    Solitary is not nice. A friend spent 4 years in Dartmoor nick. He refused to co-operated and was put in solitary padded cell for 8 days where he went on hunger strike. He was then informed that if he did not start co-operating the MUFTI (Minimum Use of Force Tactical Intervention. ) would see he got hurt. Nothing serious - just the odd broken bone.

      I read about that in The Week last week - shocking that they just kept walking past him ignoring him completely.

            Ah wrong case - I thought you were talking about this one...

            ‘Arrogant’ fraudster to face six years in prison - Main Section - Yorkshire Post

            The judge said she had received a letter from Upton written after his remand in custody. “You tell me that you are not the typical inmate of prison, that simply demonstrates that your arrogance continues.

            “You are typical. Inmates of prison are dishonest, you are dishonest.”

              £7M a year for doing fook-all. That is a Tony Blairesque salary.

                That defence worked for Ernest Saunders. (Ernest Saunders - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia). Maybe Darren should have squirreled away more to bribe the judge with?

                  I worry about the company you keep. Are you sure you are not a recruitment agent?

                    I can think of worse things, like listening to someone talk about their children all day.
