Drug use in HM prisons

A brilliant in-depth look at the wounds, trauma inflicted inmates in the United Kingdom hold and the links they will go to in order to soothe that pain

Super good!

A highly recommended listen.

Enjoy but….

JC2late4/11/2026

The background sounds and music that are all built in to create the scene and the sense of drama get to be too much, to the point that I’ve stopped listening to the episodes/series in some cases because it’s just not enjoyable. The story is lost in them.

what did you say?

I'm here listening to this podcast on the North Shore of Massachusetts and I can't understand one word that is being said by the criminals/ witnesses on this podcast!! Specifically the Paul Massey episodes, whenever Paul Massey is speaking I can NOT understand one word he is saying even though he is speaking (I can only presume) English!!! What is the point if the only poeple that can understand Paul Massey are the locals of the Manchester neighborhood of Salford that can speak (and understand) that very particular (peculiar?) dialect of English!!

Pervert Behavior season 6

The presenter is simply awful. Stilted language, stupid opinions, grade A bootlicker. Season 6 proves these dirty pigs act just as illegally as criminals (only worse cuz they act all high minded). Buncha pervs spending their whole day listening in to stranger’s phone calls. Ewwww
