“Dobbie.
If something you think is stupid needs translating to make sense to you, what does that actually make you?
Like I hinted at yesterday, and today, It's no wonder he decided to hand himself in with unpleasant and vile people like you about. It must of been quite a shock to him. For example he might of made a prison joke and some miserable peasant started crying and calling him stupid or something who knows eh? Perhaps he thought, "My god are people that sensitive thesedays, I prefer being in prison, away from the black dye in the hair and the black eye-liner and finger-nail polish, and the self-absorbed whiney music.
You can't even be civilized on the damn internet for heaven's sake *lol*
You actually went out of your way to be offended.
I would be amazed. If I didn't see the fact that you're in Derby yourself.”

“If anyone has seen the news series running last week you will appreciate how hard it can be for some of the inmates. One guy last week said he escaped from an open prison because he could not cope with it and was hoping to be sent back to a higher security jail.
On the other hand some of the prisoners in open prisons do some excellent charity work on the run up to their release - this is also a way of integrating them back into society.”
