Prison visiting

Yesterday, for the second time in my life I was in prison.....as a visitor.I knew the procedure. The prisoner has to send you an official visiting invitation. You have to book a visit. You need ID and may take nothing, absolutely nothing in except up to £20 for snacks.

A couple of observations. Political correctness rules. In the waiting area there are posters about how to report racist incidents and a booklet with IIRC instructions in 12 languages. A racist incident is one which someone perceives as racist. Victim culture rules!

One is searched on entry but the search was not as thorough as when I travelled through Stanstead Airport.
