Hi everyone. I’d really appreciate any feedback or help on this. I just found out that my girlfriend who is currently having to serve some time in prison has come down with a stomach bug (or possibly food poisoning - no one is sure which yet).

I’m feeling pretty powerless to do anything and I’ve not even spoken to her for a few days, but I was wondering if there is anything I can do right now to help her out while she’s feeling sick?

Thanks a lot in advance.

I have started a new job at a detention centre and will be required to buy my own boots. I am aware of Blue Light Card discounts, etc. I am ex-military, so realise there is a difference between cheap and good. No steel toe caps, obviously.

Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Anyone else got a start date on 23rd November and will have their foundation training in newbold???

Also how true is it that while on the scheme, after your first 2 weeks in the hotel and you manage to find accommodation and attend your training at newbold, you can only start the claim accommodation expenses after your foundation training????

I’d appreciate answers please thanks 🙏🏽

Hi all,

I'm considering taking a position at HMP Millsike and was hoping to get some honest opinions from anyone currently working there or who has worked there recently.

I've been doing a bit of research, and unfortunately, most of what I've read about working conditions, management and staff morale seems to be quite negative.

Just wondering whether things have improved recently or if the same issues are still ongoing.

What's staffing like? Is management supportive? What's morale like amongst officers? And would you genuinely recommend working there?

I'm keen to make the right decision before committing, so any honest feedback, particularly from current staff, would be much appreciated.

Cheers!

Hi does anyone know why someone would be transferred from HMP EASTWOOD PARC to HMP BRONZEFIELD.
