Vid reveals desperate prison battle for drugs
TWO semi-naked prisoners wrapped in shower curtains and armed with bin lids and toilet brushes fight for drugs in the latest example of the crazed antics in our jails.
The video filmed on a smuggled mobile shows the cons hitting each other as fellow inmates jeer.
One says: “Let’s see a good clean fight boys, come on” as his pal giggles.
The pair then wrestle on the floor in the showers in Wandsworth jail, south-west London. One of the grinning cons is heard saying: “There’s a fifty shot on the go here, you know” – clearly referring to the drugs prize on offer for the winner.
It’s the latest shocking video showing desperate lags making a show of themselves for a fix.
We have previously revealed a chubby lag taking off his shirt and dancing to Greased Lightning with his mate for a hit of danger drug spice – synthetic cannabis.
A source at the jail said: “People are making these desperate and JOHN WARD pathetic videos for their own amusement as lags will do anything for a hit. There’s so much spice in our jails cons are giving it away – but making them do stupid things for it first. “Sometimes they just film them making d***heads of themselves, laugh their heads off and walk away without giving them the gear. It’s just a form of bullying.
“This one is in the prison showers yet you can’t see a guard in sight.
“The prison is so short-staffed this is going on and the lads doing it are getting away with it.” Synthetic cannabis is having a “devastating” effect in UK jails leading to deaths, self-harm and serious illness, the Chief Inspector of Prisons Peter Clarke has said.
Jails are “awash” with the substance, according to the Prison Officers Association, with reports of stashes of the drug being dropped by drone or thrown over perimeter walls.
