So many false rumours have been circulating regarding where I first came into contact with Jeremy in prison. The truth of the matter is that this occurred in March 1989, and lasted until the end of July 1990. We were both inmates at HMP Full Sutton, on B Wing. At that stage there were only four wings at Full Sutton, A, B, C and D. Each wing had 100 individual cells, but due to the fact that Full Sutton was a newly built facility, there were originally only two hand fulls of prisoners incarcerated on each of these four wings. This was because the authorities needed a skeleton inmate presence to help get the facility up and running. In the early days most of us were assigned cleaning duties, on the wing, and education centre, or we worked in the kitchens preparing the meals, and some other inmates worked behind the server dishing the food out. A couple of years later, two more wings were added to the original four of A, B, C, D, which became known as E and F wing. One or other or both of these new wings I think became known as protection wings where vulnerable prisoners were kept out of harm's way. I was never incarcerated in either of these latter wings. I served time twice at HMP Full Sutton, the first occasion I was on B Wing, and the second time on D wing. Any rumours that I had been kept on a sex offenders wing is plainly false. Jeremy Bamber was not the only Category A prisoner on B Wing when I was in custody with him, almost everybody incarcerated there were also Category A prisoner, but others like myself were Category B prisoners. In the main, most prisoners in there at that time on our wing, and the other three wings, were lifers, or people serving lengthy terms of imprisonment 15 years and upwards. A few inmates like myself and a handful of others were currently serving sentences 8 years, 10 years, and 12 years. We had been sent to Full Sutton because we were considered to be incorrigible Career Criminals, with no prospect of rehabilitation. Some people have suggested that somebody like me could never have been in the same prison as someone like Jeremy, let alone be on the same wing as him. But I was, and others like me, were. After the first six months or so, the wing population started to increase with incoming fresh recruits toward it's full capacity, and workshops, and the new education facilities opened, which paved the way for me to come into contact with Jeremy and other high profile prisoners of the IRA and UDA who were housed on the other three wings (A, C, and D). Jeremy, and some of the convicted terrorists enrolled on a business Studies Course, whilst I studied Economics, Sociology, philosophy and English Literature, English Speaking, and Cookery classes.
