A darkly funny, harrowing and heartbreaking look at the reality of
prison life, with first-hand accounts from men who found themselves
on the wrong side of the cell doors. Neil 'Sam' Samworth spent
eleven years as a prison officer at HMP Manchester, better known as
Strangeways. He has seen it all: from notorious criminals,
dangerous gangsters and repeat offenders to those who simply made
the wrong decisions. In this shocking page-turner, he tracks down
former prisoners and staff, and uncovers the inside story of what
life is really like in one of the UK's most infamous high-security
prisons. We'll see a prisoner whose unwanted feud with an inmate
ends in a fight and the loss of his eye, another who is convicted
for theft but leaves addicted to spice, and many who become victims
of the IPP system where they find themselves serving indefinite
sentences for petty crimes. We'll see the dark underworld of the
prison system, where riots can occur at any time, where the worlds
of gangbangers suddenly collide, where class A drugs and
contrabands roam. On the other side, we'll see staff grappling with
a failing prison system, while dealing with an inmate who records
the highest ever psychopath rating and caring fully for men with
mental health issues. In brutally raw and gripping detail,
Strangeways Unlocked gives voice to the people behind the bars and
exposes a prison system that is failing them, providing an
unforgettable account of a life that many can only imagine.
