Category A (Security) Hello friend, # 6, ‘oh, the humanity’ This is a priceless and a text book example of abusing your position; possibly even ‘misfeasance in a public office.’ Cast your mind back to the first false allegation (blog no.: 140); the C-Nomis entry which claimed I was dishonestly seeking information; a claim which

ACategory A (Security) Hello friend, # 5, letter of authority This is a belter: one of my complaints to the Independent Press Standards Organisation (IPSO) required me to obtain a letter of authority from my mother; so I could make a complaint on her behalf. Unfortunately, she sent me an unsigned letter of authority. After

Category A (Security) Hello friend, The last 3 blogs looked at the inaccurate information in Psychology’s report (subsequently retracted and 1 incomplete file entries); Security’s turn. # 4, telephone number I submitted an application, to Security, to have my mother’s mobile number cleared.

Category A (Psychology) Hello friend, # 3. Smoking I have previously voiced my opinion on smoking; there’s no need to go into the reasons for the purpose of this blog. At that time, I was located about 50 cells down the end of the landing; it is a long landing. The landing officers are stationed

Inside Time Hello friend, I had a letter published in the prisoner’s newspaper ‘Inside Time’. That’s 2 out of 3 letters published. Maybe I should write to them more. I won’t bother reprinting it as you will be able to view it on their site, www.insidetime.org. It’s really just a rewrite of blog number 103

Arts Project Hello friend, The aftermath; we’ve had a lot of really positive comments from prisoners; nice to get some ‘love’ instead of the hostility. We’ve started the process of evaluation. Interestingly, 24 guys out of the 50 feedback sheets I’ve processed didn’t turn up to the show. That’s a big percentage. Most of those
