Not sure if this will be allowed, or if anyone would admit to it, but I will admit that I have.
Ever been in prison?

Went to Alcatraz once, does that count? Murder escaping, you have to wait for the boat.
...that's a shout. Played at Kirkham Open prison, a lad was painting the changing room. When I said I hadn't seen a prisoner he said he was one. Also played at Ashworth where Ian Brady was housed. Some security in that place.
Only to visit mates.
I took a referees course when I was 16 and reffed a game in Blantyre House (Goudhurst, Kent) whilst I was in there (1991, aged 40). I spent more time arguing with players than watching the game!
I went to visit a 'mate' before I went in (Bedford, Brixton, Wandsworth, Maidstone, Blantyre House, Latchmere House consecutively as I worked my way through the sentence - never been inside before or since). Turns out it was him who told the police after I drunkenly told him what I'd done. Wasn't sure he believed me until I had the knock on the front and back doors. He bought himself a new car with the reward money!
It's the two previous years that are described in the biographical novel I mentioned in another thread. It reads just like a film script and I wouldn't be surprised if a film was adapted from it.
It was only £5000 but it was in the late 80s. It wasn't a new, new car mind

YES.
Actually that's boolocks. My great grandad on the other hand... well, apparently he was the scouse version of Cilian Murphy from peaky blinders. He did a number of 4-6 week stretches for various assaults - possibly the occasional illegal gambling racket - but never proper bird and as a merchant trader (who gambled it all away) he had quite a few of them in his pocket.
Back in the day he was once the talk of a few ale houses after sparking the chief constable of Liverpool, he still got arrested though and once back in the nick, the chief's minions went a bit "midnight express" on him. Next day his missus bailed him, and the white shirt he was wearing had magically turned completely crimson...

Yes a number of times.
To work, not to stay as a guest. The old ones are great from an architecture point of view.

I went to Brixton prison when I was 9.
My nan used to volunteer there, making tea and suchlike. not sure they'd let a nine year old into a prison these days, stupid Health & Safety.
