LAG SERVES HIS RHYME

-

A LAG has taunted jail bosses by bragging about how easy it is to get drugs behind bars.

The prisoner at HMP Glenochil, Scotland, who called himself Ratchet, published a poem in the prisoner’s magazine Inside Time.

He boasted how he would “sell his granny” for some Spice and was “constantly smashed”.

He wrote: “Family and friends don’t find it funny, when I’m behind bars and still spending their money.

“My folks are tired and worried sick, I’m constantly smashed and in severe tick.

“I feel guilty for putting them through this, but when the stuff hits you, it doesn’t miss!

“Time to get in a drooling mess, you wouldn’t expect anything less.”

In 2013 lags at the jail complained after prison bosses banned books in a bid to stop drugs and weapons smuggling.

Prisoners now have to order copies from a supplier approved by jail governors so they can be checked before they get them.
