2 hours agoThe armed robber who went straight: John McAvoy was born into the criminal life. Here's how he escaped it
There's an airlock where door locks were operated remotely to prevent hostage taking. The spur on the HSU is small, with around eight cells, low ceilings and fluorescent lights.

There was an exercise yard, but the sky was blocked out by security wire.
