2:47 Rider Online took a look at the type of jail cell Andrew spent his birthday inn. According to former offices, custody conditions are strictly uniform. The cell would have contained a narrow bench with thin vinyl covered mattress, a stainless steel toilet partially screened by a half partition, and constant CCTV monitoring. Belts and shoelaces are routinely removed. Mules typically consist of reheated ready food and tea in a plastic cup. Rank Wealth and background count for nothing. Once that cell door closes. One former detective said there would have been no acknowledgment of his birthday, no cake, no card, no concessions. Once the doors shut.
