0:00:06 > 0:00:08Hello, mate. Yeah, it's Rich. Two Bs and a Y. Yeah, where are you?

0:00:08 > 0:00:11All right, mate, I'll be there in about ten minutes.

0:00:11 > 0:00:13I'll ring you when I'm there. All right, nice one, mate. Bye.

0:00:18 > 0:00:20Right, we need to find the can.

0:00:24 > 0:00:25Oh, Rich?

0:00:27 > 0:00:29It's quite open, here, innit?

0:00:29 > 0:00:31Why don't you just do it up on that hill?

0:00:31 > 0:00:34River side, I'll have to go in the river side bushes...

0:00:34 > 0:00:36No, it's not, I'm not going all that way, I'm doing it here.

0:00:36 > 0:00:38- No, you can't.- Yeah, we are.

0:00:38 > 0:00:42People won't care. It's going to take us two minutes, Rich.

0:00:42 > 0:00:44Stupid, you are.

0:00:44 > 0:00:45Look, in this way...

0:00:46 > 0:00:49Come on! You're the one who wanted to go here.

0:00:51 > 0:00:53Rich? Can you get them...?

0:00:53 > 0:00:55- Just, come.- I can't!

0:00:55 > 0:00:57Oh, my God, you're pathetic.

0:00:57 > 0:00:59Come on.

0:01:00 > 0:01:02Did pick the most awkward place.

0:01:02 > 0:01:05- There's prickly things.- D'you know what I mean? I told you it was

0:01:05 > 0:01:07- stupid, you've got water?- Yeah.

0:01:07 > 0:01:10- How's it stupid...? - Just get everything out.

0:01:10 > 0:01:13When you do crack, you always do this.

0:01:13 > 0:01:16I'm impatient, and that, do you know what I mean?

0:01:16 > 0:01:18- I'm not...- You are, babe, you are impatient,

0:01:18 > 0:01:20I'm not gonna lie, so what?

0:01:20 > 0:01:22No-one's perfect, darling.

0:01:33 > 0:01:34That's a bad habit.

0:01:36 > 0:01:37It's an expensive habit.

0:01:39 > 0:01:41I spend like £200-£300 a day, easily.

0:01:43 > 0:01:44I'm living on the streets,

0:01:44 > 0:01:47pretty much every bit of money I get goes on gear.

0:01:58 > 0:02:02I know it's wrong, and I know it's bad, but I do enjoy it.

0:02:02 > 0:02:04A lot of things need to change

0:02:04 > 0:02:06in the way that we treat drugs in this city, in this country.

0:02:11 > 0:02:14I've got soldiers, I've got lawyers, I've got doctors,

0:02:14 > 0:02:16I've got a huge amount of young professionals.

0:02:16 > 0:02:18- Police!- No, no!

0:02:18 > 0:02:19Open your mouth.

0:02:19 > 0:02:22Don't swallow the drugs. Spit them out.

0:02:39 > 0:02:42I want to just get out of this so we don't get caught in here.

0:02:42 > 0:02:44I just want to get ready.

0:02:44 > 0:02:45All right, all right, all right.

0:03:03 > 0:03:05SIRENS BLARE

0:03:09 > 0:03:13Put it in the next slot up, my love, like there, where you are now.

0:03:13 > 0:03:16And then put the money in the top right, the coins, or notes, yeah,

0:03:16 > 0:03:18or cards in there, my darling.

0:03:18 > 0:03:19Thank you.

0:03:27 > 0:03:29Oh, thank you, very much, sir, thank you.

0:03:30 > 0:03:33Someone might say, what did you do last Friday? I could tell you what I

0:03:33 > 0:03:36did last Friday because I did the same as I did today.

0:03:36 > 0:03:38Every day is the same so, basically,

0:03:38 > 0:03:42go begging or sometimes shoplifting, or whatever,

0:03:42 > 0:03:43to go and get some money.

0:03:47 > 0:03:50Sometimes you have to put them through a few times.

0:03:50 > 0:03:51Oh, right. Thanks.

0:03:51 > 0:03:53By about half 11 or whatever,

0:03:53 > 0:03:56we've usually got enough money to go and score.

0:03:59 > 0:04:02Get back about half 12.

0:04:02 > 0:04:04'Doors closing.'

0:04:04 > 0:04:08And all day for the rest of the day, then, is literally making money,

0:04:08 > 0:04:09going to score.

0:04:10 > 0:04:11Doing the drugs.

0:04:13 > 0:04:15Making money, going to score, do the drugs.

0:04:30 > 0:04:33In Bristol, we've got this team, called, like, Streetwise, and,

0:04:33 > 0:04:36basically it's the council and the police working together to combat

0:04:36 > 0:04:39begging and rough sleeping in Bristol.

0:04:40 > 0:04:43They've put a ASBO injunction thing, on me, so, basically, saying,

0:04:43 > 0:04:47I'm not allowed to beg in Bristol, I'm not allowed in certain areas.

0:04:47 > 0:04:48But, I still go there anyway.

0:04:50 > 0:04:56He told us he was on nearly... nearly a grand a week he'd...

0:04:56 > 0:04:58That's what he told us!

0:04:58 > 0:05:00- Oh, thank you very much, miss. Thank you.- It's all right.

0:05:00 > 0:05:02Cheers, have a good evening.

0:05:03 > 0:05:06You get people that - that will give you a £10 note,

0:05:06 > 0:05:10right in front of you. If he's getting, sort of...

0:05:10 > 0:05:13that sort of money, regular, it soon tots up.

0:05:16 > 0:05:18The team's made up of a bloke from

0:05:18 > 0:05:21the council called Richard and a copper called Mark.

0:05:23 > 0:05:27Our job isn't specifically to target people for drug possession.

0:05:28 > 0:05:30Obviously, if I find it on them, I would deal with it,

0:05:30 > 0:05:34but Streetwise was set up to stop anti-social behaviour,

0:05:34 > 0:05:36and a lot of that is focused around the begging.

0:05:38 > 0:05:43It is an offence, and we know that the money from begging is,

0:05:43 > 0:05:46nine times out of ten, used to fund an addiction of some sort.

0:05:50 > 0:05:53Usually, you'll get one sat there.

0:05:53 > 0:05:55And they're not, so they're up the road.

0:06:00 > 0:06:03You've got the Hippodrome down the road, you got the O2 Academy,

0:06:03 > 0:06:06place next door, and that generates the most public, so these are

0:06:06 > 0:06:09the entrances that everybody comes in to collect their cars.

0:06:12 > 0:06:14Oh, thank you, my darling.

0:06:14 > 0:06:16Cheers, thank you, have a good evening.

0:06:17 > 0:06:20There's another pay station just through that door, there.

0:06:20 > 0:06:21That's another favourite spot,

0:06:21 > 0:06:24or they would be up on level eight...

0:06:24 > 0:06:26so, depending which one they're on,

0:06:26 > 0:06:29it'll be how many flights of stairs we've got to walk up.

0:06:35 > 0:06:39Richard. He is the carrot of the carrot and stick, if you like.

0:06:39 > 0:06:42He's the fluffy side, and then I'm the stick side.

0:06:44 > 0:06:46Somebody's here.

0:06:46 > 0:06:47'Doors closing.'

0:06:49 > 0:06:53If any arresting needs to be done, that falls down to me.

0:06:53 > 0:06:56But, we go down the route of support,

0:06:56 > 0:07:00and offering them support before we start to use enforcement.

0:07:03 > 0:07:05'Doors opening.'

0:07:10 > 0:07:12It's shit, I got about three quid.

0:07:14 > 0:07:16We wanna get them onto their prescriptions,

0:07:16 > 0:07:18because until we take away the need to make the money,

0:07:18 > 0:07:23to fund the drug habit by way of that script, the prescription,

0:07:23 > 0:07:25we are not going to get them out of the car park.

0:07:27 > 0:07:31- Ah, no way. Have you come to arrest me?- What for?

0:07:31 > 0:07:33HE MUMBLES

0:07:33 > 0:07:35- You all right?- We do need to speak to you and Jolene.

0:07:35 > 0:07:38- To me and Jolene?- Yeah. It would be easier to just do it all together.

0:07:40 > 0:07:42- Not, not going to arrest us. - Why?

0:07:42 > 0:07:45- So it's not your bag out on level one then?- Eh?

0:07:45 > 0:07:47Not your bag down on level one then?

0:07:47 > 0:07:48- Eh?- With the sign?- That's mine.

0:07:48 > 0:07:50That's yours, is it? Right.

0:07:55 > 0:07:58Rich, are you getting a script?

0:07:58 > 0:08:00To be honest, I've not started the process yet.

0:08:00 > 0:08:02- You've not started it yet? - I need to.

0:08:02 > 0:08:04I understood you are saying you weren't -

0:08:04 > 0:08:06- didn't want to do the script? - I didn't say I didn't want to do

0:08:06 > 0:08:09the script. The reason I haven't is, cos it's just...

0:08:09 > 0:08:12it's just crap life so that's why I haven't, but I know that I need to

0:08:12 > 0:08:13and I do want to get on one, really.

0:08:13 > 0:08:16All you care about is getting money and getting better...

0:08:16 > 0:08:18And not going to appointments, so, if I make them for the afternoon,

0:08:18 > 0:08:20that's where I think I go wrong,

0:08:20 > 0:08:23cos they always seem to make them early in the morning.

0:08:23 > 0:08:25So why don't you at least go and register, this week?

0:08:25 > 0:08:27- I will, yeah. - So, you don't have to be doing this.

0:08:27 > 0:08:30And then, get an appointment with the doctor.

0:08:30 > 0:08:31You need to go in and see them.

0:08:31 > 0:08:33It's an hour-long assessment, isn't it?

0:08:33 > 0:08:36Yep. They'll do the assessment, and then they'll script you from there,

0:08:36 > 0:08:38- depending on the assessment. - Yeah.

0:08:38 > 0:08:40Right, so we can't leave you here.

0:08:40 > 0:08:42- No.- And you are in breach, so we are going to kick you out.

0:08:42 > 0:08:45Yeah, I will sign up to the doctors, all right? All right, see you.

0:08:46 > 0:08:49We want to get them on to their prescriptions ideally at the same

0:08:49 > 0:08:52time. That way, they can sort of support each other,

0:08:52 > 0:08:55become a bit less chaotic, and try and get clean together.

0:08:56 > 0:09:01- How much have you got, about £7, innit?- £7.10, I think.

0:09:01 > 0:09:04It's dead, as well, look how dead it is.

0:09:04 > 0:09:06That's what I'm saying.

0:09:06 > 0:09:07I'll see you in a bit, all right?

0:09:07 > 0:09:09Mwah, love you, good luck, give me a kiss then?

0:09:09 > 0:09:12- Just cheer up, it'll be all right. - No, it's not going to be, is it?

0:09:12 > 0:09:14- I love you.- Well just pretend it is, then. Just, smile.

0:09:24 > 0:09:26I'm cautiously optimistic.

0:09:27 > 0:09:29- I'm too cynical.- I don't know why.

0:09:29 > 0:09:33The trouble is, they are making so much money here, even on a script,

0:09:33 > 0:09:35they're going to miss the money.

0:09:37 > 0:09:40Whether or not they come back begging, remains to be seen, basically.

0:09:40 > 0:09:43But if she does, we just keep putting the breaches in and then

0:09:43 > 0:09:47we'll take her to court on the warrant.

0:09:47 > 0:09:49- Shall we go and get a brew? - I think that's a good idea.

0:09:56 > 0:09:59Hiya. Oh, thank you. Cheers.

0:09:59 > 0:10:01Have a good evening. Thank you.

0:10:03 > 0:10:05When I was younger, about 13,

0:10:05 > 0:10:08some older bloke gave me heroin for the first time.

0:10:09 > 0:10:11It makes you feel just nice, you know?

0:10:11 > 0:10:13Just dreamy.

0:10:13 > 0:10:16I know it's wrong and I know it's bad and I know it's shit and you

0:10:16 > 0:10:18shouldn't do it, but I do enjoy it.

0:10:18 > 0:10:20That's the problem.

0:10:34 > 0:10:35Morning!

0:10:37 > 0:10:39Time to move on. All right?

0:10:55 > 0:11:00- Jo? Oi.- Mmm...- Get up, innit?

0:11:05 > 0:11:07Come on, sweetheart.

0:11:19 > 0:11:21Yo, it's Rich.

0:11:21 > 0:11:23Yeah, can I come and see you for two Bs and a Y?

0:11:24 > 0:11:26Yeah, go on.

0:11:26 > 0:11:28Yeah, what you mean, Kensington Park?

0:11:29 > 0:11:31All right, then. Cool. On my way, man.

0:11:31 > 0:11:33Right, bless, man.

0:11:33 > 0:11:35Give me that money, Jo. Give me that money.

0:11:35 > 0:11:37Yes, Richard. I'll give you the F-word money!

0:11:39 > 0:11:42- I'll be as quick as I can, all right?- Yeah. It'd be better if you could run.

0:11:53 > 0:11:56I think the misconception is that homeless people and heroin addicts

0:11:56 > 0:11:59like, just swan around being off their nut all the time.

0:11:59 > 0:12:03They don't understand that you actually need it to keep well.

0:12:03 > 0:12:08Come on! Because if you don't take it, obviously, then, you know,

0:12:08 > 0:12:12start to rattle like, the stomach aches, sneezing, everything hurts.

0:12:12 > 0:12:15You feel sick, you've got no energy, you know,

0:12:15 > 0:12:17you literally do it to be well.

0:12:19 > 0:12:20Sweetheart.

0:12:23 > 0:12:26Do you want me to do it? No, don't do it on the nice T-shirt, baby.

0:12:26 > 0:12:29I'll give you something else. And please don't drop it.

0:12:34 > 0:12:38Hi, Becky. It's Richard Hawkridge from the council, Streetwise.

0:12:38 > 0:12:43I'm calling with regard to two people who we've been trying to

0:12:43 > 0:12:46support get onto a methadone script.

0:12:46 > 0:12:48- Right.- A chap called Richard.

0:12:48 > 0:12:52- Right.- He was meant to be coming in early this week in order to get an

0:12:52 > 0:12:54appointment with the doctor.

0:12:54 > 0:12:57I just wanted to see if he had been in to do that.

0:12:57 > 0:12:59- Sure, bear with me a moment. - Cheers.

0:12:59 > 0:13:02There isn't any record of it on there.

0:13:09 > 0:13:10Where's my cardi?

0:13:14 > 0:13:16I know you're tired as well, darling,

0:13:16 > 0:13:18but I'll take over from you as soon as I get back.

0:13:18 > 0:13:21Yeah? Do you know what I mean?

0:13:21 > 0:13:24We will have a good bit of money then, innit?

0:13:24 > 0:13:27- Good luck, baby.- OK, baby. I love you so much.- See ya.

0:13:30 > 0:13:35Three years ago, before I come to Bristol, I had two jobs.

0:13:35 > 0:13:36My son living with me.

0:13:40 > 0:13:42I had a three-bedroom house.

0:13:42 > 0:13:44Oh!

0:13:45 > 0:13:47The only thing was my ex was violent.

0:13:50 > 0:13:51He was very controlling.

0:13:52 > 0:13:53He was getting worse and worse

0:13:53 > 0:13:56and he ended up stabbing my friend up really, really badly.

0:14:00 > 0:14:02Ha!

0:14:08 > 0:14:13If you've got so many problems in your life that you don't know how

0:14:13 > 0:14:15to start dealing with them,

0:14:15 > 0:14:18you just want someone to come along and wave a magic wand and it all to

0:14:18 > 0:14:20be sorted out for you,

0:14:20 > 0:14:24that is what heroin was, you know, it was my magic wand.

0:14:24 > 0:14:27'Please mind the door.

0:14:27 > 0:14:29'Doors closing.'

0:14:29 > 0:14:31So when was the last time you used?

0:14:31 > 0:14:34- About an hour ago.- 'Going up.'

0:14:34 > 0:14:36Over the last four weeks, used every day?

0:14:36 > 0:14:40- Yeah.- Yeah.- 'Doors opening.'

0:14:40 > 0:14:42And what sort of quantities have you been using?

0:14:42 > 0:14:44I mean like £300 a day, like loads.

0:14:44 > 0:14:47Is that just on gear or is that crack as well?

0:14:47 > 0:14:50About 200 on gear and 100 on crack.

0:14:50 > 0:14:53The minimum amount is about £200 every day.

0:14:53 > 0:14:54It's stupid.

0:14:57 > 0:14:59When I had my son, I was clean and all that.

0:14:59 > 0:15:02So, yeah, I didn't smoke when I was pregnant.

0:15:02 > 0:15:04He is with my mum.

0:15:04 > 0:15:06OK. So how often do you see him?

0:15:06 > 0:15:07Not at the moment. Because I'm using.

0:15:07 > 0:15:10But as soon as I've got my script, I'll see.

0:15:10 > 0:15:12- Sure.- I miss him so much.

0:15:12 > 0:15:14Have you ever been in the domestically violent relationship?

0:15:14 > 0:15:17Yeah, that's what I got moved here for.

0:15:19 > 0:15:21And have you ever experienced other than that,

0:15:21 > 0:15:24physical or emotional abuse at any time in your life?

0:15:24 > 0:15:25Yeah.

0:15:28 > 0:15:30When the domestic violence thing happened,

0:15:30 > 0:15:34I ended up getting moved to a refuge.

0:15:34 > 0:15:36My son stayed with my mum, he didn't want to come,

0:15:36 > 0:15:38because he was obviously at school.

0:15:38 > 0:15:41So basically I was plucked from everything that was keeping me stable.

0:15:42 > 0:15:46My job, my house, it was all of a sudden, it was all taken away from me.

0:15:52 > 0:15:54So at the moment there is a housing problem.

0:15:54 > 0:15:56Yeah. As in there is no house.

0:15:59 > 0:16:01OK, so you're currently sleeping in a car park.

0:16:01 > 0:16:04Have you got any movement on sort of any housing?

0:16:04 > 0:16:08No, as soon as we're both on scripts, we'll start looking for private rent.

0:16:08 > 0:16:10Because I have always had my own house.

0:16:10 > 0:16:13- I don't want to go into like a hostel or...- Sure, yeah.

0:16:13 > 0:16:15I just, yeah. Especially if we're trying to get clean.

0:16:15 > 0:16:18Even if it is just a room in a private rented house to start off

0:16:18 > 0:16:20with and build ourselves up so...

0:16:20 > 0:16:22You are looking to go on Subutex with morphine?

0:16:22 > 0:16:25- Yeah.- When do you think you would go into withdrawal today?

0:16:25 > 0:16:28- Because what we normally do is we will give you two...- Two hours.

0:16:28 > 0:16:30Two 2mg tablets, 4mg,

0:16:30 > 0:16:33to take away and use when you're in withdrawal.

0:16:33 > 0:16:34- Yeah.- And that's the starting dose.

0:16:34 > 0:16:36Getting that into your system.

0:16:36 > 0:16:39And then you can have that and then go to the pharmacy tomorrow and get

0:16:39 > 0:16:41- your 16.- Yeah, cool. - Does that seem...?

0:16:41 > 0:16:43Yeah. Nice to meet you.

0:16:43 > 0:16:45I'll see you soon. Take care. Bye-bye.

0:16:52 > 0:16:54Are we going now?

0:16:54 > 0:16:55I-I...

0:16:55 > 0:16:56- Come here!- I know.

0:16:56 > 0:16:58This why I don't pack anything up.

0:16:59 > 0:17:00Right, let's go.

0:17:20 > 0:17:23It's not him. No.

0:17:23 > 0:17:24Yeah, that's Rich.

0:17:24 > 0:17:27- That's him!- He knows damn well he shouldn't be in there.

0:17:28 > 0:17:30If he's kipping up there, that's just taking the piss.

0:17:30 > 0:17:32Yeah.

0:17:32 > 0:17:35It wouldn't have been so bad if he had have found somewhere else to

0:17:35 > 0:17:37kip, but he's not even bothered, has he, so...?

0:17:37 > 0:17:39And he knows that they'll...

0:17:39 > 0:17:42have him at the night shelter, though, while they assess them.

0:17:42 > 0:17:45- But of course they are not going to want to...- They are not going to get

0:17:45 > 0:17:47in together. It will be separate, won't it?

0:17:49 > 0:17:51- How much money have you got? - We need to get 11 quid.

0:17:51 > 0:17:55- We need to get 11 quid. - You should sit down here a minute.

0:17:55 > 0:17:57It is dead down here, Jo. There are no cars here.

0:17:57 > 0:17:59Yeah, but people will come through, though.

0:17:59 > 0:18:01They just don't come through to come here.

0:18:02 > 0:18:07The council housing team have had a referral for these two.

0:18:07 > 0:18:10But because they have arrived from out of town,

0:18:10 > 0:18:12they have no local connection.

0:18:12 > 0:18:15So there will be no offer of a flat or a house.

0:18:15 > 0:18:20I have made some enquiries and she is fleeing domestic violence.

0:18:20 > 0:18:22She has got no intentions of going back.

0:18:22 > 0:18:25You know, to be honest, I can't blame her.

0:18:25 > 0:18:27She may well have been, at some point,

0:18:27 > 0:18:30removed by the police and put in a safe house.

0:18:30 > 0:18:33But it just didn't work out for her.

0:18:33 > 0:18:35We don't know what the images are from today.

0:18:35 > 0:18:36We won't get that until tomorrow.

0:18:36 > 0:18:39- Mike, have you been in Trenchard lately?- I have been there today.

0:18:39 > 0:18:42He was in there today? What a muppet!

0:18:44 > 0:18:45I'll go and find Rich in the morning,

0:18:45 > 0:18:48tell him that if he turns up at the station, you can arrest him,

0:18:48 > 0:18:50take him straight to court.

0:18:50 > 0:18:53- All right.- Saves him from being in custody over the weekend.

0:18:53 > 0:18:55OK. What time do you off, five?

0:18:55 > 0:18:57No, half past four she wants to get away.

0:18:57 > 0:19:00If I'm quick, I could get the quarter past four bus.

0:19:00 > 0:19:02She's on the wine tasting tonight.

0:19:02 > 0:19:04So she is on a runner.

0:19:21 > 0:19:23You come into Bridewell at ten.

0:19:23 > 0:19:25I thought it was the Magistrates' Court.

0:19:25 > 0:19:26You have to be arrested first.

0:19:26 > 0:19:28If you don't come in at ten,

0:19:28 > 0:19:31we just end up chasing you around and then you can come in whenever

0:19:31 > 0:19:33- and it'll be an overnight job.- Yeah.

0:19:37 > 0:19:38Yeah.

0:19:38 > 0:19:41- I say it because I have to.- Yeah.

0:19:41 > 0:19:44Yeah, I do appreciate the way you have done it.

0:19:44 > 0:19:46Bridewell, ten o'clock.

0:19:46 > 0:19:48Yeah? Is that doable?

0:19:48 > 0:19:50- Yeah, 100%.- Sound. All right.

0:19:50 > 0:19:53- See you at ten.- See you later.

0:19:59 > 0:20:00I just don't know, I just don't trust him.

0:20:00 > 0:20:04I don't know. I've just got a bad feeling, man.

0:20:04 > 0:20:05Probably just being paranoid, probably.

0:20:05 > 0:20:08- Yeah, OK. Right, see you later. - All right, see you in a bit.

0:20:08 > 0:20:11I'll walk down there.

0:20:13 > 0:20:15I was a good kid, really.

0:20:16 > 0:20:18I like, always did everything to help out my mum.

0:20:18 > 0:20:20Do you know what I mean, I was a good kid.

0:20:20 > 0:20:23I did good at school because I was all in top sets and all that.

0:20:24 > 0:20:27Where it went wrong was, one of my neighbours was getting a bit bullied

0:20:27 > 0:20:30at school, quite bad, beaten up and that.

0:20:31 > 0:20:33So one day in the changing rooms,

0:20:33 > 0:20:36I stuck up for him and I started getting bullied.

0:20:41 > 0:20:45- Arranged to meet there at ten. - Take a seat.

0:20:45 > 0:20:46OK, thank you.

0:20:46 > 0:20:50There's like 20 kids chasing me, kicking my head in.

0:20:50 > 0:20:54I had like big footprints on my face and this was going on like everyday.

0:20:57 > 0:20:59It got really bad, to the point

0:20:59 > 0:21:01where I tried to kill myself and that. I was only like 13.

0:21:01 > 0:21:04I took loads and loads of tablets.

0:21:04 > 0:21:06Turned out that they weren't what I thought they were,

0:21:06 > 0:21:09they were like some special vitamin things.

0:21:09 > 0:21:12So they didn't actually do fuck all.

0:21:12 > 0:21:14And I just woke up the next morning, still alive.

0:21:14 > 0:21:17I was like, "For fuck's sake, I'm still alive!"

0:21:21 > 0:21:23- Morning.- All right.- All right,

0:21:23 > 0:21:25there was a warrant issued on the 26th of August.

0:21:26 > 0:21:29For alleged breaches of injunction.

0:21:29 > 0:21:30So I am arresting you on that at 10:25.

0:21:30 > 0:21:33You don't have to say anything but it may harm your defence

0:21:33 > 0:21:36if you don't mention when questioned something which you later rely on

0:21:36 > 0:21:38in court. Anything you do say may be given in evidence.

0:21:38 > 0:21:40We will stick you in that van for five minutes.

0:21:40 > 0:21:44It's like baby steps to try and push him towards accepting the help that

0:21:44 > 0:21:48is on offer. And then a lot comes down to the individual on how badly

0:21:48 > 0:21:53they want to kick the habit and how badly they want to progress on with

0:21:53 > 0:21:56- their life.- You don't want to be doing this when you're 30, 40 years

0:21:56 > 0:22:00old, because were finding a lot of people now and they're doing it at

0:22:00 > 0:22:03that sort of age and they are having health problems,

0:22:03 > 0:22:05whether it is the leg cut off, or they're dying.

0:22:05 > 0:22:08- Sad, innit? Horrible stuff. - It is horrible.

0:22:08 > 0:22:11And in normal life, don't get me wrong, I'm not dissing your...

0:22:11 > 0:22:13- No, no.- ..but you will have a decent chance.

0:22:13 > 0:22:16Because you come across well.

0:22:16 > 0:22:18When I get sorted out and on a script, I want to help,

0:22:18 > 0:22:21like, other people to get off it and that, sort out it.

0:22:21 > 0:22:23Yeah, especially like young people.

0:22:23 > 0:22:25Because this is such a waste of life, man.

0:22:26 > 0:22:28Well done. You're all booked in.

0:22:28 > 0:22:30- Thanks.- Cheers, bud.

0:22:36 > 0:22:40He's on conditional bail until the 16th of September.

0:22:40 > 0:22:4212 o'clock, here. Right.

0:22:42 > 0:22:44So if he is caught begging within this period,

0:22:44 > 0:22:47we will have him straight back in on a warrant.

0:22:47 > 0:22:50So he's got to behave himself while he's on this bail, basically.

0:22:50 > 0:22:53- Cool.- Time for a cup of tea.

0:23:03 > 0:23:05They said that if we're coming back to this car park at all,

0:23:05 > 0:23:08they are going to send me to jail, yeah.

0:23:08 > 0:23:10But I think it's steps like getting on the script and that.

0:23:10 > 0:23:12Yeah, of course it is.

0:23:12 > 0:23:15That is going to change everything for the future, innit?

0:23:15 > 0:23:18Exactly. It's a bit shit we started at different times, really.

0:23:18 > 0:23:21I wanted to do it for ages, but I just need to actually do it now.

0:23:21 > 0:23:24Really it's the good thing about the police hassling us, really,

0:23:24 > 0:23:26because it's making us do it.

0:23:26 > 0:23:29In five years' time I want to be in a house,

0:23:29 > 0:23:30have a car, have a good job.

0:23:32 > 0:23:35Maybe have kids. Maybe get married and that sort of thing.

0:23:35 > 0:23:39That is what we want to do, isn't it? Just to be normal and sort it all out.

0:23:39 > 0:23:41I want to go on holiday,

0:23:41 > 0:23:44it's the first thing we will do when we get clean, probably.

0:23:44 > 0:23:45I said I want us to go to rehab.

0:23:45 > 0:23:49Because it is going to be hard, even on the scripts, isn't it?

0:23:49 > 0:23:52- It is going to be hard.- Yeah, but I think, at the end of the day, you

0:23:52 > 0:23:54are always going to be around it.

0:23:54 > 0:23:56If you really want to do it, you will stick to it.

0:23:56 > 0:23:59Obviously that's the one thing we've got is we have got each other,

0:23:59 > 0:24:01do you know what I mean, to support each other and that.

0:24:03 > 0:24:06We've been together for like nearly three years now.

0:24:08 > 0:24:10I was seven months clean.

0:24:11 > 0:24:14I was going to drug groups and that and I was having a really bad day.

0:24:18 > 0:24:21And so there was a guy who was in my drug group and I knew he was still

0:24:21 > 0:24:24using drugs and I said to him, "Can you get me some?"

0:24:24 > 0:24:28Took me to this girl and she sold me some heroin and that and it was Jo.

0:24:31 > 0:24:33She's always said to me since, like,

0:24:33 > 0:24:35she feels guilty because if she had known that,

0:24:35 > 0:24:37she wouldn't have sold it to me.

0:24:37 > 0:24:39I said to her, listen, it's not your fault.

0:24:39 > 0:24:41I'm a big boy. I chose to do it, do you know what I mean?

0:24:43 > 0:24:45I love him so, so much.

0:24:46 > 0:24:48I never believed in marriage before I met Rich.

0:24:49 > 0:24:51I think we are meant to be together,

0:24:51 > 0:24:53so that is one good thing that's come out of it.

0:25:10 > 0:25:14That's the most recent. 9th of September, 20 past 10 at night.

0:25:14 > 0:25:18There she is there. The 10th of September, 20 past 7.

0:25:18 > 0:25:2110th of September, 20 past 10.

0:25:23 > 0:25:2511th of September, 20 past 5.

0:25:26 > 0:25:2813th...

0:25:28 > 0:25:30- And then yesterday, the 14th. - Yesterday evening.

0:25:30 > 0:25:33- Now she is obviously just taking the piss...- Yeah.

0:25:33 > 0:25:37..and making a fortune out of the public. Even if she is on a script,

0:25:37 > 0:25:39she is still going up the car park and she is still flat out begging.

0:25:39 > 0:25:42- I think her time's up.- Yep.

0:25:44 > 0:25:48It might seem a bit unfair to be arresting Jolene.

0:25:48 > 0:25:50She's now on a script.

0:25:50 > 0:25:54Although, what really concerns us now is Richard's not on one.

0:25:55 > 0:25:58For him to still be using drugs in front of Jolene,

0:25:58 > 0:26:01she's going to find that extremely hard.

0:26:01 > 0:26:04And we've got to think, well, is it time to split them,

0:26:04 > 0:26:07give her a chance to get properly clean in prison?

0:26:07 > 0:26:09Give her that opportunity to have a clean break?

0:26:12 > 0:26:13Good morning, all.

0:26:16 > 0:26:18You know what we are here for, I presume, by now.

0:26:18 > 0:26:20All right.

0:26:20 > 0:26:22- It is ten past eight.- What...? - You don't have to say anything

0:26:22 > 0:26:25but it may harm your defence if you don't mention, when questioned,

0:26:25 > 0:26:27something which you later rely on court.

0:26:27 > 0:26:31- Anything you do say...- God's sake, why?- Because of your breaches.

0:26:31 > 0:26:34To the point where I actually sorted out my scripts,

0:26:34 > 0:26:36sorted out the housing thing, sorted out all that.

0:26:36 > 0:26:38Fair enough, you might have got your scripts,

0:26:38 > 0:26:40but you've been in here every single day since, which is till breach

0:26:40 > 0:26:41of your injunction.

0:26:41 > 0:26:44As soon as my scripts are here then, I won't, will I?

0:26:44 > 0:26:47But you said that last time. You're on it. You have been on it

0:26:47 > 0:26:50for a week now and you are back in here all the time.

0:26:50 > 0:26:53A week? Only started my script properly on Friday...

0:26:53 > 0:26:57And it is Friday the ninth you got it.

0:26:57 > 0:26:58Come on, then.

0:26:58 > 0:27:01You're going straight to court anyway.

0:27:01 > 0:27:03Are you still coming down? 12 o'clock for you, isn't it?

0:27:03 > 0:27:05Yeah.

0:27:05 > 0:27:06SHE MUTTERS

0:27:07 > 0:27:10Is there any medication that you need to take with you?

0:27:10 > 0:27:11No.

0:27:14 > 0:27:16This bag, are you taking this bag with you?

0:27:16 > 0:27:19- Yeah.- Have you got your book? - Yeah.- Good.

0:27:19 > 0:27:21- OK, I'm just going to go over the top, OK?- Yeah.

0:27:21 > 0:27:24And then what are we to do is just go through the middle,

0:27:24 > 0:27:27- make sure there is nothing there. - Yeah.- All right?

0:27:27 > 0:27:30OK. That is fine.

0:27:30 > 0:27:33I'm just checking...

0:27:33 > 0:27:35INDISTINCT

0:27:45 > 0:27:48- All right?- Yes. Bye.

0:27:48 > 0:27:51- I will see you soon. - Yeah.

0:27:51 > 0:27:53VOICEOVER: They are a very close couple,

0:27:53 > 0:27:57which is quite rare to see in the street community.

0:28:01 > 0:28:05But we quite often see a couple, one will disappear inside,

0:28:05 > 0:28:08and then the partner is off with somebody else while they are away.

0:28:16 > 0:28:21Richard is due in court today as well, just before Jo.

0:28:21 > 0:28:25If they're a couple, the judge might bang them both up.

0:28:25 > 0:28:27So maybe a bit of time away from each other might help.

0:28:28 > 0:28:31- It might do.- It breaks up that routine that they've got at the

0:28:31 > 0:28:33- moment, doesn't it?- Yeah.

0:28:41 > 0:28:44When I was in court, the solicitor for the council is some bloke

0:28:44 > 0:28:46who sounds like he's been kicked in the bollocks.

0:28:46 > 0:28:48He's got the most annoying voice.

0:28:48 > 0:28:49Not only had I breached,

0:28:49 > 0:28:53but they had CCTV footage of me cooking up a bag and banging up in

0:28:53 > 0:28:55the stairwell. So they weren't very happy about that.

0:29:01 > 0:29:07He got a 28-day sentence, suspended...

0:29:08 > 0:29:14..for six months, on the basis that he goes to that appointment at BDP

0:29:14 > 0:29:16on the 23rd of September.

0:29:18 > 0:29:22So he decided to give me one last final, final, final chance.

0:29:22 > 0:29:24And then as I was leaving, I heard

0:29:24 > 0:29:26they were going to be bringing Jo in.

0:29:26 > 0:29:28She's in prison.

0:29:28 > 0:29:30She was kind of like, "Oh, you know, if you send me to prison,

0:29:30 > 0:29:32"then I don't care.

0:29:32 > 0:29:34"That's fine. But it's just going to set me back.

0:29:34 > 0:29:38"What's the point?" I hope Rich sees his script through and that I can

0:29:38 > 0:29:40get the drugs team to sort her out.

0:29:40 > 0:29:42She said, "Oh, my God, I can't believe I'm going to jail

0:29:42 > 0:29:44"and you're not."

0:29:44 > 0:29:46So I gave her a little wave, like a little sarcastic wave.

0:29:46 > 0:29:47Like, "Bye."

0:29:51 > 0:29:55She was, like, flicking the Vs and mouthing fuck off towards Rich.

0:29:55 > 0:29:57I don't know what that was all about.

0:30:08 > 0:30:11To my beautiful wifey, Jo.

0:30:11 > 0:30:14I'm so, so sorry I upset you in court.

0:30:16 > 0:30:20I didn't think about how cunty it was to wave to you like that.

0:30:22 > 0:30:25Looking back, I know it seemed like I didn't care

0:30:25 > 0:30:27that you were getting sent down.

0:30:29 > 0:30:31I hate the way things are left between us.

0:30:33 > 0:30:35I feel so bad, babe.

0:30:35 > 0:30:36Honestly, I'm so sorry.

0:30:39 > 0:30:41Please forgive me.

0:30:41 > 0:30:43You're my baby girl and you always will be.

0:30:43 > 0:30:45I'm so scared that you are going to start thinking

0:30:45 > 0:30:47you're better off without me.

0:30:49 > 0:30:52I know I'm a cunt sometimes and I'm moody and I give the impression

0:30:52 > 0:30:54I don't care about you, but I really do.

0:30:57 > 0:31:01All I want is for me and you to get clean and have a normal life.

0:31:05 > 0:31:09You make me so happy, even when we are homeless and smackheads,

0:31:09 > 0:31:12so think how happy we can be when we're sorted.

0:31:13 > 0:31:17And I get my script on Friday. I'm sticking to it.

0:31:17 > 0:31:21We can both be clean when you get out and life will be so much better.

0:31:25 > 0:31:27So, do you know what meds you are wanting to go onto?

0:31:27 > 0:31:28Yeah, methadone.

0:31:28 > 0:31:31Methadone, yeah? So at the moment how much are you using?

0:31:31 > 0:31:32- Loads.- Loads?

0:31:32 > 0:31:36Yeah, like... Probably, like, eight bags a day.

0:31:36 > 0:31:37Eight bags a day, yeah.

0:31:37 > 0:31:39And crack as well?

0:31:39 > 0:31:41- Yeah.- Yeah. And is that about the same?

0:31:41 > 0:31:42No. Probably, like, double.

0:31:42 > 0:31:45- Is it?- Yeah.- OK. How old were you when you first started using?

0:31:45 > 0:31:47Crack, I was about 17.

0:31:47 > 0:31:49And heroin, about 24.

0:31:49 > 0:31:51Yeah, OK.

0:31:51 > 0:31:54So, in terms of your mental health,

0:31:54 > 0:31:56have you got any major concerns around that?

0:31:56 > 0:31:58- Yeah.- OK.- I've got schizophrenia and that.

0:31:58 > 0:31:59OK. Right.

0:31:59 > 0:32:01- It's been like bad lately.- Yeah.

0:32:01 > 0:32:03Not sleeping at all, really, or anything.

0:32:03 > 0:32:06And would you say it is worse at the moment than it has been?

0:32:06 > 0:32:07- Yeah.- OK. Yeah.

0:32:08 > 0:32:11So what we do today is we'd start you on 30 mls.

0:32:11 > 0:32:13- Yeah.- OK. Do that for about five days.

0:32:13 > 0:32:15- Yeah.- So because you are currently homeless

0:32:15 > 0:32:18and have nowhere safe to store the methadone,

0:32:18 > 0:32:20we will probably look at seven day supervised.

0:32:20 > 0:32:23- Yeah, yeah. That's fine. Cheers. Thank you.- No worries.

0:32:23 > 0:32:25- Thank you. - All right. Take care.- Bye.

0:32:30 > 0:32:32They have to start you on 30 mls for five days.

0:32:32 > 0:32:35That ain't going to do fuck all.

0:32:35 > 0:32:36'Ground floor.'

0:32:57 > 0:32:58I need you, babe.

0:33:01 > 0:33:02I miss you so much.

0:33:05 > 0:33:07I can't wait to see you.

0:33:07 > 0:33:08Love you so, so much.

0:33:12 > 0:33:15So now just keep it real, be still.

0:33:16 > 0:33:19And just chill out. I hope it's not dragging like it is out here.

0:33:23 > 0:33:24You are my life, Jolene.

0:33:28 > 0:33:30I love you, my little egg.

0:33:30 > 0:33:31Can't wait to hear from you.

0:33:31 > 0:33:34Loads and loads of love, your stupid, sorry husband, Richard.

0:33:35 > 0:33:37Sweet. Mwah!

0:34:00 > 0:34:02Thanks very much, man. Cheers. Thank you.

0:34:24 > 0:34:27He's got no reason to be begging, he's on his script.

0:34:27 > 0:34:28And he obviously still is.

0:34:28 > 0:34:31So he's just taking the mick out of this injunction.

0:34:34 > 0:34:36I think he's got comfortable in the car park, hasn't he?

0:34:36 > 0:34:38Yeah. Routine, comfy.

0:34:39 > 0:34:42Make a lot of money in it, that's the problem.

0:34:42 > 0:34:46He's just got this little bubble that he's in and he needs bursting.

0:34:48 > 0:34:50VOICEOVER: He's not aware Jolene's out today.

0:34:50 > 0:34:52He thinks she's out tomorrow.

0:34:52 > 0:34:53- Shall I put this in the back of your car?- Yeah.

0:34:53 > 0:34:55Is that all right? It's a bit heavy.

0:34:55 > 0:34:56Glad you've only got the one.

0:34:56 > 0:34:58We've had people come out with five before.

0:34:58 > 0:34:59Well...

0:34:59 > 0:35:02VOICEOVER: She's being picked up from prison by a charitable

0:35:02 > 0:35:04organisation. They're giving her a lift back into Bristol.

0:35:04 > 0:35:07They're going to sort out with a few basics to get her back on her feet.

0:35:07 > 0:35:09I don't have any proper shoes. Like these are,

0:35:09 > 0:35:11like, literally got holes in and that.

0:35:11 > 0:35:14I don't know whether you help with shoes.

0:35:14 > 0:35:17A bit of clothes shopping, a bit of toiletries.

0:35:17 > 0:35:18No doubt take her for a big breakfast.

0:35:23 > 0:35:24CHATTER

0:35:24 > 0:35:27VOICEOVER: For her safety, I'm not going to arrest Richard today.

0:35:27 > 0:35:31I think at this stage, he can look after Jolene, being a lone female.

0:35:31 > 0:35:33There's no doubt, you know,

0:35:33 > 0:35:35she's got nowhere else to go at the moment.

0:35:35 > 0:35:39If he's on his script, that should negate him having to use.

0:35:39 > 0:35:41We've got the warrant.

0:35:41 > 0:35:43If he relapses, we can go and execute that.

0:35:43 > 0:35:45But we're going to give him that chance and see how they go.

0:35:48 > 0:35:50- Richard?- Yeah.- Morning.

0:35:50 > 0:35:53- Oh, you're not going to take me down, are you?- No, not now.

0:35:53 > 0:35:55No, we're not taking you anywhere today.

0:35:55 > 0:35:58Manage to get much sleep last night, Richard?

0:35:58 > 0:36:00Yeah. Proper ill with this fucking flu.

0:36:00 > 0:36:02- It's doing my head in.- Flu, is it?

0:36:02 > 0:36:04Now is it flu, or is it just the

0:36:04 > 0:36:06script isn't big enough at the minute?

0:36:06 > 0:36:09I'm hoping my script goes up today. I won't have to use at all.

0:36:09 > 0:36:11I've been using still because my script ain't helping.

0:36:11 > 0:36:13Only, like, one or two bags, compared to the eight or

0:36:13 > 0:36:1610 I was doing before. Hopefully, today, 10 mls, that will be enough.

0:36:16 > 0:36:19- I won't have to use at all. - Got some other news for you as well,

0:36:19 > 0:36:20reference Jolene.

0:36:20 > 0:36:23This organisation are picking her up in a car and then

0:36:23 > 0:36:25bringing her into Bristol.

0:36:25 > 0:36:26Because Eastwood's out in the middle of nowhere.

0:36:26 > 0:36:29- Yeah.- So she's detoxing while she was in then, was she?

0:36:29 > 0:36:32I don't know if they took her off. I don't know.

0:36:32 > 0:36:34I thought they put her on a small amount then

0:36:34 > 0:36:37slowly brought her off it. I'm not sure, though.

0:36:37 > 0:36:39We've kept it open for when she comes out,

0:36:39 > 0:36:41but she's got to go at half past two. Make that

0:36:41 > 0:36:44appointment, to say, "Right, I'm here now and I want to carry it on."

0:36:44 > 0:36:47If she misses it, it's going to screw her right over.

0:36:47 > 0:36:50Have you been able to speak to her much while she's been in there?

0:36:50 > 0:36:53I sent her... She sent me some letters, I sent her some letters,

0:36:53 > 0:36:54but cos I'm a fucking idiot,

0:36:54 > 0:36:56I forgot to put my name and that on it,

0:36:56 > 0:36:59so they sent her letters with stamps on it,

0:36:59 > 0:37:01saying you're not allowed to send anonymous mail,

0:37:01 > 0:37:04- so my letters haven't been getting to her.- Right, then.

0:37:05 > 0:37:07Get yourself together.

0:37:19 > 0:37:21VOICEOVER: He knows, or he's going to know,

0:37:21 > 0:37:23that we're going to be after him soon.

0:37:27 > 0:37:31So unless they get a private rented place...

0:37:32 > 0:37:35..which is going to be extremely difficult for him to do,

0:37:35 > 0:37:39because a lot of private landlords now won't touch DSS clients at all,

0:37:39 > 0:37:42they're going for the students, the easy option.

0:37:42 > 0:37:45And housing's just drying up for people like those two.

0:37:46 > 0:37:48Everybody deserves to be housed.

0:37:48 > 0:37:51There's just no housing left for anybody.

0:37:51 > 0:37:54You know, they can't even house people that have lived here all

0:37:54 > 0:37:56their life, let alone people

0:37:56 > 0:37:59that come in, expecting to get it all.

0:38:01 > 0:38:04But I hope Jolene carries on and gets the help that she's already

0:38:04 > 0:38:06been getting and continues with that.

0:38:06 > 0:38:09Well, it's there for her. She should be stabilised now,

0:38:09 > 0:38:12cos she's had two weeks up there on a script.

0:38:12 > 0:38:16So we'll see what happens when Jolene rocks up today.

0:38:16 > 0:38:19- Yeah.- Be interesting to see where they kip tonight.

0:38:24 > 0:38:27- Thank you, my darling. - That's all right.

0:38:27 > 0:38:29Do you do like lattes and cappuccinos, or just...?

0:38:29 > 0:38:31Just teas or coffees.

0:38:43 > 0:38:45I went to prison for walking through a car park.

0:38:45 > 0:38:47Ridiculous.

0:38:48 > 0:38:49This is stuff for you.

0:38:49 > 0:38:51Oh, thank you, ladies.

0:38:51 > 0:38:54It's put together by one of the churches that we work with.

0:38:54 > 0:38:56Ah, thank you, guys, so much.

0:38:58 > 0:39:01- Lawrence Weston. Do you know where that is?- Yeah.

0:39:01 > 0:39:03- It's not really central. - No, but it's quite far, isn't it,

0:39:03 > 0:39:06but it doesn't matter, because if we're going to stay clean...

0:39:06 > 0:39:08When you're ready, I'll press call and then...

0:39:11 > 0:39:12Thank you.

0:39:12 > 0:39:14Hello, is that May?

0:39:16 > 0:39:17Hi, May. My name's Jo.

0:39:17 > 0:39:19I'm calling up about your spare room.

0:39:19 > 0:39:22Maisonette above the shop in Lawrence Weston.

0:39:23 > 0:39:26Not... Sorry, I'm afraid I can't make it tomorrow, I'm working.

0:39:28 > 0:39:30- This weekend, then. - Oh, it's the weekend.

0:39:30 > 0:39:32How about Monday?

0:39:33 > 0:39:34OK then, May. Thanks a lot.

0:39:34 > 0:39:36Bye-bye. Bye. Bye.

0:39:39 > 0:39:40Is that Richard?

0:39:41 > 0:39:43Richard, it's Jolene.

0:39:43 > 0:39:47I've just rang up to look at a room in Lawrence Weston.

0:39:47 > 0:39:50I'm ringing up a few different places now to look at to try and get

0:39:50 > 0:39:52accommodation. I've got my script.

0:39:52 > 0:39:54I have got everything, you know.

0:39:54 > 0:39:56I wondered, is there any chance that you could give me a lift,

0:39:56 > 0:39:58because I don't know where it is?

0:39:58 > 0:40:00You or Mark. On Monday at half past five.

0:40:02 > 0:40:03Cool, and I think my mentors are

0:40:03 > 0:40:06going to help me try and get a cheap

0:40:06 > 0:40:09£10 phone later on today, so we'll have our own phone as well, OK?

0:40:09 > 0:40:11All right.

0:40:11 > 0:40:12Thanks, Richard. Bye.

0:40:20 > 0:40:22Do you feel like you want change?

0:40:22 > 0:40:26Yeah. Otherwise, I wouldn't have done all that today, would I?

0:40:28 > 0:40:32If I've got somewhere to live, yeah, I'm not going to be out doing that,

0:40:32 > 0:40:35because I'd rather stay in, read a book, do my nails.

0:40:35 > 0:40:37You know, get a little bit of volunteering work.

0:40:41 > 0:40:43See, that's banging.

0:40:43 > 0:40:46- I think that's...- Yeah, I thought that was really nice.

0:40:46 > 0:40:49If I wasn't on the streets, I'd love them, but...

0:40:49 > 0:40:51- You'd love them. - Can you ask and see if she...?

0:40:51 > 0:40:52Oh, they're not bad.

0:40:53 > 0:40:56I need a belt, because I'm going to wear that as a dress.

0:40:56 > 0:40:59I'm thinking of things like in multi function.

0:41:00 > 0:41:02I like that one. Oh, thank you.

0:41:02 > 0:41:05- Good stuff.- Thank you.

0:41:07 > 0:41:10The Tesco mobile phone shop is just there.

0:41:11 > 0:41:13Don't park in the NCP.

0:41:13 > 0:41:15It's so expensive.

0:41:15 > 0:41:16Oh, my God!

0:41:16 > 0:41:19And they're cunts in there. They chucked all of my stuff away.

0:41:21 > 0:41:23INAUDIBLE

0:41:27 > 0:41:29Thank you so, so, so much.

0:41:29 > 0:41:32- Honestly.- Yeah, it's got to come from you, hasn't it?

0:41:32 > 0:41:35The mentor will just help you to think about where you want to go and

0:41:35 > 0:41:38encourage you, support you. They're not going to do it for you.

0:41:38 > 0:41:40But say I'm having a shit day, and then you say,

0:41:40 > 0:41:41"Come on, Jo, you've done really well."

0:41:41 > 0:41:44- That can do a lot of good, you know what I mean?- Yeah.

0:41:48 > 0:41:51INAUDIBLE

0:42:19 > 0:42:21Evening.

0:42:26 > 0:42:27All right?

0:42:27 > 0:42:29Thanks for not writing to me.

0:42:29 > 0:42:31And thanks for not sending me no money.

0:42:31 > 0:42:33- I did. Oi, look! - I got no money off you.

0:42:33 > 0:42:34- I never had nothing.- Don't start.

0:42:34 > 0:42:36Look. I didn't write my name on the letters.

0:42:36 > 0:42:39- I forgot.- Anyway, monkey me, monkey me, monkey me.

0:42:39 > 0:42:41Come here, then!

0:42:41 > 0:42:43- I missed you so much. - Oh, listen. They sent a...

0:42:43 > 0:42:45Stamps... You smell all cheese and onion.

0:42:45 > 0:42:46Saying I didn't...

0:42:48 > 0:42:52- They sent me a thing saying I didn't write my name on the thing.- Shut up.

0:42:54 > 0:42:56- I love you.- I missed you so much. - I thought you weren't going to

0:42:56 > 0:42:59- come back.- Oh, I can't believe how cunty you was in court to me.

0:42:59 > 0:43:00- I am sorry.- Nasty as fuck.

0:43:00 > 0:43:02Well, I did write you a really nice letter.

0:43:02 > 0:43:04Oh, you'd rather have that, would you?

0:43:04 > 0:43:06You can't film now, cos he's got a boner.

0:43:06 > 0:43:10Guess who came here this morning to wake me up. Mark and that.

0:43:10 > 0:43:12I thought they were taking me for a while.

0:43:12 > 0:43:14I spent all day. I sorted out my benefits.

0:43:14 > 0:43:16- I got paid today already.- Yeah.

0:43:16 > 0:43:18I sorted out us two places to go and visit.

0:43:18 > 0:43:20Guess who's taking us? Richard from the council.

0:43:20 > 0:43:21And sorting out the money to pay for it.

0:43:21 > 0:43:24I spent all day from nine o'clock this morning till now.

0:43:24 > 0:43:26- You look nice.- I don't.

0:43:26 > 0:43:28- I'm all sweaty.- They brought me £100 worth of clothes.

0:43:28 > 0:43:32- I've got a phone with £30 worth of credit on it. Everything.- Well done.

0:44:13 > 0:44:14INAUDIBLE

0:44:21 > 0:44:22SHE SOBS

0:44:22 > 0:44:24- Come here.- Oh, God.- Come here.

0:44:24 > 0:44:27- What's wrong with me?- You're just upset because you've had so much...

0:44:27 > 0:44:31You've had so much bad stuff happen for years and you

0:44:31 > 0:44:33ain't let none of it out.

0:44:33 > 0:44:35SHE SOBS

0:44:35 > 0:44:37I've told you before, you bottle everything up.

0:44:37 > 0:44:39You should know from me, it made me go nuts.

0:44:39 > 0:44:41- You know what I mean? - I worry, though.

0:44:41 > 0:44:44I'm so scared they're going to do something bad to me.

0:44:44 > 0:44:49- I'm not going to let them.- I'm scared, baby. I'm scared.- Don't.

0:44:49 > 0:44:51Everything's going to be fine.

0:44:54 > 0:44:55For a start, we need to get out of here,

0:44:55 > 0:44:57because I'm not coming in here any more.

0:44:57 > 0:44:59- No.- We're going to sort it right out.

0:44:59 > 0:45:03- Yeah?- Please don't let me down, please.

0:45:03 > 0:45:08- I won't, darling. Promise you. - Please.- I promise you.

0:45:09 > 0:45:12Look how shit everything's been, and we've still been fine together,

0:45:12 > 0:45:13haven't we? Do you know what I mean?

0:45:13 > 0:45:16We've always got each other and we've both got scripts.

0:45:16 > 0:45:17We're going to get a house, yeah?

0:45:17 > 0:45:20We're going to stop living in fucking car parks.

0:45:24 > 0:45:26INDISTINCT

0:45:30 > 0:45:32SHE SOBS

0:45:51 > 0:45:53There's definitely two of them.

0:45:53 > 0:45:55- Yeah.- Which we don't recognise.

0:45:55 > 0:45:57Not like these two. These are described.

0:45:57 > 0:46:00But the fourth one, hasn't been described

0:46:00 > 0:46:03- but we know who he is...- We do. - ..and he's definitely with him.

0:46:07 > 0:46:10Then you've got them coming out on level eight out of the lift.

0:46:15 > 0:46:17That's just a member of the public, that is.

0:46:17 > 0:46:20That member of the public must have been thinking,

0:46:20 > 0:46:21I bet they don't have a car parked up here.

0:46:21 > 0:46:24This one's interesting. You get them coming out of the lift along here.

0:46:24 > 0:46:26You watch what he does. Look.

0:46:26 > 0:46:28They're creeping around.

0:46:28 > 0:46:30Definitely... Looking up and down.

0:46:34 > 0:46:36Definitely looking for him, yeah.

0:46:37 > 0:46:40This is a stairwell that he's kipping in and that's the other

0:46:40 > 0:46:42side, so he's going to go check that one.

0:46:44 > 0:46:46So they've come out of that stairwell.

0:46:46 > 0:46:48They've come out of the lift.

0:46:48 > 0:46:51So the one in the blue's obviously, check this one,

0:46:51 > 0:46:54here he is, look, calling them back across. He's found him.

0:47:00 > 0:47:02PHONE RINGS

0:47:02 > 0:47:03- ON PHONE:- Ambulance Services. Hello?

0:47:03 > 0:47:05Hello.

0:47:12 > 0:47:15- ON PHONE:- My boyfriend was really seriously attacked by three guys.

0:47:18 > 0:47:20He's now going in and out of consciousness.

0:47:20 > 0:47:24He's like really, really pale and he like poos out loads of blood.

0:47:24 > 0:47:30- Do you mean coughing or vomiting? - Pooing, like from his bottom.

0:47:32 > 0:47:33OK, and are you with him now?

0:47:33 > 0:47:36I've just had to ask these people to use the phone because

0:47:36 > 0:47:40we were mugged and assaulted and they took my mobile and everything.

0:47:41 > 0:47:42Were weapons involved or mentioned?

0:47:44 > 0:47:48No, they hit him with floor boards in a spot on his head,

0:47:48 > 0:47:50like loads of times.

0:47:50 > 0:47:53Is there any serious bleeding?

0:47:53 > 0:47:57Not on the outside now, but I think on the inside.

0:47:59 > 0:48:01OK, I'm organising help for you now.

0:48:01 > 0:48:04Stay on the line and I'll tell you exactly what to do next.

0:48:14 > 0:48:16Basically, if Jo hadn't called the ambulance for him...

0:48:16 > 0:48:18- He would have bled out. - He probably would have just...

0:48:18 > 0:48:20He would have bled out there and then.

0:48:20 > 0:48:22- Yeah.- So, yeah, he was quite lucky that she did come back.

0:48:22 > 0:48:24That will be one time that he'll be thankful that she was

0:48:24 > 0:48:26breaching her injunction.

0:48:26 > 0:48:28- Yeah. Definitely.- But, yeah.

0:48:29 > 0:48:32He'll have upset somebody. It'll be a drug debt and it will be,

0:48:32 > 0:48:34"You owe us this, so we're giving you a kicking

0:48:34 > 0:48:36"and we're having your phone as well."

0:48:37 > 0:48:38And that'll be the mobile phone.

0:48:38 > 0:48:41- Yeah, yeah.- That's why you couldn't get hold of them for the appointment

0:48:41 > 0:48:42she made to view the flat with you.

0:48:42 > 0:48:46- Yeah.- He obviously knows who they are, but he's not coughing.

0:48:46 > 0:48:48- No.- And he's not willing to pursue any complaint whatsoever so it's not

0:48:48 > 0:48:52- going to go anywhere.- No. He's going to make it a lot worse for himself,

0:48:52 > 0:48:54isn't he? He's going to get a lot worse, I suppose.

0:48:54 > 0:48:57Imagine taking your...? Going down there with your little one

0:48:57 > 0:49:00and he's having the living crap kicked out of him.

0:49:00 > 0:49:04- Yeah.- So, it just re-emphasises why we can't have this drug taking in

0:49:04 > 0:49:06car parks or begging.

0:49:06 > 0:49:09And now he's in hospital, Jo's going to be on her own, isn't she?

0:49:09 > 0:49:11She's on her own, basically, isn't she?

0:49:11 > 0:49:14Not sure where she is. Last seen on the centre.

0:49:14 > 0:49:16I don't think she even went for the script appointment.

0:49:21 > 0:49:23Are you here tomorrow?

0:49:23 > 0:49:25- Yeah.- I've got a spare duvet at home.

0:49:25 > 0:49:27- Oh, thanks. - I'll bring it in tomorrow.

0:49:27 > 0:49:31That would be brilliant. Thank you, my lovely.

0:49:31 > 0:49:33Anything like that spare, that you have.

0:49:33 > 0:49:36Or if you've got any food you don't want, anything.

0:49:36 > 0:49:38Because I've got nothing now.

0:49:38 > 0:49:39I'll get you the spare duvet.

0:49:39 > 0:49:41I don't use it. It's just lying behind the sofa.

0:49:41 > 0:49:42INDISTINCT

0:49:42 > 0:49:44All right, I'll see you tomorrow. I'll bring it in.

0:49:44 > 0:49:47Oh, thank you, sweetheart. Thank you so much. Take care.

0:49:47 > 0:49:49- See you later.- See you later. - Thank you.

0:50:37 > 0:50:41We've just learned that Richard has discharged himself from hospital

0:50:41 > 0:50:42after his assault.

0:50:43 > 0:50:46I think Jolene's got a part of it.

0:50:46 > 0:50:47He doesn't like to leave her on her own.

0:50:47 > 0:50:50And we've learned his back in the car park sleeping rough,

0:50:50 > 0:50:53which isn't going to do him any good whatsoever.

0:50:53 > 0:50:55The warrant at last has come through.

0:50:55 > 0:50:57- OK.- For both of them.

0:50:59 > 0:51:03Some people might find it hard to understand, but, you know,

0:51:03 > 0:51:07you give them that break of putting them away in prison for a few weeks,

0:51:07 > 0:51:09they just need something to break that cycle.

0:51:12 > 0:51:16So he's got a minimum two weeks he's going to be gone for.

0:51:16 > 0:51:18Plus hopefully, he'll get a couple of weeks extra.

0:51:20 > 0:51:23I would say he's definitely going to be better off in prison,

0:51:23 > 0:51:25cos he'll be probably on the hospital wing,

0:51:25 > 0:51:27still receiving that treatment that he needs.

0:51:27 > 0:51:31She's already done a two-week sentence so she should be

0:51:31 > 0:51:34looking at another. Let's hope we get a decent judge.

0:51:34 > 0:51:35Yeah.

0:51:35 > 0:51:39Well, I don't think prison's a good place for anyone,

0:51:39 > 0:51:41but what else can we do?

0:51:43 > 0:51:46It worries me, because when they're in prison,

0:51:46 > 0:51:49what's going to be the accommodation plan?

0:51:49 > 0:51:51I don't think there's going to be any, is there?

0:51:51 > 0:51:53Unless they get fed up and they leave Bristol.

0:51:53 > 0:51:56- Yeah.- That's their only option they've got at the moment.- Mm-hm.

0:51:56 > 0:51:58HE COUGHS

0:52:01 > 0:52:04Let's go and see if there is a van and then we'll go and find

0:52:04 > 0:52:07Paul and we'll go and drag them in.

0:52:12 > 0:52:15- VOICEOVER:- Yeah, I was in a bad way and that.

0:52:15 > 0:52:16I was proper stressed out and that.

0:52:16 > 0:52:19I can't imagine life without her. It would be shit.

0:52:25 > 0:52:28I was doing fine, but next day after she got out of jail,

0:52:28 > 0:52:31I got put in hospital and that. When I came out,

0:52:31 > 0:52:33I couldn't get to my script and back,

0:52:33 > 0:52:35because I was still so fucked up.

0:52:44 > 0:52:46After three days, if you miss it, three days in a row,

0:52:46 > 0:52:48you lose your script, so that's what happened.

0:52:51 > 0:52:55Every time I either start sorting it out or get motivated to sort it out,

0:52:55 > 0:52:58something will happen that just, like, puts it all out of the window,

0:52:58 > 0:53:00so just back to square one.

0:53:05 > 0:53:07INAUDIBLE

0:53:10 > 0:53:14VOICEOVER: I got Jolene on the script first and she was actually

0:53:14 > 0:53:16using it and she said that she was staying clean.

0:53:17 > 0:53:20But she admitted she was finding it very hard

0:53:20 > 0:53:23when Richard was using in front of her.

0:53:23 > 0:53:26Yeah, but whether they should split up, or not...

0:53:26 > 0:53:27No, I don't think they should split up.

0:53:27 > 0:53:30It's not for us to say, is it, really.

0:53:30 > 0:53:32- It's not, no.- It's up to them.

0:53:36 > 0:53:38VOICEOVER: But if they're going to do this,

0:53:38 > 0:53:40they've got to be doing it together,

0:53:40 > 0:53:43not one start it and then another start a couple of weeks later.

0:53:44 > 0:53:46Come on, then, Jo. We'll take you up first.

0:53:49 > 0:53:52- Bye. I love you. See you in a bit.- See you later.

0:53:53 > 0:53:57VOICEOVER: They've both been off of it before, and Jolene was clean for

0:53:57 > 0:53:59five years, and then she's got back on it.

0:54:01 > 0:54:04He's been clean for a while and then he's back on.

0:54:04 > 0:54:07So he said, you know, they know they can do it.

0:54:07 > 0:54:08Yeah.

0:54:09 > 0:54:11OK. Time of arrest?

0:54:12 > 0:54:1318:30.

0:54:14 > 0:54:15And place of arrest?

0:54:15 > 0:54:18Level eight, Trenchard Street car park.

0:54:18 > 0:54:20Third biggest earner in Europe, apparently.

0:54:20 > 0:54:21HE LAUGHS

0:54:21 > 0:54:24Judging by what I've paid to park in there, I can imagine.

0:54:24 > 0:54:26- Yeah.- Right, Jolene.

0:54:26 > 0:54:27Are you working at the moment?

0:54:27 > 0:54:29No. Don't laugh.

0:54:29 > 0:54:30I had to ask.

0:54:31 > 0:54:32Only don't touch my bag.

0:54:32 > 0:54:34- It's got pins in it. - We will have to look through it.

0:54:34 > 0:54:36Yeah, but just be really...

0:54:36 > 0:54:38I don't care if you look through it, but just be really careful.

0:54:38 > 0:54:40- Yeah, it's got a few needles in it. - Yeah, exactly.

0:54:40 > 0:54:42- That's what I mean.- Uncapped ones.

0:54:42 > 0:54:44- Where? Is there? - That one looks like it is.

0:54:44 > 0:54:47- There's no orange top to that. - Oh, no. That's a Biro.

0:54:47 > 0:54:50- It doesn't have a...- OK. - But, yeah. Just be careful.

0:54:50 > 0:54:52Okey dokey.

0:54:59 > 0:55:01Do you have any illnesses or injuries?

0:55:01 > 0:55:03Yeah, I've got an abscess on my arm there.

0:55:03 > 0:55:05- Do you know what caused it? - Probably injecting heroin and crack.

0:55:07 > 0:55:10VOICEOVER: Her health has taken a drastic fall

0:55:10 > 0:55:12since she arrived in Bristol.

0:55:14 > 0:55:16She's going to be looking at open sores.

0:55:20 > 0:55:22She's, what, early 30s?

0:55:24 > 0:55:27Her skin's absolutely terrible and it's all through...

0:55:27 > 0:55:28Through the drugs.

0:55:32 > 0:55:35- How many needles was it?- 29 in all.

0:55:36 > 0:55:38I can take my books in with me, can't I?

0:55:38 > 0:55:40Yeah. The officer will have to flick through,

0:55:40 > 0:55:41make sure there's nothing in it.

0:55:46 > 0:55:48I'm still a little bit bad.

0:55:48 > 0:55:51I've been in hospital recently and I had to have an operation and that,

0:55:51 > 0:55:53to have some of my spleen taken out.

0:55:53 > 0:55:56- So you had a ruptured spleen, lacerated kidney.- Yeah.

0:55:56 > 0:55:59- Is it all bruised?- Yeah.

0:55:59 > 0:56:02You can't really see nothing outside, just inside, I think.

0:56:02 > 0:56:03Yeah.

0:56:03 > 0:56:05INDISTINCT

0:56:05 > 0:56:08- Didn't have no...- Make sure you get the nurse to have a look at that

0:56:08 > 0:56:10while you're here.

0:56:10 > 0:56:13VOICEOVER: I think Richard has hit rock-bottom.

0:56:14 > 0:56:17You can see he's drastically lost a lot of weight

0:56:17 > 0:56:19and he's really sunken-faced.

0:56:22 > 0:56:25The kicking that he's had in the car park, I think that's shaken him up.

0:56:26 > 0:56:30You know, he's realised that he could've died that night.

0:56:30 > 0:56:33Sometimes that is a kick up the arse that they need to actually start

0:56:33 > 0:56:34moving forward again.

0:56:36 > 0:56:37So where are you injecting?

0:56:37 > 0:56:39I've just lost another bloody tissue down here.

0:56:39 > 0:56:41I was in my... My groin.

0:56:42 > 0:56:46- If you lift your foot for me. - I was, like, bleeding loads,

0:56:46 > 0:56:48cos they had to give me blood thinners in hospital.

0:56:48 > 0:56:50Oh, right, OK.

0:56:50 > 0:56:54VOICEOVER: The hope is that if we can get them a sentence

0:56:54 > 0:56:55that's the same length,

0:56:55 > 0:56:59they will be released together and they'll both hopefully be clean,

0:56:59 > 0:57:02so one won't be using in front of the other.

0:57:09 > 0:57:10See you later.

0:57:18 > 0:57:21TAPPING

0:57:24 > 0:57:27I hate to think about how much money I've spent on drugs.

0:57:28 > 0:57:31I'm telling you now, I could easily have paid for a house outright,

0:57:31 > 0:57:34easily. More like I could probably have bought two or three.

0:57:36 > 0:57:39I mean, for fuck's sake, I could have spent that money on doing

0:57:39 > 0:57:40something good.

0:57:40 > 0:57:41SHOUT FROM ELSEWHERE

0:57:41 > 0:57:43TAPPING
