Transcript from ’22 Armed Robberies’ podcast

Lennox – People used to talk about the Dartmoor stare. There was so much knife crime and people made sure their backs were to the wall. People were scared to expose their back because someone would come up to them and stab them. People sometimes had magazines around their waist and you know they took precautions. It was a horrible experience to to be in Dartmoor. It was cold and you didn’t have a lot. They weren’t the facilities there that you would see at some other prisons.
