Who Knew 'Prisoner: Cell Block H' Was A Documentary?

A senior prison officer demanded that a frightened inmate perform a sex act with him, telling her "it's an order'', a court has heard.
Her..?

Indeed. Because this was a women's prison.
The victim, who cannot be named for legal reasons, conducted a three-year relationship with acting governor Russell Thorne — at one point fearing she had fallen pregnant, jurors were told.

During this time, the officer allegedly became sexually involved with three more inmates at Downview Women's Prison, it was claimed, later apologising to the woman by buying her a ring and getting down on one knee, the court was told.
Clearly, an old-fashioned kind of chap...

Not, however, much of a genius:
...when they had sexual intercourse, contraception was not used, and she was left "paranoid'' she might end up pregnant, jurors were told.

Thorne provided her with laxatives in a bid to prevent this, she said.
*boggle*

Wondering if you were giving birth every time you took a dump must have been so harrowing for the poor dear. But that's modern, socially engineered education for you...

Not sure it's a great idea having male guards in female prisons.

You can't blame a girl - who wouldn't you indulge in return for a thirty quid watch or a ring from the Argos catalogue?

Surely, if he gave her laxatives to prevent pregnancy, he was banging away at the wrong hole, as it were.

I didn't comment on Yazzer AP - I just wish she'd crawl away and die. This prison seems a suitable repository, though I won't be volunteering as a guard.

Adults who are as dumb as the kids we played with at 6 are very difficult generally. Prison for people this dumb can't be right. It sounds as if letting them out on their would be cruel - they'd die before getting to the nearest bus stop.

Presumably, he didn't tell her what they were. At least, I hope that's the explanation!

"Not sure it's a great idea having male guards in female prisons."

Or female guards in male ones...

"...who wouldn't you indulge in return for a thirty quid watch or a ring from the Argos catalogue?"

Well, quite!

SNORKL!

"Prison for people this dumb can't be right. "

What else can we do with them, though?
