My older brother is banged up in HMP Whitemoor and is not doing too well.
We live in east London and where he is is a couple of hours away. We keep asking for him to be moved to a London nick, but they say he is not eliglble for a move.
Even though he was gone for most of my teenage years I miss him even now. When my dad died my mum leaned on him and he was like the head of the family but he was always a bad lad and we live in a part of town where itis easy to get in trouble. So he went away, first to YOI then to adult nick over the years in and out. This stretch is along one and we dont think he is coming out for at least 5. He got 12 and that was 2005. He isn't violent but is not an easy bloke to get one over on, so if his back is up against the wall he does have a go. Which aint good for getting his time down and that.
I just miss him and I have a little boy of my onw that he has never seen. Hope to pop up before Xmas for a family visit.
thanks for listenng.
