"Bum fun" as you put it is one of the biggest myths about prisons and any bloke that tries it on is on a sure fire way to get his head kicked in big time.
Drugs depends on the prison. Exeter is pretty dry in that regards. But I was told that the best places to get drugs are..............drug rehabilitation prisons.
The violence is true as someone gets a major kicking every day. Usually a paedo so lets not lose any sleep over that.

That bloke who got screw of the year got it for his work with paedos and sex offenders as the health care unit and maximum security wing are in the same section at HMP Exeter.
Some would say that's appropriate as if they put a paedo or rapist into the main prison then it isn't long before they end up in the hospital wing anyway.

Thanks for the helpful advice mate, shame about the mags, as I had a fair few Private one's that would have gone down a storm in there

He's got a long one as well, so I'll guess I'll have to see what the score is, usually I wouldn't bother, but no'one else will, and he'll be lucky to get through this one. Thanks again Eduardo

My old man did a stretch in an OZ prison and you basically couldn't send them anything.You could only buy them food & drink when visiting
The sad fact was the food & drink(Junkfood)bought on these visits had more nutrition than the fare served inside
We wonder why theres VIOLENCE in prisons...fucking morons,those in charge
The big brother state,big on Punishment but no idea on rehabilitation
and hence the cycle keeps repeating itself
cheers
B....OZ

I have it on good authority that mags or any glossy paged magazines cannot be sent in as its usual for LSD to be applicated on pages for the cons to lick off. Mags of a certain nature, up to FHM etc can be purchased in a prison shop which have already had its stock monitored.
Food wise is very strict and usually foods have to be sniffed at by the drug searching dogs, and even sealed items like crisps are opened incase they have been tampered with and resealed.
Paedos and rapists or anyone in Rule 42 (I think thats the segreagation one) have it even stricter incase vigilantes send in poisoned stuff. Ground glass in oranges is a 'popular' one, as is acid in bottles of pop.

Thats how it worked when I was there. Somebody would get an FHM or something like that and you'd share it around the other cells.

Paedos and rapists aren't segregated by law. They can apply for special protection if they feel that they are likely to be picked on (or vulnerable is the p.c. term).
Sometimes though that (max. sec.) section can be full so they have no choice but to be put in the main prison and the word spreads around almost immediately about who (or what) they are.
You can then guarantee that in a couple of hours that the pervert will get a right kicking as there's always someone looking to make a name for themselves.
Child killers get it worse. I remember one came in when I was there and he'd killed his girlfriends baby by swinging the poor thing around by it's foot and smashed it's head in to the wall.
This arsehole spent a month in Exeter before he was moved on. In the canteen blokes would regular wank off into his food and the screws would make him eat that food.
He got a couple of small kickings until a couple of the Plymouth boys got hold of him big time which basically involved him having part of his ear ripped off.
So when someone tells you that these people should be hung then I tell them no. Let them spend 25 years or so in prison where everyday they live in constant fear of regular beatings and reprisals etc so these wankers can live their pathetic lifes in total pain and misery, similar to that which they caused their victims and their families.
Well maybe not similar but I'm sure you get my point.

What I implied was exactly that Eddie, a request to be sectioned from the rest of the prisoners. Segregation it is, although not application for segregation. Is it still called Rule 42?
I BELIEVE Stevies story, about Brady getting what for. Hindley was a frequent visitor to the hospital during her first 10 years inside as is Peter Sutcliffe who I believe is blind in an eye due to being stabbed in it with a pen? Ouch!! Despite their requested isolation, they still get a browning. A fair one all said and done
