A prisoner has used an illegal mobile phone to give an insight into what life is really like behind bars.
Crack cocaine kingpin Darren McCash posted daily updates on Facebook about assaults and drug use in prison.
The 32-year-old also posted a number of selfies - or cellfies, if you want - before the Sunday Mirror tipped off authorities about his updates.

Last month alone, the prisoner posted seven videos in total, and took a picture while he was building a joint. The caption read: "Yea yea it's one of them nights."
On March 1, McCash posted a short clip of an inmate being stripped and humiliated while apparently high on Spice, a legal high that is wreaking havoc across UK prisons.
Just a few days after that, he also posted a video of an inmate being punched because of a drug debt.

Another video showed an inmate being beaten and bullied while his hands were tied.
On March 20, there was a video posted showing another prisoner being attacked while also high on Spice.
The caption read:
"Someone had too much basmati."

If you were wondering, basmati is rhyming slang for the drug.
The convicted criminal also posted a number of selfies from the inside, and the fact that McCash is in prison clearly didn't put off some women.
One commented: "Wow, loving the new look."

Another wrote: "Fit!!!! X".
Prison Officers chief Mr Gillan has criticised the Ministry of Justice for the staff cuts that have made it easier for prisoners to sneak in phones.
The Mirror reported him saying:
"Prison officers are extremely stretched. We don't have the resources to continue to keep searching and finding these mobile phones because of the cuts by this Government, there just aren't enough prison officers."

Shadow prisons minister Jo Stevens also had her say on the matter: "Illicit phone usage in prisons is something to which successive Tory justice secretaries have turned a blind eye, making a mockery of the penal system and victims of crime.
"Alongside record levels of violence and drug and alcohol finds, our prison system is at breaking point."
McCash and his drug-dealing crew were jailed for a total of 46 years in June of last year.
Something tells me he might be in a bit of trouble for this.
