Q

Harsh son, fkin harsh. True but......

they were truly ahead of their time

As someone who grew up in Wakefield, I've never been more offended by something I 100% agree with

Oi!

@@thatfunkyduck Oi saveloy

I believe he is happy with it that way. As I remember watching somewhere and they mentioned he was adamant he have to be let alone as he would cause harm to others no matter what. But correct me if I’m wrong

He would crumble outside of that room , imagine letting him out it would be too overwhelming for him , he is in his best place

There is no sense is any of this

Yo you live right next to me

If it makes you feel any better, those are just the ones they have caught. Your neighbour could be way worse!

I know right, everyone in wakefield will get anxiety watching this

Like they have been for so many years with no problems but shit now you know they going to come for you so best move as they not moving them for you

Its not the fact that the monsters are in the prison in the city we live in, its that they are "rehabilitated" right outside in the community.

The good old days. My Irish great, great, great, great grandfather was transported to Tasmania in 1831. Though at least he was an adult. He stole three silk handkerchiefs. Still, a generation earlier and he'd have been hanged.

@@vespelian5769 Bad eh. I like to think we’ve come a long way from all of that.

@@vespelian5769 Theft of anything over the value of five shillings was punishable by death. Courts and juries found it so distasteful that they would often find obviously guilty defendants not guilty, or the prosecution would undervalue the goods stolen at four shillings and eleven pence.

The stuff of nightmares, SW Jay. Poor kids, it beggars belief. We have come a long way it’s true.

@@MsDormy I wonder if people in a couple of hundred years will look back at our time and think it was barbaric?

There are more down the road in a place called Westminster

@@jimaforwood743 a few up the road in hollyrood and some in sheepland for good measure... basically all politicians are freaking nuts

child rapists make a good case for having a the death penalty

@@seanblackhurst7844 The problem isn't that they are nuts, the problem is that the majority come from a massively privileged background compared to the rest of the UK population, and that they mainly get into politics just to screw as much from the system as they can. Not insane, just selfish calculating bastards.

@@24934637 hard to disagree, I'll give the Tories one thing though, at least they are honest about wanting to screw you

Should of asked the Aussie have you

😂😂😂

Don’t say that at immigration. They don’t think it’s as funny as we do😂

Wish Uk woz like that.

Ha I don't know who I feel sorry more : The inmate (s) or the fact that your from Wakefield :-P

@@THE-BUNKEN-DRUM I should be offended, but I can’t be when you’re not even wrong 😭

Yeah, that or Huddersfield

@@alexwalker407 or Doncaster.

@@SinistralPainting1 don't even get me started on Bradford dude

@@alexwalker407 so basically; York, Sheffield and Leeds are okay!

@@SinistralPainting1 Haha, yeah basically dude!

Sounds like he may deserve a hell of a lot better than he got in life. Poor bloke.

You have no idea about his history. I have. Don't go there

I was very surprised that he's been in solitary confinement for 40 years in UK, that sounds like torture and unethical even to keep a murderer like that. So he must be extremely dangerous because I haven't heard of this happening to other murderers in UK. Not that I care what happens to murderers but seems he mostly killed pedophiles and child abusers.

So not going to lie I sort of feel bad for him but I probably will chance mind if I look up more about him, like there must be something absolutely horrific about him.

@@teijaflink2226 he isn’t dangerous he just hates child abusers… difference is he shows his dislike for them instead of moaning on the internet. He has more morals than 90% of today’s society.

And a medal for public service.

I agree, let him have a little friend.

But he may eat it. As Grouty admitted he did to Fletcher.

The pie shop .just up the road is a good place lol. Gotta love the pie shop

@@mickt3390 the pie shop is a highlight of a night out

I'm waiting for lockdown to end. So I can turn up half cut at 3am grab a meat and tater pie with gravy . and wake up coverd in puke and piss on a bench on the bottom of westgate ..before hitting primark sales getting changed in the bus station loo before hitting greggs

Same, i live near the premier and have to walk past every day, waaay too quiet

Don't be waving at any windows 😄

RIP Pie shop

@MAC haha :D of course not, just even a little noise or some kind of talking, i haven't even heard the dogs bark

I know someone who lives within a few minutes of a walk there, the prisoners are sometimes heard talking with each other from the outside. There's also a street next to one of the back ends and there are a lot of assaults there, no correlation with each other

No he shouldn't

Charles Bronson was an awesome actor

His real name is Michael Peterson

But randomly swap between the 2. Like do charles bronson (murderer) childhood then charles bronson (actor) teenage years etc. Just to mess with people. 🤷‍♂️🤔😂

A bit late for that. He's now Charles Salvador.

Robert Maudsley; why haven't they ever simply segregated perverts from him from day one? They have segregated them from other prisoners for decades since. So why didn't they and why even now don't they? They want a excuse to keep him incommunicado! Why???! What might he say if he speaks to people freely enough?! What is the betting that at least one of the perverts who had raped Robert Maudsley was someone in a position of power and great wealth? Isolating him that way was to keep him from identifying them! If that weren't so then why are they keeping him in isolation when he is near 70 years old? An old old man. Only allowed a cardboard table and cardboard chair? No reason to keep him locked up, incommunicado and determinedly destroy him as a human being that way other than to stop him identifying who his rapists are and possibly that he also got one who among the 'elite' (if he did kill an elite perv chances are they would have lied and said it was a heart attack, but they would have wanted to punish him for killing one of theirs). One wonders if it was coincidence that he was put in Broadmoor during the years that Savile and his mates ran the place. He has never been able to say and never will be allowed to tell if he knows anything about them. Why not? Why have they entombed him alive - in bullet proof glass? He is 68, almost certainly with much muscle waste and incapable of real violence. They could have put him in a high or medium secure mental and prescribed him medication which would calm him down and make him as weak as a kitten. They did this as cruel and extraordinary punishment for something he did to someone who was a VIP among the 'elite' or for something he knew. There were no reports of him being a threat in Parkhurst. Yet after he reportedly confided something in a psychiatrist, they did this to him! What did he tell the psychiatrist that made them decide to ensure he would always be incommunicado except for rare family visits under strict supervision? They could have suicided him, arranged for him to become fatally ill or have an accident. No. They want to torture him for the rest of his life - and not for only 4 nonentity nonces. Bullet proof glass? Underground? With guards? That's to psychologically torture!

I'm sorry that happened to you. I'm glad you took steps not to be like them, no matter what awaited you away from the home couldn't have been any worse than what you suffered at the hands of supposed protectors and loved ones. Damn.

I understand. I left home at 17. Thank God I turned out ok. Some people have strong guardian angels.

Know what your saying never understood why people make a fuss over Mother’s Day , I got out at 14 .

So sad that you have never known a mothers love

Left home 3-11-72, just turned 12 on 3-7-72. Turned 61 a few weeks back. Never went back. Had no desire for nothing. Don't look back, life is ahead of you. Good luck.

The wreck what a spot

I think Simon has done Sealand on one of his other channels.

Sealand was built during the second world war as a gun platform to shoot down Nazi planes at the mouth of the Thames estuary. There was some chap who was dissatisfied with his life and decided to cede from the UK. He was eventually evicted from the platform and there's a documentary on RU-vid of someone visiting the platform relatively recently.

He has recently done a Casual Criminalisr on Maudsley, it goes for over an hour.

Yeah also BARK-shire not BERK-shire. I had to google this guy as I was convinced he was just pretending to be British.

Maybe hes not british, but english?

The pie shop is up for sale!!

this deserves to be the top comment

Unfortunately lockdown has killed the Wakey pie shop. I hope someone buys it as a going concern.

I used to work at Wakefield College, there was a butchers in town that did hot lamb rolls (or baps, can't remember the wording), and you got a choice of butter or dripping for spread. Bloody delicious, mind.

Can’t beat going to Pie shop after a night out

there’s midrolls between each ‘chapter’ and a sponsorship in the middle but okay

It's redicoulos that to society that criminals are viewed as Animals/monsters out murdering and raping, but once locked in a cell they become prescious human beings with emotions and feelings.

I don't think they got rid of solitary confinement for the benefit of the prisoners. If you make people crazy you get crazy people. Someone that is intelligent, filled with hatred and has nothing to live for, can be quite dangerous. You might imagine you can wear armour or implement distancing, but any failure in these could have bad consequences. Treating people humanely leaves you with humans.

I have no pity for monsters. May they continue to rot.

I only think the punishment should match the crime. Nothing more and nothing less.

Tell your uncle to do an interview on Lockdown 23&1 , I would love to hear stories from his point of view.

Of course his could tell you the shit that happened but probably won't haha

I agree. His case needs reviewing, so many worse cases in general population wings and he's locked up in a basement

Yea and its not like he was killing upstanding individuals or just your average prisoners, they were all child abusers and molesters from what I can tell and while I dont support vigilante justice we can all agree killing someone like that is way different from killing some guy you are robbing.

@@Flakjacket96 This is what I've read also. He's a victim of child abuse experiencing the exact method of deprivation that messed him up in the first place. How is that helpful? Surely the original name "House of Correction" infers some hope in helping these people better themselves.

He really doesn't deserve the treatment he gets, he's never been a danger to anything but sex offenders yet he's treated worse and with less leniency than any of them will/would ever face it's so tragic

At his level if he was in a normal cat A he would be surrounded by pedos, sadly however you see it the government has a duty to everyones safety they cant allow a proven killer to intermingle

There's no guarantee it would stay that way. There's no reason to put the staff at any extra risk for one unpredictable nutter.

Yes, there were Pedophiles and Abusers who were already being punished. Its not like this he was hitting the streets and swooping in and taken these guys out while they committing their respective acts. He attacked these men most likely because they reminded him of his father, which basically means anyone who he sees a bit of his father in is potentially fair game even if they aren't pedos or abusers. Abusers and pedophiles aren't born they are made, the difference between him and his victims is he never took things a fully sexual degenerate angle and he made sure his attacks where brutal and fatal so his victims wouldn't worry about him coming back for seconds. So yes he is bad, perhaps not in the purely malicious sense but bad all the same.

Lambent, dude you're a poet, Shakesfuckinpeare his-self would pay to use that analogy. Let me know when your first book comes out.

Mr Maudsley I salute you, and I hope you find peace.

Exactly. He was just a deranged victim of an abuser who took it upon himself to punish other abusers. He could have done much worse.

I do feel somewhat sorry for the guy. 3 of his 4 victims were child molesters. The problem is, the 4th wasn't, and this shows that Maudsley is likely to kill anyone he can, given the chance. He asked to be allowed to commit suicide. His cell is set up in a way to prevent him from harming others or himself. I think it is inhumane to keep people locked up for 40 years. I do not like the death penalty because there is too much chance of an innocent person being executed, but if a prisoner actually wants to die then I see no reason to artificially keep them alive.

Give Robert a ps5 that should perk him up a bit also free Charlie b he never murdered or raped anyone!

@@onlyme9254 Yeah it's weird that Charlie has been mostly in prison for almost 50 years, and his only non-prison crimes were an armed robbery and a later robbery - neither of which involved people getting injured. He's never killed anyone. Most murderers get less than 50 years.

look at some Russian prisons

Omg, I take it googling his full name doesn’t reveal anything? Now I really want to know why or how he disappeared

I can only remember his first name, his surname I think I only heard once and it was quite convoluted as he was Lebanese I think. I did try looking into missing police or corrections officers but this was in 91 or 92 and I didn't have much success.

The renovation of Pentridge is quite lovely, the apartments and shopping centre is really nice. Bit weird when you consider its a prison site.

Neither have I. Just Wakey Prison or The Prison.

I live in Wakefield and I've heard it called the monster mansion, mostly wakey prison though.

I'm from Leeds and my dad mentioned "the monster mansion" just today 😅

ive spent alot of time in prison, never Wakefield. But inmates mainly know it as Monster Mansion. Over 20 years ive heard it called that inside. Absolutly no one wants to go there, as you are on the same wing as sickos and nonces in there. To many off them to do anything about. Id never come out of my cell in that place , lol

I'll say 1 thing, it was damn good T.V

I live right next to the prison just across the road

Yes! Great comment, I was just going to say this
