No Honey; I watched other inmates and officers all the time I was in there and basically ran the three prisons I was in (as staff and prisoners will confirm). If I spotted a hint of bullying or unfairness I took action.
honey!oh sugar sugar.

Is it possible that you had better treatment than most, because you were well known for being outspoken and they were unlikely to get away with it?

At least 75% of prison officers are useless bully boys, they are in it for the easy life of 37hrs a week, for every hour overtime you get paid and days off in lou. kitchen screws in wandsworth have sometimes 30 odd days off in a row because of staff shortages, 99% of the kitchen officers are very good.
I can see why phones need to be banned for some, but a lot of the treatment prisoners are given is unnecessarily cruel in my opinion.
I suppose the job attracts bullies as well as the caring type. (like teaching)
