The Blog

Ben is coming home next week!

He wants me to tell readers that the blog WILL continue, but the title of it may change slightly.  Ben will have lots to write about, adjusting to life in the "real" world, after 32 years inside.

  4. My advice to Ben would be to 'bang him-self up' until they are ready to let him walk out the gate.

    This would avoid any chance of altercation with either vindictive staff or cons intent on scuppering his discharge.

    A week is (capable of turning into) a long time in prison.

    Best of luck.

  5. Yes I agree with Darby, Ben keep yourself to yourself. I remember my last minute problems in HMP Leyhill which screwed up my chances at the last moment. But overall I can speak for everyone, I am so so glad your finally going home. Guess now is your chance to see how the real NHS works!!

  7. It's a bit like Ronnie Barker's 'Porridge' sequel: 'Going Straight'.

  9. Ben - how wonderful! You may recal that many years ago I said I would welcome you at the gate.
    Contact me privately and the promise is still on.
