I sort of feel guilty saying I cant wait til the next one. Genes has changed since I last came on, it comes up with how long you've been a mamber and the amount of posts you've put up!! Oooh thats progress.

It was an interesting programme, I liked the bit were the bride said her boyfriend said he was going to rob a post office and she said OK then.
and the dress was tight but I think she felt like a princess in it

im looking forward to next weeks episode too,

i love shows like this, and dont thinkt he "driver" deserved how long he got tho, :D

I think the driver deserved the sentence (f long sentences are ever appropriate ) It wasn't just he was the driver, it was what he was transporting and the misery that causes.

I however did have some sympathy for him because he had never been in trouble before and did it just to pick up a few pounds. He should have not allowed himself to be used but then we don't know his circumstances at the time.

Watched this tonight and found it sad that whilst a prisoner was under his bed headbanging and was evidently doing damage as there was blood, neither the nurse or wardens could pull him out in order to attend to him and prevent further harm as this action would be classified as 'common assault'.

I enjoyed the first programme with the wedding but last night I turned it off before the first commercial break, it was too awful.

I just cannot watch this kind of programme any more (must be an age thing!). I am very aware of how the world is but I don't want to watch human misery on my television screen. BC XX

I have just watched the episode with the French guy who bit the officers, and the guy who kept doing the toilet in his cell. I had to watch it online, and reckon English viewers must be ahead of us poor souls up here in Bonnie Scotland lol
Fascinating!!

It makes you think. If you can get over all the - what 's the word - gory/sickening bits you realise these are people who must have the most miserable of lives, especially as they consider prison home and will do the most distasteful things to ensure they remain. Difficult too for the prison officers who have to deal with them daily.

Maybe not appropriate to watch this anymore from the comfort of my sofa.
