The UK poster for Scum

The VHS Art work for Scum

Scum (1979)

This film was made in 1979 based around the prison borstal system that ran in Britain from the 1920's to the 1980's. This was not the first time that this film had been made. In 1977 Scum was made as a TV movie. But was band from being screened by the BBC for being too violent, so it was made again with mostly the same cast for the big screen, it also had a bigger budget.

The borstal system was set up to take  young males from the ages of 14-25 who had committed a crime and would be sent to a Borstal Prison for a short, sharp, shock for up to six weeks, where they would be told what to do and when to do it at all times.

I think that's why the TV film was band at the time, was for the male rape scene that was very violent at the time, and to this day has not been shown on TV. You can now see both on DVD. and they are very good.

Inmates visits UK Part 2

First read part 1.

Part 2.

When the inmate is called down to the visiting room this can take up to an hour. How is this possible?. Well the inmate could be at work, which is at the other side of the prison,at each turn their are so many locked doors that the inmate has to pass through. As the inmate passes through each locked gate he has to be pat frisked, then if he does have anything on him that he should not, then he is striped searched which takes time.

When the inmates get to the visiting room then this time he goes through a full strip search. The family are not aloud to pass anything to the inmate or the inmate is not aloud to pass anything to the family member.

At first seeing each other the inmate is aloud to embrace their visitor. Hands can be held but no more. The only food that can be eaten is from the canteen that is in the visitors room, coffee, tea,  and soft drinks can all be drunk here too.

At all times an officer is moving around  the room to make shore all is in order. With five minutes to the end of the visit a call is made to the room for last goodbyes. Each inmate must stay in his chair until all visitors  have left the room. Then the inmates can leave the room too. Then each inmate waits his turn to go through a full strip search again, before going back to his cell or to his work place.

Alcatraz # 1259
By William G. Baker 
These are two Autobiogrophy's about life on Alcatraz prison Robert Luke book was released in 2011 and now in 2013 William G. Baker's has come out. Both are a very good read, they both talk about their  day to day life on the rock and their life of crime.

I want to base a holiday around a visit to Acatraz. It has always been a place I have wanted to visit. I have quite a number of books on the the history of Alcatraz. It is a real passion of mine.
