I was on Malone house 'red' in 1989. it was a good place compared to what else was offer. As long as you hadn't absconded before you went lowdham from Lincoln prison. I was 19 and worked part time in the scullery serving food and the rest education, there was a farm, coalhouse and lots of cleaning jobs although everyone cleaned the house Saturday a.m. There were dorms where a lot of bullying happened people being bullied into running away, bed tipping and general bullying, a lot. I was there 9 months all summer which 89 was hot, there was a outdoor swimming pool at 6p.m some nights about half way down the drive. To be honest it wasn't that bad, it was a Y.O.I when I went not a borstal. hope this helps.
