What's life like in a UK prison? Do you really get raped?

No, we're not americans. It's just really boring, like most prisons. Avoid gangs and you'll be fine

Thanks for the reply.
Is it possible to get your own cell or do you have to share?
>>17165218
Got to share I'm afraid. 2 men a cell. Raping don't happen and don't trust (strongly mean this) the screws!

BBC did a piece on a fucked up jail in London.
google 'wormwood scrubs BBC'
It's fucked up. Staff and prisoners complaining they are going insane. Officers saying they are the most stressed they have been in their lives. Drug deals and usage in the open. Prisoners scribbling childlike illustrations on walls because their minds are broken.
Halfway through the video 6 officers take down 1 guy because he had been in a fight and wasn't listening to officers.
Rape wasn't covered in the video but it didn't seem like they are into that shit.

Also OP, why ask? Are you heading to jail soon?
Prison is mostly long periods of an overabundance of downtime and nothing to do, with rare and brief occurrences of sexual assault
Be cautious and youll make it out OK. Try not to go back though, its hard to stay out for good
Thanks guys. Bump
Are going to court? What did you do?
Are you allowed a laptop/wifi in your cell?
depends on security of the prison. if you are in a low security prison, you will be with people who have committed small crimes and people who have commited large crimes but at the end of their sentence.
