A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.

Imates drunk on hand gel start brawl at Portland's Verne prison

PRISONERS sparked a drunken fight after getting high on alcoholic hand gel meant to combat swine flu.

Inmates at Portland’s Verne Prison have been drinking the gel, say officers.

The allegation follows reports that inmates at the island jail have been taking part in bouts of bare-knuckle boxing for cash.

A source at the prison said the gels were similar to those removed from the entrances Dorset County Hospital in Dorchester.

It was claimed that vagrants had been drinking from the dispensers placed at the hospital’s entrances.

Hat-Tip to Charles Cowling for alerting me to this story.

About Me - jailhouselawyer

jailhouselawyer: Hull, East Yorkshire, United Kingdom; John Hirst Hull, East Yorkshire, GB "Who is John Hirst?" the Sun online questioned the day after the UK lost its appeal to the Grand Chamber of the ECtHR in the prisoners votes case. The profile was not very informative nor flattering. But, I don't like the Sun either so we are quits. I was born, at 2 I was put into Dr Barnardo's Homes. What they called care, we refer to it as physical and sexual abuse. I drifted into crime, and spent 35 years in prison. In spite of the system, I reformed and rehabilitated myself with the support of some within and outside of the system. I was transformed from a law breaker into a law-maker. I am firmly committed to prisoners rights, and am a campaigner for penal reform. I live in a 3 bedroom terrace house within a cul-de-sac, and have a dog as a companion. My Latvian friend keeps invading my space and telling me I need a wife. She does keep the house clean and tidy, but loves my dog and calls him her boyfriend... Recently, Viking FM have asked for advice and reports for the news on radio on Criminal Justice issues. In addition, I used to write regularly for Inside Time the National newspaper for prisoners.
