Stories from the Clink with retired police officer Neil Sadler

THURSDAY 30th OCTOBER 2025

STARTS AT MIDDAY, LUNCH AT 1PM

• Which country has a quarter of all the world’s prisoners locked up?

• Why did the prisoner lock his own cell door on the jail landing in front of Neil?

• The real three man escape from Alcatraz.

• Did George Best ever play for the prison football team?

• “Porridge”; many people’s favourite classic TV sit com.

All this and more from a former police officer who visited many UK prisons and met many colourful characters. Their stories might well surprise you.

Approached with his customary humour, let Neil guide you in (and luckily, out) of a few well-known prisons.
