Seems the appropriate time so say that the average wage for a regular prison officer in the UK (outside London and surrounding area) is 22-24k. Disgusting.

sick rates must be through the roof. Can't imagine going into that cess pit of humanity day after day.
Also, with that level of pay it must be tempting to take money off that Trott to bring in Spice.
 
(I imagine) It happens. The average wage in the UK is 27k too. I’m going to use that phrase... something needs to be done.
Police officers are paid far far more. Most probably because they’re in the public eye whereas prison officers are not.

They are paid more because the government haven’t privatised them in an effort to make them work for less

It is that. They didn't come across very well, but I couldn't imagine doing that, especially for that wage.
 
Did they not? How so?
The prison service as a whole I meant. Mainly due to the open drug use and the disorder around the place. But guess cracking down would result in kick off that couldn't be managed with low staff levels.

I think everyone would love to crack down on it. There’s just not the staff. Half the time we don’t even know how it’s getting in. And when we do know it’s in (including phones etc.) there isn’t the staff, time and resources to do anything about it.

Can well imagine. I'd have thought it would be really hard to get it in, but spice sounds like a tough one to handle.
