I had a holiday here many moons ago. Around 25 years ago to be exact as a young 14 year old boy. I got a 6 month detention centre sentence. It was an eye opener for sure. I remember my 1st night being a little apprehensive about what to expect and a lovely female prison officer called Dot told me she had left some chocolate under my pillow. It was white chocolate too, my fav. I would love to tell you all it helped me change my ways but it didn't fully. However, after another short holiday at a YOI I finally learnt my lesson and am now married with 4 children and haven't been arrested since the age of 19. I turned my life around There was a boy trying to hang himself above me on a different wing on a regular basis and some nutters around but it was safe place all in all and the prison officers were mostly kind and seemed to care about us youngsters. I have fond memories on my day release out just as my sentence was coming to an end and was took to Dover castle. Looking back Medway was a learning experience and in the long run it did help me change my ways
