Anyone here ever done time?

Iv a friend who was in mountjoy for a short time before being transfered to an open prison. It was a minor offence and he was given 18 months. He rang me quite reguraly from a mobile he was given by other inmates. While he didn't enjoy his time there but said it wasn't as bad as he had feared. I think it's down to who you know in there to be honest

I know a lad who escaped from an open prison back in the 90's.
He worked for years in London & was planking about ever coming home.
He came back after 7 years started working & not a peep.
He got hauled up in front a judge for doing twice the legal speed limit & his name still didn't register.

I visited a friend a few times in prison, seemed alright to me, he didn't mind it.

Was talking to a fella I know last summer who had done a year in Mountjoy.

From what I remember, he said he witnessed a newly arrived youngfella getting raped in the yard while the rest crowded around to cover it from the guards.
Apparently they also get drugs in by wrapping them in orange skins and basically f*** them over the wall during yard time I assume.

I think he also said they use the lids from aluminium tins to give those notorious "rat" scars from the bottom of your ear to the edge of your mouth.

Now I'm just going on what I was told, maybe It's bull.

But scary stuff all the same.

If you're on the run you'd think the last thing you'd be doing was drawing attention to yourself over something like speeding.

Whilst I have work with a good few who were raped whilst inside the above would never happen.

The stuff with weapons yes, you see horrfic scares. Stuff goes over the wall a lot tennis ball are good. Though they have do a lot to try prevent this.

You don't want to be see as a rat whilst you locked up, that would notr be good.

Eggy Baby!

I've been in Mountjoy once.....on a school tour for CSPE.
