WOW This still going?
Seen a email in my inbox some1 posted here... Ive not posted in RUI for a very long time (years)
First off he said hes going to forest bank cat c, Ive been there 12 weeks on B wing thats the remand wing, Then 2 weeks on A wing all new inmates spend 2 weeks on A wing its the introduction wing, then I went to D wing for 7 months. Forest bank is a total shit hole, you can keep your own clothes and shoes and every cell has a small TV, there is 3 levels you can be on, level A, you have your own shoes can have a ps2 and 4games can have a visit every week and are permited out of your cell every night for 2 hours after your tea 5-7 then lock up and can spend £25 a week in the prison shop.
level B gets you your own shoes a visit every 2weeks and out of your cell for 2 hours after tea 3 times aweek your not permited a ps2 only a radio and can spend £15 a week in the prison shop.
Then there is level basic, on this level you have to wear prison shoes with wodden soles and made from hard fake leather.. they call them shit flickers.. you lose your tv and radio if you have 1 and have to stay in your cell 24hrs a day 7 days a week you have to wear prison clothes only 1 visit a month and can only spend £5 a week in the prison shop.
every1 starts on level B, and it takes 2 weeks to move to level A you have to get 5 out of 6 points a day to move up if you get less then that you stay on level B if you get less then 25 points in a week then you move down. points are taken off for anything, being late for gym messy cell etc.. etc.. etc...I stayed on level B never made it to level A. I also did 2 weeks on level basic with 4 days down the block for fighting some assole pinched my pot noodle....
After my stay in Forest Bank I was shipped to Thorn Cross that is a cat 'D' open prison.
Forest Bank is full of dirty smak heads who will do anything for gear, 'herion' most of the inmates are doped up on sleeping pills.
Now for this guy to grow weed in Forest Bank I know he doesnt wanna harvest his crop just throw some seeds in the soil and watch them grow...
The thing is HMP & YOI Forest Bank has no area to grow anything ATALL!!!!!!!
When you first arive you enter a very large wodden door the van drives you threw that and you then say good bye to the outside world FULL STOP!
You drive in a large garage sort of thing, then you are unloaded in a large room, your processed then given 1 phone call. your then taken down a long thin corridor no windows or any sort of acces to the outside world, look at a pic ov Forest Bank, can you see the long thin corridor in the middle that is the route to to cells at the top of the pic each row that sticks out is a wing. that long thin corridor in the middle is the only place you get to walk in without gards escorting you. cant plant seeds there.... that long thin corridor is your route to visit area and classes. there is no outside work in Forest Bank no gardens and no plant areas ATALL...... so you see guys its 100% impossible to plant anything in Forest Bank.... so this is a FAIL......
