Pure jealousy, I say..

Erm ... quite a few , from petty criminals to a lifer.

Me? I've no criminal record at all, apart from 1 speeding ticket over 10 years ago.

I've got a Police record.

I've taught four murderers, countless petty thieves and fraudsters and a fair few folk that have become persistent offenders.

A colleague was a magistrate and he regularly had to withdraw from cases because he knew the accused in his capacity as their teacher/ex-teacher.

I knew somebody who had two friends who murdered a young man. They both got life for it and he used to go and visit them in prison. His wife used to get really angry about it.

"Why are you going to visit those vicious thugs!"

"They are my friends."

"They murdered someone in cold blood just because they didn't like him!"

"Yeah, that was pretty bad of them. But ... they are my friends!"

Two. One is a retired banker, and the other was a doctor who blankly refuses to hand over his criminal gains and will probably spend another few years in jail as a result. He has been there for quite a few already. Idiot.

Oh, I quite forgot Pete the Poof, from Bermondsey, who I met after he came out (in more ways than one) after a stretch for robbery with violence. " Ten-shot Beretta pump , Martin.....you can go anywhere with that..." The Eighties were a bit different.

Hmm, depends on how much I guess. I've seen quite a few cases where, for example, criminal A refuses to disclose location of ill gotten cash totalling 120,000, and gets an extra 2 years for it.

I'd do two years for 60 grand each...

Women often claim to have the high ground on emotional articulacy but they sometimes don't understand male loyalty.

60k per year would not be nearly enough to compensate for what they might do to you as a serving Copper who ends up in jail, as you will know. Two years without a shower, just for starters? . Even after 12 years out of "the job" I would really prefer not to have to share a cell with some 16 stone amorous bank robber who has had nothing to do but lifting weights for the previous 3 years.

I have known a few Cops who fell foul of the law during their service and ended up doing time for one reason or another. Having spoken to some of them after their release, I would not wish to go through what they experienced.

In "criminal A's" circumstances it was probably the right thing to do though. £60k per year for staying in a secure Travelodge isn't so bad. It's true what they say, prison is only a deterrent for honest people!
