I guess smuggling alcohol, drugs and PORN into prison needs to be discouraged. Still, she'd probably have got less if she'd just killed him.

[andy-hughes]

No.

The reasoning behind imprisonment is the notion of deterrent to others, and that is why the sentence is as high as it is.

[Mamyalynne]

Not excessive, about right.

[Lie-in King]

No, not excessive.

[CrapAtCryptics]

Theres the abuse of public office as well

[Quangoid]

It's just a miracle that the criminal wasn't a jihadist and wanted her to bring in guns and bombs or give him the keys so they could break out.

Well at least the folk who live around that prison can breathe and sleep more easier now.

[Quangoid]

Hideous. The poor guy must be turning over in his grave.

[Quangoid]

This isn't the terry wogan statue thread!

She is going to have a terrible time in jail! If there is one category of prisoner the screws hate more than a child murderer it is a 'Warder turned bad' She can expect to find bits of razor blades hidden in her food and even get 'napalmed' ! That is being scalded by haveing a boiling mixture of sugar and water tipped over her. The sugar increases the boiling point of the water and makes it stick to the skin so that it is hard to wash off, it causes 3rd degree burns that take a long time to heal.

[Quangoid]

Really eddie? I would have thought that a warder turning bad would then be a hero?

Sounds horrible, which south american hell hole jail is that? Have you served hard time yourself? So it's not the plush hiltonesqueeden the media wants us to believe?

[EDDIE51]

Quangoid, as many on here know I have worked inside a prison on the education area. I have spoken to many 'lifers' in for murder including those who have been in the 'hardest' nicks in the UK.
'Nalit' a well known AB member has served time in UK jails, we have had similar experiences but from 'opposite sides'.

[EDDIE51]

^ as far as an inmate is concerned an ex screw who has become a prisoner can not be trusted either as a fellow inmate or as a screw.
They get the worst of both worlds!

[Quangoid]

"an ex screw who has become a prisoner can not be trusted"

Yes i see the logic in that now.

[anneasquith]

No. She won't actually " do " 5 years anyway .

[EDDIE51]

jno, if she had killed him she would have got the only possible sentence for murder which is 'Life'.

[EDDIE51]

^ as regards her time in jail,as all 'lifers' are entitled to a single cell , she would be safer. But she would not be out in under 15 years and then it would only be 'out on licence' not actually free.

[Quangoid]

"Alam had requested Anita to bring him pornography on memory sticks which 'goes like hot cakes' - as lags were offering to pay £1,500 for three devices."

What devices do they have to use these memory sticks on and do they really that much for porn?

[EDDIE51]

There are computers in jails in the education department for example.
They are not connected to the internet. But a memory stick full of 'porn' could still be viewed without an internet connection.
No actual cash is used inside a jail so payment would be a deposit into a bank account that the prisoner could use after he/she was released.

[Quangoid]

I'd have thought that they would have purchased the porn to be alone with it and not a room filled with rowdy noisy prisoners but i suppose beggars can't be choosers.

I had to laugh at this comment:

"Let's face it, this women has a face like a grave robber's dog and would no doubt be flattered by attention from anyone."
