It's not exactly rare for a con to let fly a volley of abuse against a screw, particularly down here in the block.
One such staff victim was loudly pondering the line thrown at him earlier that day, an invitation that he should "go suck your momma".
In attempting to deconstruct the precise meaning of this abuse, he pointed out that he'd have to travel some 200 miles in order to "suck his momma".
I raised an eyebrow. "So the travelling distance is the only problem you see with that idea?!"

About Me
- prisonerben
- United Kingdom
- Previously known as "one of Britain's best known prisoners...he constantly questions authority and exposes the futility of the system" The Times, Ben was finally released from prison after 32 years in August 2012. Pleading guilty to the murder of a friend when I was 14 years old, I renounced violence and fought for the recognition of the inherent dignity of all human beings. As a result of speaking truth to power, I served far longer than the recommended 10 years, leading Education Secretary Michael Gove to argue that I have "been punished excessively for a crime committed as a child". One of the more intellectual of prisoner-campaigners, Ben chose to educate himself from a schoolboy level to having both undergraduate and post graduate degrees. He is currently one of very few prisoners in Britain ever to attempt a Doctorate. Ben's speciality is non-violent action and the Human Needs Theory. Now on Life Licence, I am forging a career as a CJ policy consultant, writer and - as ever - campaigner.
