'Compelling, urgent and devastating. A triumph' The Secret
Barrister 'Funny, heart-breaking and utterly authentic' Dr Amanda
Brown, author of THE PRISON DOCTOR 'A breath-taking account of the
UK's crumbling prison system. Every politician and decision-maker
involved in our prisons should be placed on 23-hour lockdown and
made to read this book' Nick Pettigrew, author of ANTI-SOCIAL "I
was what the older generation of prison officers called a 'care
bear'. It was my job to work with the prisoners most in danger of
falling through the cracks and, if not deliver them safely to the
community upon release, fully rehabilitated, then at least stop
them from killing themselves or anyone else..." Come with Angela
Kirwin for a journey inside prison like no other. For over a decade
she was a social care worker in some of Britain's most notorious
prisons. Now she wants to tell the stories of the men she met,
because she believes that prison is failing everyone, damaging the
most vulnerable people in our societies, creating habitual
criminals, leaving us all less safe and contributing to a society
that is immeasurably less humane. Every year, we spend billions of
pounds on a system that fundamentally doesn't work. Rather than a
separate world full of people that aren't like us, prison is where
the most damaged and vulnerable people in our society end up and we
all need to urgently care about that, so we can change it. Because
the state of our prisons is criminal.
