      I couldn't have put more spelling errors in the captions if I'd tried, well done, top man .
      Incidently I was in HMP Featherstone in 1982 on the same wing as Iain Barrie . He seemed to keep himself to himself and associated with a few long-termers , but was civil to all .
      Tony Lambrianuo was also at Featherstone at the same time but not on the same wing .

    The spelling is infant school level, the AI ''art'' photo's are already too old on youtube and the photos appearing randomly rarely match what's being said in the narration at that time.Some of the 'fact's referred to should come with the obligatory ''allegedly' as they don't come with either source or evidence ( and have since been exposed as untrue anyway) .Apart from all of this, it's another CZcams cutting edge documentary.
