Would anyone here server 5 years for £10 million?
Thats equivalent to a salary of £2m per year inside.:thinks:
Yeah, probably.

Compared to 70 grand for 13 weeks in the Big Brother house it sounds like heaven...

dont forget, those 5 years wont cost you a penny in living costs
Unless you have the misfortune to be subsequently found innocent... 
I would take £10m for 20 months

Unless he was caught speeding, then he would go to the gallows
I must be getting old, I wouldn't take the cash....I'd rather be free(well as free as you can be in Labias Britain).
Think about all the wonderfull stuff you have experienced over the last 5 years and place a value on it.Likewise place a value on the plans you have for the coming five years, some of the oportunities/experiences you will miss out on could never be repeated.e.g. families birthdays,weddings,christenings or what ever..... Bear in mind that all of your assets would be siezed whilst you are inside as well......

To return to the topic, I have no experience of prison but wouldn't want to do it thanks. Being brought up thinking it was the worst hell hole imaginable (evemn iof it wasn't, it's the perception) taught me I'd rather play straight. Breathing clean air and not watching my back (arse) are priceless, thanks.
I'm guessing there must be some PHers on here who've done bird at some point so what was it like - a walk in the park?
£10m? For five years? If I can have solitary, then not a problem. Walking around with smelly cons? No ta.

I was buying an expensive (ish) sub woofer for my home cinema kit a few months ago. The shop had a top line model in (about 3k iirc), but it was sold pending delivery to HMP Peterborough where a convict who was in Prison (after sentencing) was having it for his cell. Apparently he also had a decent TV etc as well. All from the manager of the shop - who couldnt sell me expensive stuff from stock as it was going to prison.
He also said they sold several HD projectors for use in the common areas.
i know someone who works for the prison in Peterborough. i can categorically say no prisoner has a tv except the 14" beko portable they issue. some have stereos, none worth more than £100 or so. not permitted. they can have a PS2, portable dvd player etc, but only if they save for it from the money they earn. anyone with any questions about life inside feel free to ask or message me.He also said they sold several HD projectors for use in the common areas.

wondering - on the back of the chap getting jailed for (albeit very excessive) speeding thread - what life is actually like in prison in Britain in 2007?
on the basis that paedophiles seem to be increasingly getting let off, whilst pensioners are jailed for non-payment of council tax - whether the socio-demographics of those inside have changed of late....
an PHers posting from jail?
open prisons?
my propensity to lawbreak is clearly at its highest for many years - what are the potential consequences?
rent free living for a year or so whilst tring to avoid 'big Dave' in the showers? or living in a underclass comune?
genuinly interested in any experiences fellow PHers may have had.
Ever been to Butlins? That's worse than prision, so should give you an idea as to how "bad" prision is.on the basis that paedophiles seem to be increasingly getting let off, whilst pensioners are jailed for non-payment of council tax - whether the socio-demographics of those inside have changed of late....

HTH.
doing time in prison is not hard. those sentenced to a custodial will go from court to a B cat local prison typically. its rare for those serving under a year to move prisons, but that depends onn the number of spaces in C or D Cat prisons. prison life itself is easy - 3 reasonably edible meals, Tv, gym most days, etc etc. the hardest thing to deal with is isolation. you generally get thrown in a cell with a total stranger, not knowing who or what they are, dealing with the general scum who treat the place as a second home. most prisoners get association - time out of cell to shower, play pool, phone home etc etc every day for a couple of hours, but some can be on 23hr bang up, depends on the prison and the staff levels.
anyone could do time if they had to, its just a case of keeping your head screwed on, learning how the place runs, being respectful to staff etc etc.only the knobs have a hard time in prison, and only because they make it hard for themselves.
