Clinton MaynardHOST
Maybe that's a solution for us.
Clinton MaynardHOST
Maybe the Minister for Roads in New South Wales could knock on the door of Long Bay Jail and find some labour there.
Clinton MaynardHOST
Coming up next, Lucy Zelich in studio for Straight Shoes.
Clinton MaynardHOST
It's 19 to 5.
Sid PuntsHOST
accept that.
Sid PuntsHOST
Well, I'm glad that you say, you speak so highly of the VATP because when I was a prison officer in the early 2000s they were talking about how they were going to run all these programs for different offenders at Long Bay.
Sid PuntsHOST
You'd get moved from your jail to go to Long Bay to do programs like this.
Sid PuntsHOST
And I'd say within three, four years, they started chipping away at them and getting rid of them.
Sid PuntsHOST
And to hear someone like you say, speak openly
Sid PuntsHOST
Yeah.
Sid PuntsHOST
Which ones have you been housed in and what are the differences between them for my listeners?
John KillickGUEST
Well, you've got to look, when I went there when I was 17, Long Bay, you know, I described that as just, it was terrible.
Mark LevyHOST
We've also had the NRMA come out with a statement saying they're urging motorists to seek out the best price for fuel as the wholesale price for regular unleaded nears $2 per litre mark again.
Mark LevyHOST
So fuel is going up again and I'm sure that's being discussed at this bush summit that we've been covering throughout the morning and look I've had quite a number of calls to the open line this morning and we've been told there's been quite a heavy police presence around Long Bay Jail over the last half hour or so we've been doing some digging behind the scenes and I've asked Will to lean on a few of his contacts for us as well Will Bottom he's here in the studio with me with some more details Will good morning
Will BottomCORRESPONDENT
Morning, Levy.

An hour ago, police received reports of a vehicle stolen in the Chifley area on Little Bay Road.
Nick CodyHOST
Yeah.
Luke HeggieHOST
Shelley, the daughter, visited him in Long Bay Prison and said, "Why'd you do it?" He shrugged and said, "I don't know myself." So-
Nick CodyHOST
[laughs]
Luke HeggieHOST
... bit of closure for him.
Luke HeggieHOST
She doesn't want him again after that, and fair enough.
Nick CodyHOST
Oh.
Luke HeggieHOST
Um, within Long Bay Prison, John was sharing a cell in the aged and frail inmate section with Frank Townsend.
Luke HeggieHOST
And, uh, Frank didn't turn the TV off one night, so John bludgeoned him with the sandwich press.

He had some misfirings happening.
SharnellHOST
Now, eventually Ivan was diagnosed with esophageal cancer and he was transferred to the medical ward at Long Bay Correctional Center to undergo chemotherapy.
SharnellHOST
On October 27th, 2019, the disease claimed his life and he died.
SharnellHOST
He was 74.
John KillickGUEST
And by January 1960, I was 17, I was in jail at Long Bay.
John KillickGUEST
And believe me, Long Bay Jail was very tough in those days.
John KillickGUEST
And for a 17-year-old to land there, shouldn't have been in jail at 17, but I was.
John KillickGUEST
And very lucky to come through it, actually.
