A WOMAN who was jailed for stealing £20,000 from an old man with Alzheimer's has revealed just what it was like in prison. Jodie was put behind bars after nicking the cash from the bank she worked in to fund her gambling problem. But she insisted she didn't know that the account she was taking it from belonged to an "an elderly gentleman who has Alzheimer's".

"I didn't know that until I was arrested," she said in a video on her TikTok page. However, she also added: "Would it have changed me doing it? I don't know. I was desperate.". In another video, Jodie opened up about life in Peterborough prison, as she went through a typical day, which began at 7am when they were woken up, before breakfast.

Medication is up next, followed by exercise, when they were given "10 minutes to walk around a 4x4 courtyard". "This is also a good time to catch up any prison gossip that you may have missed, or anything you want to know," she added. Then everyone starts to prepare for "movement".

"Movement is when the whole prison move around at once," she continued. "Everyone will gather at the gate and you will then go to either education or your job if you have a job. "Or healthcare if you have an appointment at the doctor's or something like that.

"You wait at the gate and then they will radio down and say they're ready for movement. "You will all congregate into one area. There will be doors that are locked behind you. "Everyone is in one place at one time. The door is then unlocked and you move all together.
