There were at least eight or nine of us taken for a chest xray so it wasnt just me who had this done could it haave been someone had a serious chest infection and the xray was a precaution in case anyone had picked up that infection as at that time i did not smoke (i started after i came out and am still a smoker) also can you explain why pressing the bell push in your cell is an offence(ref:in the film scum Davis doing this and being threatened with the block if he does it again)I was also told this when in dc thanks for the answer re transfer to borstal from dc if i had done full three months screw was obviously on a wind up what would have happened if i had done the full 3 months dc would release automatically follow?
