Criminal Prisons During Wwii
What happened to the 'ordinary' prisoners and prison guards during the war? Were they excused service or called up?
Could a man avoid being called up by committing a crime and getting a prison sentence?
I have tried 'googling' but only find references to prisoners' of war.

prison warders were only given civil service status in 1939 but it was not an exempt occupation, prisons places were reserved for spies, aliens and concientious objectors who had not regsitered, some were turned into young offenders institutes as the number of adult convictions reduced. there is plenty of info online and the picture across the UK seems to follow the same pattern.
