The Honourable Mr Justice Stephen Rawley
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Honourable Mr Justice Stephen Rawley, played by Maurice Denham, is featured in two episodes of the television series Porridge: 'Poetic Justice' and 'Rough Justice'. He had been charged with fraud and was waiting for his appeal to come through.
He is revealed to be a friend of the Governor of the prison and is informed that he will have to share a cell with Norman Stanley Fletcher and Lennie Godber.
As the first plot unfolds it we discover that Stephen Rawley was responsible for sending Fletcher into the prison into the first place as he was the judge at Fletcher's trial.
Fletcher observes "When a judge sentences you to five years, you don't expect 'im to move in with you, do you ?"
Rawley is given a "cushy" job in the prison whilst Harris is made to look after the pigs on the prison farm.
It is eventually revealed that Rawley's appeal has come through and he leaves the prison a free man after the 'Rough Justice' episode.
