Was that bloke in the wheelchair the original 'Andrew Pipkin' or what!

He was identical......'I'm not going', 'I want that one', 'I don't like sarnies.' Insisting on a wheelchair when he could fucking walk. The list goes on.

Funny and ironic as fuck. Especially when his trousers fell down as they were getting him into the van.

Did anyone else watching come to the same conclusion

I know. There are some fucking monsters in that nick. 00 yrs behind bars is too good for some of them. Why don't we just fucking hang these cunts beats me.

People can say what they want about Islamic sharia law, but retribution IS a fitting punishment in my book.

Funny how we all see things differently, i for one didnt find the fact that he lost his trousers funny as fuck, i saw a guy that society didnt know what to do with and who had lost all dignity, so why is that funny?

On a different note, its an intriguing programme , chilling but strangely compelling

Why make programmes like these it just idolises criminals. They did a crime and should be punished not made into reality tv stars.

I've seen both programmes and I haven't warmed to any of the inmates that have been shown, hopefully it will have the opposite effect and frighten ther crap out of anyone deliberating on a life of crime.

I felt saddened last week to see a woman marrying an inmate in Strangeways and who saw nothing wrong in taking the kids into prison, having to let them go through the indignity of being searched and scanned in the baby's case. Would anyone ever want a life of bringing their kids up to think visiting daddy every 2 weeks in prison was normal.

The history of strangeways is quite facinating

I googled this

**************************************

Originally, the prison contained an execution shed in B wing; however, after World War I a special execution room and cell for the condemned criminal was built. Strangeways was also one of the few prisons to have permanent gallows. The first execution was of twenty-year-old murderer Michael Johnson, hanged by William Calcraft on 29 March 1869.

Twenty-nine hangings took place in the next twenty years, with a further 71 taking place in the 20th century, bringing the total number of hangings at the prison to 100 people. However, during the second half of the century, the number of executions decreased, with no hangings taking place between 1954 and 1962. John Robson Walby (alias Gwynne Owen Evans), one of the last two people to be hanged in England, was executed at Strangeways on 13 August 1964. Out of the 100 total hangings, there were four double hangings, while the rest were done individually. The famous "quickest hanging" of James Inglis in seven seconds, carried out by Albert Pierrepoint, took place at Strangeways.
