Life In Prison - At Christmas - Amanda Green Reveals All

Prison Life at Christmas is no fun.Crime doses't pay and being in jail missing family & friends is criminal in itself. Imagine waking up on Christmas morning to the sound of a lock being turned and a heavy steel door being flung open. Imagine opening your eyes to a sparse cell, with a few frayed photos tacked to the wall and a stainless steel toilet and sink in the corner instead of a tree. Imagine pulling on your grey, prison issue uniform and descending the metal staircase to the breakfast hall. Imagine beginning Christmas day away from your loved ones, but surrounded by hundreds of other inmates dreaming of home. This is the reality for over 80,000 people in the UK who will spend Christmas day in prison this year. Former member of the Manchester underworld Cody Lachey has spent two Christmases in prison. One at HMP Manchester, better known as Strangeways and another at private Manchester prison, Forest Bank. Cody explains that Christmas in Strangeways felt like any other day. The inmates ate in their cells and remained on lockdown for 23 hours. The only exception was a tree in the prison’s central rotunda and a Christmas meal consisting of ‘anaemic chicken, watery gravy and roast spuds you could have put a window through with.’ Cody is now a criminal justice and prisoners’ rights campaigner, giving talks at universities and regularly posting to his YouTube channel Ex Con Cody. The former member of both the Gooch and Noonan Brother’s gang reveals that in the two prisons he served in, inmates could not be sent presents. They could not receive incoming phone calls and any letters or cards had to be photocopied due to incidences of letters being soaked with psycho-active substance spice.
