
There is no such thing as finding god in prison but a realization of imprisonment which they are no longer free but locked up behind the iron bars. The prisoners do change for the better but the temptation of repeating the same crimes is the devils of their undoings. The sins which repeatable has nothing to do with god but their demons!
That's not true in the slightest, some people do find god as they have time to think and reflect on their lives and also study whichever religion they're interested in. If it helps them become better people then that will make god happier with them.
I was locked up in 1986 for affray we had respect for the screws it made ur stay better but nowadays theres no respect and the prisoners run the jail
