First Name correct, can you give me his other initials? And do you know him
I knew this chap quite well. He and I served in the Army together. There was always something not really quite right about him. He lied about little things and perversely, stole opanother chap's medals, which was always surprising and just downright odd.
He was kicked out for various petty thefts and, then, a year or so later, he tortured two women and murdered one of them. The sentence was recommended to be 30 years, which means the judge presumably thought he was particularly nasty.

What did strike was that virtually all these individuals were "full of themselves", not "stuck for words", "gift of the gab", "not backward at coming forward".
Anybody else noticed that, or some other characteristic other than being dishonest?
About 87% of the prison population are smokers. No doubt some will take it up (again) because of the boredom and social scene but the majority will be smokers in the first place.Anybody else noticed that, or some other characteristic other than being dishonest?

A bloke I went to school with was one of the 3 hard lads of our school year, and I remember him saying to me once. "I'm hard me. I'm so hard, I was hard before I was hard" (as a 12 year old this kind of thing scared me s
tless)
His single thumb print was found on a fake label on the fake paperwork that took a container of cigarettes out of the docks only to be found empty on a housing estate some days later.
He pleaded his innocence, could not give names of the others involved, because he was either innocent, or they would kill him later, and was sentenced to 4 years. I am led to believe that he got back on his feet through sheer hard work and determination alone, and now runs a small building firm.
The other 2 lads also went to prison (unrelated offences) and one of them was later murdered in an unexplained apparently random attack. (our Sean, he'd never hurt a fly ?)

Well today was my visit. It was quite scary at first but a lad saw me on my own and came and chatted to me. What i found quite strange was that the prisoners where allowed to touch/hug/fondle there girlfriend/wives maybe sisters
the guy on the next table and chairs spent most of his time with his hand up his partners skirt...
Felt very sorry for my old friend being locked up but he's made his bed..

Sounds to me like they attract quality women, if I'd tried that wirh my wife in public she'd have returned the favour buy touching my bks at high speed with the toe of a stiletto .I don't know anyone who's been to prison other than someone who does it for a job , prison officer.
He's told me some pretty gruesome tales
When I was very young I used to mix with the wrong crowd.
Individually they were nice guys and were popular with most of the school. They were always lads from a young age and their antics were past off as boisterous and immature. They did have innocence and charm that afforded them to get away with more than they should.
Once we started hitting around 12 years old you could tell it had progressed from just taking petty things too far, to getting up to some right nonsense.
As my mum used to always say "if you fly with the crows, you'll get shot with the crows". It was around about this time in distanced myself from the guys I grew up with since before nursery school. Everyone knew by a young age where it was heading.
True enough by teenage years proper criminal activity had started. Cigarettes had moved on to cannabis, then on to harder stuff and thieving was the way they funded it. They totally messed up school and left without hardly any qualifications.
The downward spiral continued over the years and they did end up pulling in a few other people that I wouldn't have expected. Same thing happened with them, drug usage lead to crime to pay for it.
Two of them were caught dealing on seperate occasions, but one got off lightly as he was informing the police about other people.
For the last 20 years they've been in and out of jail on countless occasions. The drugs abuse has also taken its toll and they look a mess because of it.
Still to this day some people still feel sorry for them and make excuses for their behaviour. They've maybe lost the looks, but they still have the ability to charm people, especially the girls. It's weird how some of the girls atill think back 20-25 years to these cheeky chaps and still hold a fondness for them even though it's obvious how messed up they are now.
I did meet with one a couple of years back and had a good chat. What I realised was exactly what I knew all those years ago, They were just scumbags that had an ability to talk ste and make people beileive they were hard done to. They were always untrustworthy and even worse now.
They still feel as if their problematic lives weren't their own fault. It's always someone else's fault and people still buy into that and take pity on them. They've used their personality to hide exactly what they are and you could see things were going this way since they were young kids.

Bloke I work with got done for speeding twice in a short period. Gave the BiB the driver's details - an elderly relative - they took one look at the age of the disclosed driver and the car being driven and said are you sure that's the right driver?. He confirmed it, twice. Only trouble is they had crystal clear photo evidence of him at the helm both times.
He got 14 months for attempting to pervert the course of justice. Work kept his job open, which I found rather unbelievable at the time. From what I can gather though it was the short, sharp shock he needed, he has since come out, returned to work and is far less of an idiot than previously.

This guy, probably known to most.

Lived over the road from me, taught at my secondary school. Used to speak to him and washed his car for him, he never touched me up though. Maybe I was just an ugly child!

Last year I wondered about a couple of guys I worked with about 15 years ago, so I had a look on Google. One's still a sysadmin, the other, who should also have been a sysadmin, is in prison and will probably never get out.
I discovered he's a convicted paedophile who had even gone so far as to go on the run to the US, where the FBI got involved. That came as a bit of a shock.

I also have a former colleague who was sacked for an unrelated issue, but very soon after was charged with child exploitation in the US, long-winded trial but eventually was convicted and sent down for 18 years. Fat little white guy doing time in Texas for paedo charges, not the easiest life unless you enjoy being viciously bummed and beaten!
I was absolutely amazed when he was charged, until he was sacked I viewed him as a good colleague and somewhat of a friend, he was a 100% fraudster in many aspects. To be honest, I was disappointed he only got 18 years, the charges he faced could have run him up to 120 years inside, but it was bargained down to 18..
