Did you know that hundreds of inmates took the Scottish government to the European court over “sloping out”? The practice was deemed a breach of their human rights and compensation was paid. I’m unsure of the year, maybe late 90s or early 2000s. Cash compensation of various amounts was paid into accounts of serving prisoners to enjoy on release. Typical award was £500-£700 per month they had to endure it. The same cells are still in use to this day, all with a very unprivate toilet.
I was in A Hall summer of 2002 during the world cup , Lockerbie bomber was still being held there in his own we compound "Gaddafi's cafe" and slopping out was still going on then... although I think some of the other halls were being refurbished with toilets at the time if I recall correctly.. but A Hall was still slopping out in 2002
One of the things that makes barlinnie a lot worse than other jail's in UK is that's it's 23 hour lockup. It's monotonous being locked up in a cell 23 hours a day and some days it's 24 hours if the guards can't be bothered giving you the hour exercise that you are entitled to. Also the fact it's an old Victorian jail that used to do executions etc gives it a creepy vibe. Overcrowding is rampant and you can end up sharing a cell with a psycho.
That's just not true. Unless you are talking about years ago. All the guys go to education, out to play football, the sheds to work on the bikes and make stuff. Aye a lot of the suicide risks, escape risks and those on protection are dubbed up 23 hours a day
Kar fc, thats true. Becouse every one i knew that was in barlinnie had to work. Maybe except guys that were only doing 7 to 14 days. But most guys doing a long sentence had to work. My mate was working on the garden work party in bar-l about 9 years ago and he said it was like a fucking golf course, it was huge lol.
Karfc, thats true. All the long term prisoners i knew had to work in bar. But i thinck if you were doing 7 to 14 days to 28 days you were locked up 23 hours a day. And the screws made you work. Its a hard big jail and no doubt!
@@SuperKarinaG It is true because ive been in it and experienced it and the fact you think its not true tells me you havent so stop talking like you know what your on about, listening to stories passing it on as fact. Everyone doest need to work theres not enough jobs for everyone to works theres over a thousand prisoners, do you think theres that many jobs inside a prison, also not everyone goes to education etc because like i said theres over a thousand prisoners, the guys who work in gardens or cooks etc used to be housed in letham hall and have different priveledges to guys in a,b,c hall, 12 year ago since i was last place.
“It’s a hell hole of a prison” That is a severe understatement. Its absolutely disgusting. It was so bad back in the day that cons sued them for breaching their human rights and won. Every con that done time there could claim against them and get a few geez.
I love it when Scottish people make anti-English statements as we all know throughout their entire history in Scotland the most dangerous thing for a Scotsman is another Scotsman. In the TV comedy still game Jack and Victor would have called it a pish pot.
hi shaun i done 112 days corrective training in a miliatry jail for assult 14 days in a civillian jail for 900 pounds motoring offences in the seventys and never wanted to go back which i havent how do these blokes like blink get through big sentences as i would shudder at 16 to 20 years
Met a few Scottish people in winson green. And the stories of that place where crazy. Pp9 battery in socks. Sugar water. Morning body bags and breakfast on hold lol
When he mentions the chewing gum gang he means they were swaggering about just like a bunch of bullies team handed. Not literally chewing gum as your right it's not allowed in prisons
That's definitely true ,the screw he means ended up a deputy governor to,the guy he slashed tried to slash somebody else ,that's why he dun it,he was a nasty bastard
@@scottkennedy203 Slasher Gallagher in 1980's.. One for one. Cheers. PS He was Thee Governor, not a one two three, or Hall Governor, he was the Boss of the full Jail. He got slashed by prisoner, gave ultimatum, you done me, now I'll do you, and that's that.

Spent 5 weeks at Barlinnie before I moved on to Lowmoss.The Prison is old but I liked it their.Had a great cell mate. Worked in the kitchen I was in A Hall.
Spent my entire 20s in barlinnie. Actually had some really good laughs in the place considering. I used to do bio hazard clean ups so I got all the good gossip when people were slashed or smashed. I met one of the roof protesters. Big Buttsy lol screws were petrified from him. Also scheme were an amazing band, check them out on Spotify
i love piss pots,got over 2 grand after having to use them in HMP Saughton in the late ninties,as the EU told them it was way past the date we should have had real bogs,Shaun you'd get slashed from your cell mate for shitting in a piss pot,in Scottish prison you shit in a bag and fling it out the window (a shite bomb ),some poor prisoner had the job of picking up the shite bombs every morning
In Armley, you wrapped your shit in newspaper and flung it out the window, the nonces had the job of clearing it up. You can ring the buzzer all day long, nobody comes to let you out for a shit.
@@blueoranda5724 yes mate,no Scottish screw is going to open your door for a shite,we used the empty plastic bags off the loaves of bread,we used to get the empty bags off the pantryman,it wasn't the beasts up here that picked up,although it should have been the nonce bastards job,it was some poor cunt from each hall got shite bomb patrol each morning,they used to rake them to see if any parcels got chucked out by mistake LO FUKIN L !

The year 2000 while I was just beginning a four stretch , very first afence, was 4/5 doors down landing (E hall 3rd flat) from carri. Me and him got on quite well and carried would have down what he could to help me out. Carri had just started a 9 stretch but you could tell he was familiar with the ins and outs of the system, he was very switched on. Carri actually put a good word in so I could landing pass job and all he wanted in return was to make sure I got him the best shirts and trousers: shoes. I. Good deal I thought cause the passmen were always getting a certain amount of brand new clothing after kit change we new who wanted the new clothing. Apart from carri you always got a little snout some choco bars for the service. Carri always looked out for me cause I was the freshes of all meat. He did hold a level of respect but didn’t shout it from the chimneys. In summary carri was old school and I think the majority of merchandise. We both bought on the outdside came from possible. He took to me straight away, and I don’t think I would have got through the first six months with a different mind set. He ) carri) Once I got the pass job things changed over night. You just had to be very cautious. In summery Carri was/ is a top block . Other may disagree but I am sure giving face to face interview may uncover
I'm the son of Cary carbin my father has passed and your comments I've just seen is respectful in every manner and I salute u my friend I'm glad my old boy could help that's what real men do never one to bully same as myself were all cut from same cloth I send my respects to you and very grateful for Ur comments thanks young Cary carbin

We had that curry in armly and it was fecin horrible that was back we had to piss in a bucket, I use to put orange peel in the bucket to make it smell a little better. And if ya wanted an shit ya made a parcel and through it through the bars for the garden party the next day.
I have heard from lots of my mates that before the mid 1990s that barlinnie was just a pure dump of a hell hole and most of the screws were just pure bullys. My mates would say to the bullys "a take it you got bullied when you were younger as well and thats why you took this job to get your own back on men you dont even know you sick sad bastard. Then after they put toilets and sinks into the cells about 1996,97 they said the screws were still bastards but it wasnt as bad as it used to be. A few of my mates have been dubbed up (meaning locked up) with 3 to a cell and with no deodorant between them so the cell would be stincking especialy during the weekend 23 hour a day lock up. And maybe thats why the screws wernt as bad becouse there was no slopping out by then. But 3 to a cell fuck that! And the cells in barlinnie are small, smaller than most jails. But its just an allocation jail really so thats why theres 3 to a cell at times? If your doing 7 year in the early 1980s when blink was talking about you could stay in barlinnie for 2 year till they moved you out to another jail like perth wich was massive as well btw with 5 big main halls like bar-l and some guys thinck perth was maybe bigger than bar-l or at least the same size. But my mate said "when i went into that perth prison i had no idea it was as big as that, it was huge and that was in 1989, i expected it to have 2 or 3 halls but when i was being taken to it there was another 4 cons in the van and one said "here boys have yous seen the size of perth? And my mate said naw why is it big? The other guy said "big, its massive mate. Its got 5 main halls 4 flats each and thats just what i have seen when i was in it in 86 wait till ye see this" and he wasnt wrong blink. It was older than barlinnie and the screws were just as hard and big, maybe even harder. It was an old dank dungeon of a place that had rats in the halls and seemingly at night when every one was sleeping the rats crawled over you as well as the cock roaches too. In big jails like that back then if you asked for nothing you got nothing. But keep the storys coming blink i love listening to them!
I was in A Hall summer of 2002 , Lockerbie bomber was still being held there in his own we compound "Gaddafi's cafe" and slopping out was still going on then... although I think some of the other halls were being refurbished with toilets at the time if I recall correctly.. but A Hall was definitely still slopping out in 2002
Amazing how it's considered English language...Arabic and Hebrew have more in common than the standard American English accent and, whatever this is...To me it's just Gaelic or something, with a veneer of English

Did you know that hundreds of inmates took the Scottish government to the European court over “sloping out”? The practice was deemed a breach of their human rights and compensation was paid. I’m unsure of the year, maybe late 90s or early 2000s. Cash compensation of various amounts was paid into accounts of serving prisoners to enjoy on release. Typical award was £500-£700 per month they had to endure it.
The same cells are still in use to this day, all with a very unprivate toilet.
£2,100 you got, I never bothered putting in for it.

"Bar-L is a hellhole" wow, I was a kid on remand in the late 90s, when I first experienced it, HMP Polmont Y.O.I.was much worse than Bar.

Spent my entire 20s in barlinnie. Actually had some really good laughs in the place considering. I used to do bio hazard clean ups so I got all the good gossip when people were slashed or smashed. I met one of the roof protesters. Big Buttsy lol screws were petrified from him. Also scheme were an amazing band, check them out on Spotify
Bio hazard ? Is that what we used to call " bomb disposal" 😂😂
Tick ticking away
The thing is, "Barlinnie" sounds nice if you don't know what it is.
i love piss pots,got over 2 grand after having to use them in HMP Saughton in the late ninties,as the EU told them it was way past the date we should have had real bogs,Shaun you'd get slashed from your cell mate for shitting in a piss pot,in Scottish prison you shit in a bag and fling it out the window (a shite bomb ),some poor prisoner had the job of picking up the shite bombs every morning
In Armley, you wrapped your shit in newspaper and flung it out the window, the nonces had the job of clearing it up. You can ring the buzzer all day long, nobody comes to let you out for a shit.
@@blueoranda5724 yes mate,no Scottish screw is going to open your door for a shite,we used the empty plastic bags off the loaves of bread,we used to get the empty bags off the pantryman,it wasn't the beasts up here that picked up,although it should have been the nonce bastards job,it was some poor cunt from each hall got shite bomb patrol each morning,they used to rake them to see if any parcels got chucked out by mistake LO FUKIN L !

The year 2000 while I was just beginning a four stretch , very first afence, was 4/5 doors down landing (E hall 3rd flat) from carri. Me and him got on quite well and carried would have down what he could to help me out. Carri had just started a 9 stretch but you could tell he was familiar with the ins and outs of the system, he was very switched on. Carri actually put a good word in so I could landing pass job and all he wanted in return was to make sure I got him the best shirts and trousers: shoes. I. Good deal I thought cause the passmen were always getting a certain amount of brand new clothing after kit change we new who wanted the new clothing. Apart from carri you always got a little snout some choco bars for the service. Carri always looked out for me cause I was the freshes of all meat. He did hold a level of respect but didn’t shout it from the chimneys. In summary carri was old school and I think the majority of merchandise. We both bought on the outdside came from possible. He took to me straight away, and I don’t think I would have got through the first six months with a different mind set. He ) carri) Once I got the pass job things changed over night. You just had to be very cautious. In summery Carri was/ is a top block . Other may disagree but I am sure giving face to face interview may uncover

I can understand every word
I have heard from lots of my mates that before the mid 1990s that barlinnie was just a pure dump of a hell hole and most of the screws were just pure bullys. My mates would say to the bullys "a take it you got bullied when you were younger as well and thats why you took this job to get your own back on men you dont even know you sick sad bastard. Then after they put toilets and sinks into the cells about 1996,97 they said the screws were still bastards but it wasnt as bad as it used to be. A few of my mates have been dubbed up (meaning locked up) with 3 to a cell and with no deodorant between them so the cell would be stincking especialy during the weekend 23 hour a day lock up. And maybe thats why the screws wernt as bad becouse there was no slopping out by then. But 3 to a cell fuck that! And the cells in barlinnie are small, smaller than most jails. But its just an allocation jail really so thats why theres 3 to a cell at times? If your doing 7 year in the early 1980s when blink was talking about you could stay in barlinnie for 2 year till they moved you out to another jail like perth wich was massive as well btw with 5 big main halls like bar-l and some guys thinck perth was maybe bigger than bar-l or at least the same size. But my mate said "when i went into that perth prison i had no idea it was as big as that, it was huge and that was in 1989, i expected it to have 2 or 3 halls but when i was being taken to it there was another 4 cons in the van and one said "here boys have yous seen the size of perth? And my mate said naw why is it big? The other guy said "big, its massive mate. Its got 5 main halls 4 flats each and thats just what i have seen when i was in it in 86 wait till ye see this" and he wasnt wrong blink. It was older than barlinnie and the screws were just as hard and big, maybe even harder. It was an old dank dungeon of a place that had rats in the halls and seemingly at night when every one was sleeping the rats crawled over you as well as the cock roaches too. In big jails like that back then if you asked for nothing you got nothing. But keep the storys coming blink i love listening to them!
Well said Alan mate 👍💯🎤
I was in A Hall summer of 2002 , Lockerbie bomber was still being held there in his own we compound "Gaddafi's cafe" and slopping out was still going on then... although I think some of the other halls were being refurbished with toilets at the time if I recall correctly.. but A Hall was definitely still slopping out in 2002
See it from my bedroom window 😂
Jails a gift if you just be a nuisance.
Went to visit ma da and all he wanted was fuckin jaffa cakes what a place
Funny and serious👍🏻
I was in E hall when you were in the Wendy
just like the screws in wandsworth
Did he just grass slasher Gallagher in this public interview 🤔 or am I missing something ?
Galllagher is dead mate
@@thesatisfiedcustomer4869 still a grass
How the fuck can you grass on sumdy who’s dead?????
Blinks a grass mate
@@robertmcphee4942 aye I know that but he canny grass when he’s dead,that’s all I meant,m8!!!👍🏻
He talks to his cell a lot
Great stories, but even with subtitles I couldn’t have caught more than 20% of what he actually said.
As someone from Glasgow I suggest politely you fuck off, did you catch that?
Amazing how it's considered English language...Arabic and Hebrew have more in common than the standard American English accent and, whatever this is...To me it's just Gaelic or something, with a veneer of English
He mainly mumbles. Incomprehensible.
@@BoqPrecision good
Boqoreh It’s called slang, like Scouse etc and I find your Hebrew and Arabic comparison laughable! 🖕🏻
Fascinating, highly intelligent man, but fuck me, this story is horrific (from HIS point of view!) why on earth would you make these life choices where you end up banged up a fucking 12 in Barlinnie!? I wouldn't last 12 minutes mate!😳😂
Did you hear about the lonely prisoner
He was in his cell. 😂
This guy is some character honestly his banter is quite laughable eh.anyway blink the bank rober stay safe matey
I cannot understand the guy on the right for the life of me.
That's Scottish for you. If you can understand the Scottish you can understand anyone 😂
Oooooh get you 😂
D C It’a strange, because I’m Australian, so I really should understand 😂
Hi there, well with a name like Miriam Perkins I'm not surprised "Dear" Only pulling your leg, no don't get me started there. Have a nice day, just a bit of humour. Glasgow is pronounced Glesga too lol. x.
