Written by an ex-prison governor, this book describes how a battle
of wits goes on between the governor and his quarry. This can be
dangerous for the unwary and those more orthodox.Each plots the
downfall of the other and learns as they develop and mature. A
professional reputation is made on the one hand; the ability to
source drugs and weapons and plot escapes, on the other. Prisoners
being allowed to set a violent agenda serve neither the public
interest nor the public purse. We need informers but they are
rarely admired. Nevertheless, this book demonstrates the role
informers have to play in keeping the public safe. No prisoner
rehabilitation can take place whilst the violent minority rule the
roost. Born and brought up in Bradford, an advert for a career in
the prison service caught Phil O'Brien's eye. He applied, was
accepted and in his forty year career he went all round the country
into every type of prison. He retired as a governor working in both
the public and private sectors.
