" Update from the some of the lads away "

Sun Feb 20, 2011 12:24 pm

Stop reading if you are not interested this is an update from Hewell prison Worcester for people who care about the lads who are locked up and their families.


My son rung this morning, he is still sharing with Steven from Bridgend but they have been moved together to another part of the prison, they are not with the others now but think they will all be moved over to this area shortly...there are some other Welsh lads there though and its not a bad section to be in...

I also heard from Joshs dad from Treorchi who told me that Josh and Shane are in Block 8 at Hewell grange which I believe maybe a D catergory dormitory section of the jail, (open part of the prison) a place all our lads should eventually arrive at...good news for Josh, who had 6 months and another 6 months concurrent sentences for two counts of affray...he has a release date of mid March...his total 12 months was reduced to 6 because of the early guilty plea, not sure when Shane has a release date, my boy is ue out on June 5th.

This prison is a cat B,C,D...There are no sex offenders, arsonists or really serious criminals housed there the Cat B are classed as Prisoners for whom the very highest conditions of security are not necessary, but for whom escape must be made very
difficult. Whereas cat C where most of the lads are housed is classed as Prisoners who cannot be trusted in open conditions, but who do not have the resources and will to make a determined escape attempt.Like I said earlier Catergory D where the lads may all end up is classed as Prisoners who can be reasonably trusted in open conditions.



Visiting orders are proving awkward at the moment with most of the lads having admin problems getting them sorted however we get about 7 or 8 short phone calls every week

Thanks for the continued support we all appreciate it, hope nobody minds these updates, just want to keep the lads in everyones thoughts

Hi

Its Stefs Mum, by the way he has called me a 'tit' for loggin in as that, can you believe it!!! I did try to explain that nobody would know who I was if I logged in as Taryn. I think he has forgiven me and I hope to go into early retirement to match their early release dates. I think he hopes that I do too.

Just arrived back from a visit (no visiting order though, had to beg via e-mail) so they had better get their act together up there. For god sake how difficult can it be. Stefan and Nathan have been moved to block 1, he says Corky and Steven have moved to block 3, not sure if the others are still on block 2 awaiting to move also. Stefan says he is doing okay as are all the boys and I just hope they are home asap, even earlier than the dates they have been given.

PS: What happened yesterday 2 - 1, tut tut tut.

Cheers corky , Shane (Shakey) release date March 21st.

Re: " Update from the some of the lads away "

Sun Feb 20, 2011 10:29 pm

I think most of the lads are in Hewell including the ones mentioned in this thread, I will try to find out though about everyone and try to update, or if anyone can also find out stuff perhaps they could do the same...my son did say there were about 15 City fans there with him and all were doing ok. Shane getting out in March makes sense why him and Josh are in the open part of the prison...sooner the better for all of them.
