What on earth is a prison enforcer? Never heard of this expression before. Can any prisoner hire these people if they feel under threat?

[bookbinder]

So, it's true what they say, that convicts who have harmed children get a rough time in prison?

[tonyav]

Looks like it if you can provide tobacco, maggie !.

[askyourgran]

He must be paying them pretty well, nonces are looked favourable among prisoners so I'm told.

[Ken4155]

They are ordinary prisoners - 'heavies' - who, as it says, he pays with tobacco. Very wise of him, imho.

[B00]

If they've got the dosh and or goods they can hire any prisoner they want to maggie, which is what prison enforcers are....fellow cons who've been bought as thugs for hire.

He could always hide out in the Jungle,he,ll be welcomed there.

[Baldric]

His Gang eh?

[Valmave]

Come on, come on Baldrick.

[Baldric]

It would appear someone does Want to touch him!

[Valmave]

Indeed - BTW apologies Baldric.

[excelsior-1]

it appears that he's doing alright with the boys

[Baldric]

Boys will be Boys I suppose.

Never ceases to amaze me how some people believe everything that they read in the 'news'.
Read this story today in one of the Sunday rags with the added information that he was also first in the queue at the prison pharmacy for his medication and the 'news' that he didnt have to work in prison. The fact that 'pensioners' are not required to work in prison wasnt mentioned, neither was their 'source'.
I'm no fan of Glitter by a long shot but believing everything that the press prints requires a mentality that is shut off from questioning.
I remember a similar story about Rolf Harris been moved to Stafford prison (not far from me) that said he was moved to a 'cushiour' prison because he was been bullied.
The fact is, prisoners get moved about, regardless of their crimes and how on earth would a newspaper know (as oppose to speculate) that Glitter has 'heavies' around him in prison?

Hope Glitter rots in prison but I also wish that people would stop believing everything thats reported in the gutter press.
Glitter WILL NOT get preferential treatment, hes just a nonce banged up with other nonces.

[mastercraft]

Apparently the three 'minders' have all had their hands down the pants of young girls. They're protecting their own - and getting paid for it!

[nailit]

and your source is?...

[mastercraft]

People in the know.

[nailit]

you know some some convicted paedos in the same prison as Gary Glitter then mastercraft?

[mastercraft]

No, I said 'people in the know'. Who else, other than the convicted might that be?

[EDDIE51]

nalit is correct here. There are NEVER any 'news stories' about serving prisoners released by the prison service, or any official channel. The newspapers rely on paying for 'stories' from released prisoners who have been in the same jail as a well known inmate. These people will say anything the reporters want them to as long as they get paid. The news papers are always careful to cover themselves by saying that the stories are 'reports' or ' it is reported that'
