I,m from Salford too and on Easter Sunday 1990 i lived on the 9th floor of Blackfriars court across the Irwell ,me and my now ex Mrs were just getting up when it all kicked off with the riot .Later that night we walked with the baby still in her pram across the river to the prison ,it was a carnival sort of atmosphere with TV crews from across the world all lined up .The burger and hot dog sellers with their little trolleys came from town and were all parked up doing a roaring trade in food ,one told me he had never had it so good ! As the nights progressed the police helicopters were all over the place all night long .That week the weather was scorching hot and no way could you get to sleep with the noise and heat at the same time ,we walked over many times late at night just to cool down and to try and get the baby to sleep .Whole families were there with countless kids ,the saddest part was when the police entered the prison with a large haul of body bags expecting the worst .It was thought they would find many sex offenders dead but cannot remember if that actually happened in the end .The baby we tried to get to sleep those nights is now 33 married with two kids of her own by the way ,hard to believe its so long ago now .
When we were kids, we would get a bottle of something and get drunk, these days I think drugs are cheaper than booze and easier to get their hands on. These children need to see more the horror stories, and meet the people whose lives are ruined and desperate. It will never stop all of them but certainly may make a few stop and think. As always great guest.
It will get much worse, why do you think tens of thousands of Albanians are coming over the channel, the Albanians control the heroin trade in Europe now and are running the dial-a-gram services for Coke in many cities as well. "We must be mad, literally mad"
Nah. Booze in the UK is cheap and easy. Bottle of turbo white for 2 quid lol... You can also buy it everywhere... Now it's a different story in Ontario where I live you have to go to a government licensed LCBO establishment with ridiculous opening hours at a location of their choice and then pay a ridiculous socialist government inflated price for your alcohol... incidentally we have some of the worst alcoholic care in the world... So Clearly socialism doesn't work... I have already paid for about 3 years worth of rehab and I'm not even a heavy drinker just through my alcohol taxes
26:46.., I done 11 months and 17 days on remand in crumlin road prison, after about 3 months the life you had outside feels like a dream you once had, when I had visitors it felt like they were being beamed up from another dimension, prison does something to a man's head that disconnects them from the outside world.
Andy I can only imagine what it’s like too have your freedom taken away. Suddenly mundane everyday things like walking down the local shops must seem like a distant memory and a luxury you’d give anything too have back
I can remember them day can of bear or bottle of wine and food brought lots of oranges injected with vodka 🤔 e wing was borstal allocation wing can remember Mr thacker ruthless....
Great stuff Sam, this has got to be the scariest most intimidating place in the uk. You go into Manchester shopping and then you see that tower and it makes you shiver..
Fascinating video, Sam. When Lee was talking about lines (torn blanket) being thrown out of a window, on Larry Lawton's podcast, he called lines Kites - torn up sheets are used to sling messages/magazines across to other cells in solitary.
Ur rite they are called kites but that not the sheets that’s called throwing a line . A kite is toilet roll out your window let it blow to next door until it gets to where it ment to go when they get it we tie thin piece of green blanking shred it put 1 long piece of it on end then they pull toilet roll with thin piece beding on end then u got a strong line lol
MR S I think you might have caught onto something here ya know. Loved it ! Out and about with Lee Brilliant 👏 👌 Its a different look, really Mr S can't sing your praises enough with this ! Love to you and yours. Stay safe x
That was really good. That Croft Bridge was there when I visited in the 1980’s. We went through it and saw the huge gym on the other side. We went to the kitchens then too and the prisoners had the floor drains up and were cleaning them. You could eat off the floor, the place was spotless. That was a brilliant vlog mate and it reminded me of the days when I’d go detached to Broughton Fire Station up the road and we’d deal with rubbish and assorted waste fires around there. Take care mate.
We used to (swing lines) on D Wing which was the sentenced wing of the crumlin road, we used to use the string from the old itchy blankets and tie them onto the handle of out blue plastic pint mug, you'd shout out to the next cell and put whatever in the mug from baccy to toasties, put the mug out the window and swing it from side to side till the guy in the next cell caught it, he'd do the same until it got to the right cell, were about 40 cells each side of D Wing and 3 landings, Royal Mail would have envied our delivery techniques.
Great vlog again Sam “ I couldn’t go back for no money” Sam that resonates how bad I must be working in the prison service is now. No wonder my 23 year old neighbour only lasted 3 weeks as a prison officer. Great too see Lee along for the chat🙂
Visited strange ways in 2005 massive visiting room and they were removing babies nappys. Mission accomplished though that day if you know u know. Been in about 10 jails built exactly the same as strange ways so feel like I've been there.
Hi Sam, just received your book Strangeways unlocked..got to say its a very interesting read so far ,I'm only on chapter 5 ,yet again great stuff sam, 👍 👊
This vlog was so good i watched it 3 times Deffo a place you don't want to be hanging around late at night as Lee says you would deffo get rolled round there Cant wait for the Lee interview i bet he has some brilliant stories to tell
Done nights pretty much for 5 years down Liverpool block ,week on week off ,had 3 serious ghostly incidents, quiet 80% off the time with a few not so quiet
Worked for a company that did this sort of thing, they are actually bird nets, sparrow nests to be precise. That's a smaller gauge. I remember a job had to be redone. They were hitting tennis balls over the net after setting them alight to Burn through the net. They got caught and the net was redone.
Cool blog, matey. Looks well dodgy to my discerning eye. Stuff walking around there at night. Another excellent job, sir! Love your rapper with these blokes, a testament to your good character!
Brilliant video our Sam. I really enjoyed it. Your friend Lee sounds like a great soul. It would be cool to see him out with you more often on your night walks. I must send you a few photos from my area through email. . I'll show you the amount of rubbish people dump. I can relate. It seems if it's dark and a bit quiet people have no problem dumping. They'll fill the car up and get in and drive to dump their stuff... Big love to you our Sam. Big respect to Lee.
hello Mr S just in the middle of reading your book, strangeways page 158. such a really good book, was trying to find the ITV doco you mention on page 157. 😀 💙🇬🇧💖
Great to see Lee I wondering how he was getting on Sam so it Great to see him looking well all the best to Lee and and family and the same to you Sam as always
Very atmospheric Sam. I'm not sure why (because Strangeways still gives me the sh*ts) but I enjoyed that walk and talk between you and Lee, and looking forward to your sit-down conversation. Lee was dead right there at the end...unless you've been on the other side of that wall you have no idea what life is like, it really is a different planet. Look after yourself Sam, Billie and Amy are in my thoughts.
Hi sam Been away on holiday so just catching up on your vlog great work as usual strangeways gives off a different vibe at night its such a shame the surrounding area has Been so badly neglected I agree with you that area needs substantial redevelopment actually quite surprised it hasn't already been bought by a developer Really enjoyed hearing lee's insight and perspective wishing youself and lee all the success and happiness in the world Best regards to your family keep up amazing work you Have truly found your calling with Real porridge you Have a gift for helping people
great content sam. never taken a drug in my life and i don’t know anyone who takes drugs. but I’m aware there is a problem and it’s such a shame to see on the streets. kindest regards, stuart from stockport 48yrs old male
Remember when my dad was banged up in there in the early 2000s. I was 15 and I was happy because he'd just got out of the army, I thought he was going to be around more, but one night he got drunk and assaulted an off duty copper. I remember when he called me just before my my A Level History exam and I couldn't talk, I was stressed and I was rude to him and hung up. I feel bad about that now he's dead and I've got kids of my own. Life is rough.
I've been in Strangeways numerous times as a paramedic. I can back up Sam and Lee's claims. It's not a holiday camp. I can't speak for every Cat A prison, but I can assure you if you become seriously ill in Strangeways you are fucked. The screws and nurse will do their best. But then you've got the ambulance response time. So when the ambulance turns up at the main gate and you go into a double gated entrance, like an air lock. At this point the screws briefly check the ambulance, you have to confirm your identity and surrender your personal phones, the ambulance phone and your Airwaves radios. Then you enter the prison. Inside there's like a ring road. Now this isn't a ring road that you can go screeching around at 90mph to get to the wing. Every 100m or so is a gate. The screw escorting you has to unlock the gate, lock it again behind you. This goes on until you get to the wing. You park up and then you enter the proper prison. As Sam will tell you it's proper Victorian. Narrow passageways and steep stairs. No lifts. Going in as ambulance crew the pair of you could be carrying upto 70kg of kit between you so it's an embuggurance. You get to the patient, treat them and if they're still alive you have to extricate them down the stairs, no lifts there. Then they'll be double cuffed in the ambulance, you have to go back through all the gates, you go back to the main gate, get your personal kit back whilst the screws sort out the appropriate paperwork. So if you're having a heart attack or stroke it could be two hours before you eventually get to hospital. I also liked the bit where you walked down to Counterfeit Street. The amount of litter there is a disgrace. And that's just the main drag. Go down the side roads and you're entering the Thirld World. Summat which I noticed you were too polite to mention, all these shops are run by a certain section of society which are an ethnic minority. A'l si thi.
Oh the sht parcels omg nasty they were and the shit pacel squad of inmates who cleaned up, ppl trying to get them to land on roof of paddy wagon so when it brakes at bottom of Rd they all slide of roof nasty jail times in he 80's
I went for an officer recruitment assessment at Strangeways around 8 years ago and it was exactly the same then around the streets - filthy, dirty, rubbish everywhere. It hasn’t changed one bit. I never got the job and after I watching your channel I’m glad I didn’t 😉
Great vlog Sam keeping it fresh lee looks a fascinating character as always with Sam there was a great connection with lee looking forward to the interview with lee being a Salford lad did he have any contact with the late Paul Massey.total respect as always Sam.
@@leetwamley2791 cheers lee thank you for your reply.looking forward to your interview with Sam having read so much about Paul Massey and the Salford lads which I found fascinating all the best pal.
Hi Sam 1971 my first time there Borstal twice YP once would not like to go back now days only gate was the main was the big oak ones K wing 3up yp was H wing anyway all the best Sam regards Frank
How do sam & lee 🙏 tht place looks well rough n dodgy- n im not even talking about the prison🤣. Thanks for the vlog sam n lee for ur stories, very interesting, looking forward to lee’s interview. Thanks again guys, stay safe , Nicola x
Big respect to you Lee and Sam carnt understand that you think strangeways is a shit hole it always was a shithole and always will be it was rough in the 80s when I was in their and 90s and 2001 the place needs rebuilding it's a dump Sam stay safe
I think they were meaning all the rubbish in the street around the joint Carl.Its a given that the nick is a shytehole though, im in New Zealand and we know all about the dump so the word is out there. Or out here. 😀
How you doing Samo hope you are well! It's great to see you with ex offenders,it really shows how much people thought of you, my friend Ben remembers you from Forest wank he said you were the best screw there, you were firm but fair and funny in a dry way! I won't say to much but if you remember a little fella called Ben but Neb or Nebro is what he's known as! Great to see you trying to help ex offenders I've got a lot of respect for you mate all the best love from London and Dublin X
Very interesting walk and chat this. As someone who is approaching their 30’s slowly but surely (might not seem old to some) but I can definitely tell that the youth of today have fuck all and are in trouble. I remember going to Youth clubs in the summer holidays and that was your six weeks, playing Rugby at the local club etc, there is shite all for them now. It’s a shame the government doesn’t fund youth clubs.
Brilliant vlog so so interesting and Lee is so right they should have a youth club or something for young people as the old saying goes devil makes work for idol hands Brilliant vlog Sam all the best to you and yours and the same to Lee from a fan from Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪
Blimey that Vlog has brought back memories, once a shit hole always a shit hole, never changes round there. We used to buy a kebab and park the Capri up in the road next to the prison to eat it. Never took long for them to realise we were there, and let the verbals commence each side got as good as it gave ( pre riots this ) it was an exercise in Police and Prisoner bonding. Life time ago Sam, mind you in them days I would guarantee you would be approached by the cops walking around the prison like that ……these days no cops available for anything…. What a safe and wonderful country we live in. 😂
I went to see Bruce Springsteen years back in the Etihad, and there is a premier Inn type hotel that we stayed in. Me and my sister could see the prison from our room window. Proper sussy vibes, and i went the shop the next morning, and dound myself down that snide shop road... Jesus - I thought i was gonna get abducted 😮. Ibe never been so fast on my heels to get back the safety of the hotel. All the owners eyeballing me 😮, stood at their shop doors...loads of them 😂
very interesting.... hitting on how do we educate kids in school....... I am an ex HEROIN addict 17 YEARS clean, i would LOVE to put some kind of programme together, with a police/prison officer i would tell my story to every kid who would listen. i have been left with DENTURES P.T.S.D. there is a big list what comes with certain life styles, and so many missed years what could have been. i can't help but wonder if something was there in school, would that have put me off or does curiosity ACTUALLY kill the cat....
@@RealPorridgePodcast thank you, means a lot does that. i honestly believe some kind of shock REALITY education should be in place, kids are growing up fast these days. and all the best with your channel not that it needs it...
Stood outside there with Lee in 1987 waiting for taco to get released seems like yesterday and Lee had a proper mop of black hair funny enough I always remember him saying when he was in there he kept saying give em loads over and over real kid him .
well to be honest sam it.s not some thing i do and thank you for asking me i like to watch the blogs tho. and all i said was. DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM. and then look what happend it went nuts lol am glad i never said my name 4 times perish the thought .

All that litter !!! Great video
Great vid Sam, I'm really enjoying your videos mate, keep up the great work, and keep doing u bud. 👍🇺🇲🗽🏴👍
very kind dude cheers
Very interesting walk and chat this. As someone who is approaching their 30’s slowly but surely (might not seem old to some) but I can definitely tell that the youth of today have fuck all and are in trouble. I remember going to Youth clubs in the summer holidays and that was your six weeks, playing Rugby at the local club etc, there is shite all for them now. It’s a shame the government doesn’t fund youth clubs.
Counterfeit St (bury new rd) is finished now..😩 Good while it lasted 👍
Love bury new road ☺️🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 it’s not dangerous but it’s scary when coppers show up and they shut all shutters with you inside 🤪
lol your used to dealing with eeeerrrrmmmm the public shall we say!
Great video Sam👍

Nice one lads, what a dump!
New watcher good content bro 💪
cheers dude and welcome
Blimey that Vlog has brought back memories, once a shit hole always a shit hole, never changes round there. We used to buy a kebab and park the Capri up in the road next to the prison to eat it. Never took long for them to realise we were there, and let the verbals commence each side got as good as it gave ( pre riots this ) it was an exercise in Police and Prisoner bonding. Life time ago Sam, mind you in them days I would guarantee you would be approached by the cops walking around the prison like that ……these days no cops available for anything…. What a safe and wonderful country we live in. 😂
Afternoon fellas
how do
I went to see Bruce Springsteen years back in the Etihad, and there is a premier Inn type hotel that we stayed in. Me and my sister could see the prison from our room window. Proper sussy vibes, and i went the shop the next morning, and dound myself down that snide shop road... Jesus - I thought i was gonna get abducted 😮. Ibe never been so fast on my heels to get back the safety of the hotel. All the owners eyeballing me 😮, stood at their shop doors...loads of them 😂
80s 5 clubs closed in a 2 mile push 2 swimmings. Think 1 swimming pool left
Nice one fellas 👍
cheers dude
I'm a big fan of you＋👍🔔

Brill video pal just wanted to ask I know you have used clips of you from a documentary before I was just wondering what the documentary was called?
inside strangeways mate! had to take the vids down, cheers dude
very interesting.... hitting on how do we educate kids in school....... I am an ex HEROIN addict 17 YEARS clean, i would LOVE to put some kind of programme together, with a police/prison officer i would tell my story to every kid who would listen. i have been left with DENTURES P.T.S.D. there is a big list what comes with certain life styles, and so many missed years what could have been. i can't help but wonder if something was there in school, would that have put me off or does curiosity ACTUALLY kill the cat....
I would have people like yourself in schools dude! Cheers all the best!
@@RealPorridgePodcast thank you, means a lot does that. i honestly believe some kind of shock REALITY education should be in place, kids are growing up fast these days. and all the best with your channel not that it needs it...
Great street vid mate 🤣
