 TLO what's poppin We are on twitch we are not live, but you can leave a like comment to suck so that by that by that You can leave a like comment subscribe turn on your post notification Bezman let's continue to grow the family for Chicago to the UK. I'm gonna edit that out. You know We all mess up. We'll see my mess up stuff HMP Birmingham life inside HMP is this the one we just did not that was a psych war Okay, I got this requested a lot too and it's been in my watch later for a long time. So here we go Time gentlemen, please lots of time because this is the world of 17 governors 600 officers and 37 healthcare staff All working in one of Britain's largest jails I Tonight you're about to be banged up in Her Majesty's prison Birmingham also known as Winston green. Oh, Winston green. Okay I'm doing a series right now on my channel also. It's Benefits benefits series They always talk about this To be locked up with some of the most dangerous crimes in the country And Her Majesty has more inmates had a pleasure than ever before So this is how the staff of Winston green cope with being penned in for up to 14 hours a day with 14 inmates including joyriders murderers drug dealers and sex offenders That's a prison That's a crime It dramatic as it a Criminal by their very nature is never going to be the easiest person to deal with so the officers and nurses at Winston green Have their work cut out on a daily basis This is an institution where the most untrustworthy and unpredictable elements of society are put together I Know y'all can hear the video clearly, but it's like low for me. I don't know 70% of inmates have meant I Only got one ear on Little health or addiction problems and their well-being still come out despite being in prison So for the health care team and prison officers who look after the inmates and keep order. It's one hell of a tough gig It's a typical prison officer's stance But you can be hearing what's happening downstairs, but you're also watching around you as well. Yes fellas Julie Turton is the prison's suicide prevention officer stressing Julie's in her forties and brought up four kids before she joined the prison service nine years ago Her first 12 months on the job were a baptism of fire dealing with two hangings and nearly a hundred self-harm incidents Yeah, I've had me moments believe my I've had me moments there, but nobody sees that you gotta walk around and smile that Julie's always smiling Hello Birmingham hasn't seen a death in custody for 12 months, but if a prisoner really wants to commit suicide He'll always find a way So Julie's job is to try and second-guess the most fun Why are they trying to make this fun back with the background music? Really why Anything that you shouldn't have Sometimes you said you had hysteria took off you then. Yeah, Julie's known Patrick bills for the past four years a Schizophrenic self-hammer bills also has two young children. He's been in and out of jail since he was a kid So could you have a word? Because I know the last time I seen you was after you had all your trouble on being That was the one yeah, but he's feeling a bit cold that day. Were you Yeah He's a very difficult character if you catch him on a good day like today He's very talkative and he's very nice You catch him on a bad day And he's not so nice. Let's see that. Let's see the bad Oh, okay, it's been a while and I'm not a month. No, I did this one I did that one This is outside but it takes you when you when you get in that side to take you to wall to come back down and yeah Calm down again down it. It's just a vicious circle. I know I'm all right. I'll just have a cup of coffee. Thank you. Sure. Yeah One cigarette Well, what is going on right now? Is this prison? Offering cigarettes they offer a small seat you might as well lay down in this pad and open your legs there Julie or whatever you like I don't mind you having a cigarette It comes across as an innocent chat and to hear me just thinks that somebody's concerned and But I can tell a lot of things because I know what it's like He certainly looks clean and I mean I've seen him in some states where he isn't clean So he's obviously looking after these home I gene and everything which is all a good sign. I've got two kids out there. Yeah That's the thing you don't want to keep coming backwards and forwards to it. This is all strategy I want to get made sorties Yeah, I'm a boy too much you look good yourself. He had her hand for extra little minute I see you during a cell search the officers confiscated Mr. Bills has asked if I'd mentioned to you about his stereo that's been taken off the fact that he had two in his possession you mean No, exactly Seriously, no, exactly. Thank you. Give me trouble At 39 Percy Davidson's just got a promotion So so this is more like H&P burrowing her life inside as the staff Is that like maybe the just beginning part is Shout out to the lbgd community. I just want to say that after I've watched this right here. He's a senior nurse managing That's just my guess Prisoners but it doesn't look like the word stress appears in Percy's dictionary Even when he's rushed off his feet he's still laid right back. I think you only have about 20 minutes to do it So the last thing he needs is prisoners playing up Prisoner Stuart Humphries has an addiction To visiting the nurse to get his fix of Percy. He keeps pulling out the catheter He's had fitted for his prostate problem and nurse he isn't happy I'm free in Jesus name. I want it in front of the officer in front of the crew the next time I take it out Yeah, I'm not putting the team back It's a you take it out And I'm doing it again. What do you hear wrong with you? I'm going to do the journal My god, wait, wait, wait, wait Wait a minute Are they showing this No, you can't really see it Why Percy playing with that man tallywhacker like that put the put the catheter in there Put the catheter in a tallywhacker so he can go back to the to the to the to the to the landing Just ask if it hurts This is the fourth time Percy's had to fit Humphries with a new catheter Right Do not listen to me normally I talk any queen language now. Do not Yeah, right you're okay now Lovely the music is not making this any less Funnier Copy written out the ass Why they do her like this at the age of my muscle, you know what back in Tasha has been a prison nurse for three years a True, Brummie. She's married with three children. Glenys is one of Percy's closest friends Much rather be on a Caribbean island. Can you imagine? Can you imagine? But I'm here in HMP Birmingham. It's still alright. The sun's shining a prisoner's called for help on b-wing Which holds everyone from violent criminals to tax evaders. It's a real jamboree bag with no sweeties You never know what you're going to get Is a cell phone my purse L. He just caught his face You Cut his face Can we see it Frequent self-harm of but this is the first time Glenys or Percy have had to deal with him I Like Percy got like two three accents bald in the one Coming from me as an American. He has he has the Caribbean accent. He got the English accent he got he got and he got one other accident Maybe it's just to That admission probably means Percy and Glenys will have to patch Winnery up again before he's released Is this the original music on here or somebody else do this and Like listen to this soundtrack it makes me like want to go watch Beauty and the Beast or something 53-year-old Colin Underwood is one of the most senior officers in He's modest to earning a top whack of 30,000 a year one of his daily duties is to round up staff to line the labor route Every day prisoners leave their cells to go to the workshops earning up to 13 pounds a week that's 676 pounds a year so crime really doesn't pay J. Just go on instruct all Puppet stations to send on their prisoners for labor With 500 prisoners on the loose anything could happen from punch-ups or a full-blown riot or So something the other night I haven't seen for a very long time is a prisoner coming to custody Whether it was like the drunk product coming nose coming in to it taking some drugs or three He was scared he was vomiting all the way from reception to the CD link, and I am seeing that for a long time My father was possessed He was possessed Exorcism Was it Lucy? It's Colin's job to make sure the prisoners behave themselves en route to the workshops and The prisoners know if they want to mess with Colin they better be flash Gordon He's certainly not too exasperated When he started in the prison service 29 years ago, it was a different world Officers were hard nuts with a lock them up and shut them up approach Mick was the first person I ever met He was the gate officer when I came to take my Just open the door and ground Micky we watch the six foot four six foot four, and he was a big man, but he was a big man muscle then And in days you see where four uniform cap like the flat peat was down here, and I'm saying me later Thank you guys. I'll knock on the old gate He's Well, I think I want to be a prison officer Never seen a prison or prisoner prison opposite in my life. And that was the first one I met was Michael It's the next month I'm getting my passport. I know I said that a thousand times next month for real on the 21st of January I'm going to the post office and I'm filling out the paperwork and giving them the money to get my passport So that means I will be In the UK this summer 2022 Tlo himself Coming to meet the rest of you. I'm coming to meet the gang I don't know what I'm gonna do, but I think I'm gonna just go places and just the day before I go I'm just tell y'all where I'm going See who show up I'm out. I mean, I mean, I'm talking about I'm out like I'm about to end the video, but yeah, I'm out there is what I'm saying Barring him definitely come. I don't care what nobody said Liverpool coming London, of course coming An alarm's gone off on B wing Julie's regular Patrick Bills has shown the mr. Hyde He's supposed to be on heavy medication for his mental health problems But Bills has refused to take his meds for six days and today the dam has finally burst in a paranoid state He's barricaded himself inside his cell and set fire to it. What? I almost said how do you even set fire like what do you get to set fuck like that? You got to understand these prisoners are crafty. They be cooking whole fried burritos Fried and they make a grill out of their bed. They They boil what they got away to make fires in there. So let me that's them These are your guards look at it. Everybody else coming out of here just one little car It's important the officers restrain bills to make sure he doesn't harm himself or them Bills is taken to the segregation unit where problem prisoners are kept away from other While Glennis takes care of bills Julie's concerned that this incident will go against him on his record. She wants it Noted as a self-harm incident But the officer will get him out of the fire thinks differently You on me the endanger me Yeah, but it's an act of self-harm because he's in danger to himself the class of cell phone There was an act of self-harm a cell phone because he was in there Nobody to go on any would have been the only one armed. It's still an act of self-harm even though it's an act of damage Okay It's not the first time bills has got himself into a mess Julie's seen it all before I mean I've sat down I've had a cigarette. You need people like Julie though Like when you go out do stuff like this somebody to go to Pat for you somebody to be on your side when When you can't be on your own side like when there's nobody there to defend you like you need people like her She's just she's the difference maker in people's lives I had a cup of tea with him and he's chastity to why happy as Larry the next day And I could shake him You feel like slapping him, you know, I feel like he's one of my kids. Why have you done it? You know, I don't know how much I like these b-rolls and the dramatizations like not down there The b-rolls where they play the music and then they flick around and they make it look like all fun and gangs and shit It's not just prisoners who are vulnerable and need help the suicide rate amongst prison officers is way above the national average When the last who are vulnerable and need help the suicide rate amongst prison officers is way above the national average I don't know how I feel about that. I mean the numbers are there. That's obviously a fact but how much of it No offense, but why do I care? You know, I said you chose that job you you went to your computer You typed in prison officer application. You filled that motherfucker out. You went to three interviews You took a tour of the area and you chose to be you probably want the college a little bit for That's your choice Trinket and suicide Why? Absolutely devastated Absolutely. I feel guilty that even as close as we were I feel guilty. I think well I won't let this man down that he couldn't come and speak to me I don't get me wrong. If anybody's feeling like Any type of emotions who am I to tell you you don't have your reasonings, but like there's numbers. There's hotlines There's people you can always talk to They're just like for me. It's like you chose this job. So it's like, okay After losing I hear you and colleague Colleen knows how this job can send even the strongest officer to the edge and beyond Two years ago, you know, there's one thing you can do that a prisoner can do you can quit and never come back a prisoner can not Quit jail and just not come back At that given moment in time he joined the Winston Green care team which offers support to staffing crisis But that also boils down to mental too Prison officer Ian Allen has been assaulted by an aggressive prisoner and needs to talk about it an offload or the conflicting emotions We then decided to take you down and say and I'll tell you Amongst others Good why they don't quit it's like a sense of pride so a certain extent or you want to see if you're gonna prevail mentally through it Like you don't want to let anything Impede you From doing your job or like oh man, I quit because I got you don't want that in your mindset, but man Give it a go Then if a month later, you still scared are you still thinking about it? You got to go To be smart Doesn't do it doesn't matter what you do to try and help me at a time So just not interested it makes you look at yourself. I'm wondering what you've done wrong Or if there's any way you could have gone about the situation different I'm just gonna carry on Makes me wonder what where was he? Where is he from originally? In the segregation unit Glennis goes to check up on Patrick bills because that's just my attitude as a Chicago person Okay, bills is back on his medication, but it can only achieve so much and Glennis is in for a shock He's cut off again I'm here to nine o'clock the problems before you do anything rash Have a chat. It's good to talk Yeah, that's a fact man. Just a conversation sometimes Easy am I? Okay, what's my name? I'm a court Until you can be trusted not to harm himself or others bills will have to be kept in segregation They didn't clean them up Officers have to laugh when they can as they're never far from the next incident As suicide prevention officer Julie has to keep a close eye on her prisoners This is your first time in prison I dropped a video of two hours on 49 minutes. Oh As one thousand two hundred ninety one of you's It's pretty good for a channel myself Proud of y'all man Y'all make this shit worth it for real because you got to remember these lot of these documentaries I Do not get paid for I just sit here and watch it hours hours hours of them. I don't get a dime From from the ad revenue or the commercials should do not be going to me be going to the original person that uploaded it so Just y'all watching it in the like button means a lot to me Appreciate that Most deaths in custody happen at the start of a sentence when new prisoners are at their most vulnerable and confused So Julie set up an insider scheme where old inmates pass on survival tips to the new boys You get a breakfast pack in there see What give you she's always on the lookout for recruits and she thinks dex the tar That's what it takes six foot nine. What the hell tallest hill Tars an old hand at the prison game. He's on his second sentence He's an agriphobic who's kept himself to himself. Oh, who thinks he'd make a good insider Take a seat in my makeshift office Wait, so she was Okay Since you've been on here as a cleaner you've been doing a good job all the officers have said how well you were Harris is one of the insiders He's asked if he could move on he wants he wants to transfer on So obviously I've got a look for somebody to fill His shoes out to speak and I wonder whether you'd be interested in having the job. Yeah, I'll do it You've settled in and you've got yourself quite comfortable. You know, you know, it gives you something extra to do And you're helping the new people coming at the same time, aren't you? Yeah All right, then. Yeah Good show for you there. I'm thinking of me. Yeah, because it's hot to wear that sweatshirt There you go. All right All right All set with his nutty new uniform Tar gets thrown straight in with his first inmate Okay, so he's a prisoner that's already in obviously he's a prisoner that's already insider that's Anyway, so he talks to the new prisoners that are coming in and tries to get them as Ready as they can ever be Okay, I get it. Okay All right People that you don't know can't you can be depends on you know when you see that scared You find it easier Exactly that's why it's so good for you to do the role, you know On top of all his other daily duties Percy hands out medication to prisoners who are sick He's a walking pharmacy juggling pills for everything from epileptic fits to headaches Julie's fooled by Percy's laid-back attitude, but despite appearances he's rushed off his feet There's 19 nurses at Winston Green looking after 1400 inmates and as a senior nurse Percy has the unenviable task of making sure every shift is covered. So he juggles pills and people I can't wait for the new stuff to start coming out man like the brand new stuff like these docking I don't even know if they do this type stuff no more, but they should really get back on it because like Prison after COVID prison during COVID like that shit will be bangers Nothing but bangers and it needs to be like out there Hoping to ease the pressure Percy's employed a new nurse Darryl Sealy He's been here for six weeks and he's still trying to find his way around the maze of prison routines I'll be out there and if you think you're unhappy or you're not sure It has to give me a little shout out 1400 prisoners knows how many pills getting the right meds for the right inmates is like playing Sudoku in the dark Yeah, I've never played Sudoku in the light. So I don't even know what that is Sorry guys. What's your name? Daily I like to hear the deal new boy Darryl's a prime target for crafty inmates to confuse him in the hope of getting extra drugs Where are you having the spin? When you think if I give you some paracetamol that will help if you have the power statement because I'm getting a clue So what exactly do you want me to give you now paracetamol? So you want some paracetamol and what that will be for That would be for the pain For the pain and plus I'm getting a flu paracetamol helps the fluid on it Yes, but what basically if you if you're getting the flu you might want to see the doctor You take me back to months to that for to see the doctor every time I put in to see the doctor takes me a long long time The doctor don't just see you hurry you have to wait for months in there in the doctor fourteen hundred prisoners in there But to be of any use to Percy Darryl will have to make the grade I Collin prisons a family affair two years ago. He tempted his stepdaughter Subira into the service. She works in the records That's a stepdaughter Hey New I knew he liked the Dibble and Dabble in the black forest I think you mother's plan is that your pain is it I'll stay here then and if these get back a bit earlier You can get there We know you don't do too much in the gym and we can see that you You get changing your sweating buckets already That's because this body's a temple All right That's this Shit Mikey B if you're watching this I record on Twitch without being alive sometimes Because y'all deserve when I'm live my full attention, you know, I'm saying and right now Can't give my full attention because I'm listening for my daughter. I'm playing I'm watching this and I Lot of things are going on that y'all just don't see And at the end of the day y'all deserve to have my full attention You get on Sam like I do when I'm live on Twitch. I'm live. I'm interacting with y'all like Even when I'm done with the video. I'm still on here for hours and I don't have that Right now right now Soon I'm gonna be putting my daughter in daycare. So soon You was gonna be like It's not the world's greatest chat-up line fancy lunch in prison but Collin's wife Sharon a local nurse knows the score They've been together for eight years When we actually first met We met at the the towel ballroom. I thought he was a member of the national front Because he looks very no, you shouldn't stereotype but as a race we do stereotype people Yeah, he did do But he's not really You know remember that first time I came on wall he met me didn't he? See right there was a government here. You know what we're seeing Sharon We couldn't believe when he walked in he says, how can you Be going out with such a beautiful woman. He was absolutely gospel Oh Yeah, I think you are so do I think I am as well Yeah, you're lovely really When we first met and we first lived together if an incident had happened at work Collin would come in And sort of a stump of a place which I totally and utterly disagreed with I sat him down and I said If there is something wrong or you've had a bad day, let's talk about it and let's hear our problems Don't walk around Huffing and puffing because you'll you'll suffer with a level of pressure You're a prison officer at work And you're a husband and a father at home And that's what it should be But it's not always easy or that simple to take the one age Yeah You've got somebody you could speak to an offload. I'm too really I believe I've made a good decision And I believe you've made a good decision picked well I'll go with that one. Well, no twice a day a new bunch of inmates arrive fresh from court Okay Their life in the outside world is about to become just a memory They pass through reception where their details are recorded and their personal belongings including photographs are confiscated and searched The nurses are there to assess the prisoner's medical needs 85 percent of inmates have existing addiction problems and forced cold turkey is about to begin So piercing glen is have to decide the best way to get them through it So how are you today? I've got the derivatives The DTs your detox and alcohol? Yeah Can I ask how old are you? You want to use heroin? What? I said he was 28 The DTs? Yeah Can I ask how old are you? You want to use heroin? I gotta see a front view of him because from the side he looked 48 Not 40 maybe 38 Can you tell me how much alcohol? This is a very important question How much alcohol? This is gonna be this answer is gonna be So from when he wake up to when he go to sleep is that what that man just said? And that's the effects it has on you That man look double his age Holy Yikes Tell me how much alcohol do you drink? You're taking heroin 80 pounds per day and crack 20 milligrams Still using drugs? Do you drink plenty alcohol? Yeah, I do like my beer Every day you drink alcohol How many? 12 cans of tenant's soup 12 cans of tenant's soup Yeah, but Jonesy, 12 cans is plenty money, you know? I know it And then because it all so suffering But let's see But I don't mix alcohol with them Beer is no longer an option Paul Jones was in Winston Green five years ago And he's back pending a court appearance next week What's it in for? Sorry about that At the moment I'm on remand for a fray, carrying a weapon Getting an impact upon people's ices Why Jonesy? Tell me why you're doing that? Because I've been under too much drink and too much pleasure by my partner How are you feeling now? At the moment, I feel like punching something You feel like punching something? Something, I didn't say a person, I just feel like punching something Like a punch bag or something But it's attacked me and great Okay But it's man for a man Yeah, remember we are here to help you diffuse that anger You have to take care of yourself But this is one life All I've got to think of is one person I'm not thinking myself first You better start loving that young Jonesy What I think of is in that picture Okay So where's the person in the picture? In that picture, she's 19 months old, it's my youngest kid Okay Well then you have a reason to live Yeah, I have got a reason So therefore That reason I am Exactly, so therefore Stop taking my medication, cool down on my alcohol Thank you Any human will get fed up, you know, seeing somebody coming over and over again But you must give them back the surface You never give up Because sometimes it's parents that give up on them Peer group have given up on them That's why they like this So they are coming now for help You have to say, yes, I will take you up again Forgive and continue the journey again All prisoners are allowed to keep some of their possessions In his 30s with four kids, Jones gets his photos back It makes sense, that's nice enough So it's like so, yeah? Yeah, it's going okay And I promise something's not right So that's the only one I really want Okay, no problem All right, it's okay Thank you Gives you hope, man Gives you a reason to live in there, man The kids should have stayed out of there You couldn't help it, but You couldn't help it, but The worst part for me is my daughter Because she's only 19 months in If I'm locked up for her birthday I don't know what I'll do I don't want to be here But the other day I did the time I did the crime, you do the time That's the way I say I don't, if I'm here, I do my time Get me head down, keep myself to myself If I get a job, I get a job in here I don't just lie on my bed I just, just lie there until my sentence is over And I have me dead in my bed first And all that same time as everybody else Like all staff, there's never time to rest for Glenys Along with running to alarm bells And treating prisoners, coughs and colds She's also in charge of the hepatitis clinic Weather's changed Less than three minutes left, what are we? The staff have to sort out their own vaccinations But the prisoners get their jabs for free Patient about hepatitis B, yeah? I need you to consent So that means you give me permission to do this Wayne Immersa is new to prison life He might be a hard man outside But in here, a little prick is too much to bear If you have a problem with it, look away Because the worst thing that could happen is that you faint Because then I'll have to label you that you've got a yellow streak running down the back What's that mean? Come on now If you faint, Tommy, what's that mean? That's good Right, not good for your rep in here, is it?
