I can honestly say I sincerely feel for your friend- a high pressured job which has become nigh on impossible now. It might be of interest, but I've met many prisoners, and been in many prisons, and have been treated with huge respect by all prisoners I have met. There is something rotten going on. Without being all political, those of us old enough remember this shite from the eighties. We are going backwards here. Hope your friend is coping OK.

My mate will be just fine as he works in Barlinnie. He has however, been assaulted many times and been off sick because of it and has had his service extendid and pension downgraded. It must've been horrendous joining up and knowing how long you have to go to get your end of service benefits then they change the rules and you have to work longer for less pension and lump sum.

Outragious! Yes, this is the same as us in the NHS as well as other public services such as the police, fire service etc. What folk don't realise while they go on about 'gold plated pensions' is there was a reason folk in these jobs needed to retire early- PTSD, physical inability to fulfil the role etc, Good luck if you need a 65 year old firefighter to break through your window and rescue you from a fire filled flat. Has your friend been able to work through the trauma of his experiences properly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Thompson Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 I used to live less than half a km away from this prison. We never ventured up that part of town, so I didnt actually realise at the time This, of course, adds nothing to the thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
