Your first night in prison. 

It must be horrific waking up the morning after your first night and then all of a sudden remembering where you are. Must be awful.

My 1st night in prison was my last night of getting jammed up with the law. I learned my lesson and will never go back!

I was in Armley prison in the mid 90's on remand. It was only a couple of weeks, but I remember it was still slop out back then. I dont remember getting any food or phone money on induction, just some nasty tea from a tea urn. I had been in local police cells several times overnight before, but this was my first and luckily last experience of a real prison. I am not proud, but at least I know what it's actually like first hand. It was quite intimidating, but luckily I just kept my head down and got out after only a short time.

Respect bro as always from Sheffield hope you n your family are well mate 👍

I remember my first night like it was yesterday ( actually November ' 81 ) . I heard the bell in the morning and got off the top bunk , thinking it was my normal bed at home . That was a jolt and a half . I thought I was going to work . The reality of my situation soon dawned on me . If they had let me out right then and there, I'd have gone straight for the rest of my life ! Instead I became a career criminal for the next 20 years until I met a lady and completely changed my life around . You never forget your first prison number , D81115 .

“Fist night in prison” I thought this video was gonna be of another kind 😂

I've only been to prison once and don't plan to go back but if for whatever reason I ended back inside it would be a walk in the park as far as I'm concerned. But every night I was in prison from my first night to my last night I always had a good night sleep weather I was sharing a cell or had my own made no difference I always slept well but prison wasn't as bad as people make it out to be really don't get me wrong it's no holiday camp but you can find ways to be kept busy and the time will fly by as it did for me. And on my first day out I found a pub to go to and have a few beers and a bite to eat and relax in the beer garden was amazing

My first night I cried for about an hour. Just thinking of the shame I'd brought on my family and everyone else. My parents best friends were a couple of retired RAF veterans and worked in the prison service. I remembered as a young child hearing their jail stories and being scared and shocked. The next morning I woke and could here his booming voice down on the floor. I lent over from the 3rd floor gazing at him.....he looked up and the look on his face was priceless 😂 The next day I was shipped out to Cardiff. An English boy in a Welsh jail...super

Fascinating stuff, your presentation is excellent Ricky. It must be terrible in the summer when temperatures reach 25-30 degrees in the UK. The screws sound like sadists, or at least some of them anyway.

Another quality video Ricky, thanks.

Germany, Weiterstadt Prison: single Bed Cell, Fridge in each Cellroom, Swimming Hall, own Cable flat TV, Soccerfield, Gym Hall, nice Courtyards and more

I've met some of the nicest blokes I know inside! Everyone hates a criminal until they themselves are speeding, using a phone while driving, dodging tax, buying knockoff goods, buying their 'social' drug supply, stealing gear from work etc etc etc, the list is endless We're all criminals, some of us aren't hypocritical about it.

Once again a very informative recollection of your story line Ty oh I think it would be a great help to society if we paid you to go into schools and pass all this on to youngsters you do a great job,once again thanks-tc

Hi Ricky. I'm relatively new to your channel, and I have to say, I'm very impressed. Your videos are highly informative and enjoyable, and they offer a glimpse of what prison is like, and why people should aim to stay out of it.

Send this to the Home Office, see if you can get it Licenced and shown on every induction wing🎉🎉😂😂🎉🎉

If you can't do the time, don't do the crime.

When the door slams behind you, for the first time in induction. That’s when the reality kicks in.

Another good video from Ricky 😂

Do screws move you from cells if you can’t get on with your current cell mates

Gday from Western Australia!!! All the best Cobber!

Don’t think I’d survive one night !!! 😩

Been clean now for 10 years and have never been in trouble since have started me own cleaning company up now have 5 vans on the road and employ 15 people

My first night I woke up in morning thinking I was at home 😂 till u see 25 stone smackhead underneath you

'Room-service' doesn't sound all that swift Ricky. I'd be happy kipping under wriggly tin in a ditch, as long as I woke up to no bars and no people. FTT. The feeling of being trapped would take some sort of adapting to, for me. I've spent all my life living in the sticks. I'm glad we had no security cameras and digital tech when I was young and wild. I'da gone to jail 100%. I was as wild as a fitch in a barrel of blood. I always look forward to your videos. They are fascinating and give me a sense of well-being and luck, from 'missing the bullet'. Thank you Ricky. You are a man.

My sentence 2.5 years to serve 15 months(selling drugs) My first night was in HMP Altcourse Liverpool. I’d been told out of all the jails in the country this was easy. I went onto Canal Brown which was an induction wing. I shared a cell with a full blown and too far gone heroin addict. Nice guy and it went smoothly but he was ticking..it was a weird relief to be in jail as at the time I was homeless, no job and living each day as it came. Jail gave me 3 meals a day and some stability to review my options and hopefully get my life back on track…since coming out I have a daughter, been fully employed since 2005 and living on a stunning island in Scotland..I just needed to be strong!!

I used to hate the screws that would rattle their keys , they did not all do it but some of them loved to rattle their keys.

My fist night was shit was still coming down of a ecstasy tablet been sentenced for 5 years at Southampton crown court for drug dealing was awful banged up at HMP Winchester

Ricky please do one of parkhurst 😂

Great content again. Would be interested to know more about medical care in prison.

Love these videos

Wake up and it hits you like a brick

I've never been to prison for 30yrs and I didn't realise that they have these machines good content anyway Ricky

Great insight 👏🏻

I like the title 'Your first night in prison'. But I'm not expecting a 'first night in prison'! Perhaps it should be 'Your hypothetical first night in prison'!

Fist 😂😂😂😂😂 good lad Ricky pal

Always good to hear from u big man Always real an 1 of very few left respect as always mate 🤝🙏

I think you are doing a good job.

Great video Ricky lad❤

Love your videos m8 top man

Sounds like a bundle of joy! 😂

Best thing to get in your head on your first night. You are not the toughest, you are not the most afraid, people don't want to listen to your bullshit, people are worse off than you so accept your consequences. Don't borrow, don't steal, don't let people take advantage(better to have a black eye than be a repeat victim) do your own time(this means other people's problems are their own, you have enough on your hands dealing with your own sentence) don't trust anyone you don't know well, trust everyone with the same kind of respect you'd treat a stranger at the bus stop or queue(chat shit to pass a bit of time but don't befriend cos a lot of people in there try to manipulate and will talk to you just to see if they can take from you) do something constructive(I read hundreds of books and done dozens of education courses but for some like this fella it'll be gym ) only get high if you can afford it(I was an addict and made and distilled hooch and so didn't get into debt but I did get a lot of added days for this, and I I saw many get slashed for debts that started at a fiver). Many cons are not "criminal types" like junkies or ganbangers, they're just people who lashed out drunk or snapped when their bird cheated, so it can happen to you

My first night was good i had the cell to myself first time in jail aint been back since. Prison Is quite alot better than i expected it to be

Nice 1 Ricky 👍🏼

Thanks mate

I would just swagger in like I was carrying two carpets. Slap the first screw I see and tell them how it’s working from now on. I’m the new gov’nur. simple as.

Good video Ricky 👍

Thank you

I remember the feeling they took my human rights away and I shared a cell with a boy who spoke to his dead dad and cry I suffer mental health so I was really anxious never going back

Mind your own business, keep your opinions to yourself, don't trash talk anybody and be prepared to fight if you are being treated like a punk, you don't have to win the fight but you have to stand up for yourself.

Its that dream you have about normal life and then you wake up with bars on your window and an Albanian man youve never met in a bed next to yours. Killer

It's down to maintenance for the heating plus it's on for about six months constantly.

still catching up with all your vids ricky,hence why random likes.

Going to prison aged 20 Good video Mate Ready for survival of the fittest

My first night in the scrubs was mad could see my old school and shout to my mum's neighbors, still not a nice experience

So if i get sent to jail ill make sure to say ill set fire to my cell mate. I hate sharing.

He said a seasoned pro. Hahah

Wow not bad at all nothing like joining the Para Regt in 1982. And I had'nt done anything wrong lol! How easy and cushy things have become. No wonder prison isn't a deterent just a second home!

Why are you there in the first place. I was lucky I had great parents a soft caring mum but my Dad was ex Military and highly disciplined he taught me respect . How you are brought up can make a big difference. Stay good.

I worked reception as a medic, always sorted the addicts out with methadone or whatever to get them through the first night, because I was fair the addicts often helped me out when situations arose at the treatment hatch.

From Scotland but spent a week in jail in upstate New York. ( Clinton jail ) . Overstayed my Visa by 18 years. Because I was an illegal immigrant your not entitled to legal representation. After a week I was bonded out $20,000. 6 months later in front of a judge. It was a surreal experience being locked up and waking in the morning to the electrical buzz , that was the cell door opening. Black and white striped uniform and orange slip on shoes. It sounds strange but a great experience . Take nothing for granted in life. A very humbling experience . The border patrol and prison staff were very professional but the guys from ICE were total c***s.

I don't know if I would be ok but I'd keep my head down

I have never ever had a First Night in Prison as its explained in the leaflet you're handed at Reception, Healthcare take their time issuing you your Medicines even if you've brought it in with you labelled properly. If you haven't a clue you'll get stitched up by others first thing in the morning especially your Phone PIN as you're able to phone anyone within the first 48 hours before they process your allowed contacts. The First Night Wing Officers aren't much help either, more than likely they'll threaten you with a nicking for using the cell bell and hardly ever give you a chance to check you've got everything you need for your first night! More than likely the cell was stripped out by the wing cleaners before you get there and things are missing such as the pillow and matress, the kettle and TV Aerial. I don't know if Covid Restrictions are still in place but 3 years ago I started out in HMP Chelmsford and had to do 14 days isolation in a single cell - unfortunately I've got previous experience - everymeal was brought to the door and exercise was barely 30 minutes a day, no assocation and 5 minures for a shower in the morning. Ricky Killeen, have you thought of doing a video preparing people for their first time inside? I've been lucky with people advicing me the first time I was locked up, I had some cash, sealed Tobacco - this was in 2003 - toiletries and a few reading books. Having some knowledge of what to expect goes along way, especially when most Officers tell you to fill in an Application when you ask them the most basic question!

That as got to be the most scarest thing ever I got put in a boarding school when I was 9 sharing a room with 5 other people young age being away from family and didn't get out till I.was 16 and not knowing who I am sharing a room and it drove me insane but since I have left I have always worked and made me a better person as I had to Learn the hard way

Am sure you read my MIND 🎉

My first time in I just got settled in on the induction wing getting on great with my pad mate then thay came to move me on the main it was just like starting again😂

What's a passageway?

Is bending down to pick up the soap in the showers safe ?

Yes Ricky haha good old days eh lol 😂

Been jail loads of times, its easy piece of piss, the punishment is the boredom. Been out 11 years now as changed my path in life. Jails a mugs game, waste of life

After the first day it's OK. I rather enjoyed not being part of the rat race to be honest

Even as a first timer your first night in Prison is nothing compared to your first night in the old Borstals, It was brutal, and only went downhill from there

they remand you into maghaberry prison in the north of ireland

good job mate, got a few skinny burn parcels through in the old arsenal back in the day after a court appearance, maybe different now

My first night in Spanish prison was way worse than any uk prison more holiday camps

I'm commenting RU-vid from Prison y'all.

prison is hell in the earth..

The sound of keys and doors slaming does your head in.

Especially if u we're drunk the night before 😮

Hi ricky i know ive ask u before but what is the tune called that u use cos my nephew likes it ty x

Induction wing in Durham is on D wing well it was D chopped in half think it’s called e wing but technically it’s D wing

You better learn to like strip searches .

I might be looking at prison soon for drug offences all riding on if I get a good jury or not but if found guilty can be looking at 5 years. The vids you do are helping me feel a bit better and to know what to expect as everyone has story's on how bad it is and what happens but they have never been to prison so have no idea. One good advice i got from my brother is don't piss off the screws as someone did that in the prison my brother is at and the screw just went round saying that guy was a nonce to the other prisoners when he was not but they did not care and he got a good kicking and had to be moved to secure wing with the nonce's so don't piss them off or annoy them.

All sounds like I got but I had to have visits as no phones back then no TV no toilet just a sink and box for clothes I didn't know what hit me I couldn't settle my first night was a nightmare

a result i call that

Fascinating videos! Are the guards usually a mixed bunch? I'm betting you get the twats on powertrips but are there any one the other end of the scale?

their crazy scotswood crew but its there own area and they just like annoying cops and all rest but their one of lads crew i remeber back in day when joyriding and acid house was massive bit brofre ya time that ricky im 50 now but joy riding and junlgle techno and acid house was massive in newcastle ram raid capiital of the world once newcastle and acid house

1990=1003 newcatle had it for acid house and joyriding

I've never been to prison and never even been arrested, but I'm appalled that the prison staff would turn the heating up to make the prisoners suffer. 😠 No matter what a person has done to end up in prison, they should be treated with humanity and have a level of human care to keep them physically and mentally healthy. As a human society, we have a duty of care to people in prison, they are our fellow human beings. I think you will have FAR LESS re-offending if you treat the people in prison as human beings, give them a reasonable level of care and guide them in the right direction to stop offending, and help them follow a productive, and crime free life. That's better for the offenders, and better for society. IMHO Yes! It costs money, but I'm happy to pay more tax if it means that people in prison are treated with at least a basic level of humanity and encouragement rather than demonising them.

Holme house you missed that’s a local from Teesside and they go to Durham if remanded

08:44 - Itchy scratchy

Ricky are there any tough gay lads in prison?

What happens to stuff at home? For instance, a single person, no family, what happens to everything he has at home and if a home owner what happens to the home?

she doesnt wann hear it

I've been to Elmoey

Nothing worse than a police stn cell for more than 24hrs though

my suster will last 20 mins on gen pop before she gets an hiding

How are you doing Ricky ? You havent uploaded any new videos for a while mate. I hope that all is okay with you ?

How do they get all these prisoners into their cells after they’ve been outside and stuff?

This is for anyone's opinion really. My mate has went to prison for 10 year and his crime has affected alot of people. Should I just be normal and mates again when he's out? I mean he's classed as a criminal now and might be targeted but lied to me for 9/10 years also. Also the papers put his address out there. Will he have to move city or will people forget by then? Thanks in advance

Hope I never get to experience that
