My name is Chris Tesh, born in margate Kent and spent most of my life in nick
I done a place called latch mere house, send dc, hollensey bay borstal, wormwood scrubs twice on allocation and then last bit not least dover borstal, there was a bit of Canterbury nick there somewhere
Anywho, left England in 1979 for USA and been a good boy since, just a bit smarter and less stupid if you know what I mean
Pretty much in those places from 14 to 19 years old with a year or so break before leaving

Chris Tesh

Hope to hear back from some lads who were there
