Hi, Ive just got out after 9 months. I was used by a biker courier firm I was working for to ferry around fake money from nightclubs to middle men and was seized by cops on the road.
Jailed for handling forged banknotes etc. People who hired me have since vanished - basically I took the fall but Im not gonna let it eat me. It was a hard sentence and because Im half canadian they sent me to any jail which had places - I did Lincoln, Leeds and reading.
Im no saint but theres nothing worse than been set up and taking the fall.
Hi Bikerboy,
I'm sorry you had such a hard time and was moved around a lot.
has it been easy to adapt to life outside or do you feel as though
life has moved on with out you.
A lot of our partners are inside and we would love to know how it might change them. _________________ We all deserve a second chance
its all about having something or someone to come out for - Im a bit of a drifter so Im trying to get myself sorted out. Some great mates have put me up for now which is great. I read some crap in the papers that jail is a holiday camp or something - crap - its bad and always will be.
I think the cops and the laws swoop on certain people if you maybe dont fit in or are an easy target. I knew as soon as I was arrested I was going down. I suppose I was an easy target (scruffy biker, tatts, piercings etc) - let's do him! you know
That must have been horrible for you cos your innocent.
Police take the pi** sometimes. They should never judge you by your cover.
Why did you take the fall if these people aint your friends?
Did you get out on tag or 18 day early release or something like that?
Jail is a holiday camp? yeah right! The media will say anything to sell a few papers.
I'd like to see them locked up for a week, and see if they see it as a holiday.
Its a good thing you have friends to help you out and offer a bit of support.
Did they not offer to help you find accommodation and work for when you are released?
An old friend of mine got a bail hostel but he had restrictions.
Its horrible when people stereotype. We are all different and thats a good thing.
I hope you sort things out and get to move on with your life _________________ We all deserve a second chance
Yeah, Im getting it back together but going inside cost me my girlfriend and has made it hard to get work. Im big into motorbikes and getting work as a courier or working in a bike garage or something similar is hard. Im not the suit wearing type and Im good with bikes so Ill keep trying. Got some interviews coming up.
Any girls wanting to meet a bike mad ex con drop me a line ha ha. Its not the best chat up line I know!!
Good luck on the interviews. If you only did nine months, why didn't your girlfriend wait? Oh well maybe that chat line will work!!! _________________ We all deserve a second chance
