In 1970 Tony Parker was permitted by the Home Office to make a
series of visits to HMP Grendon Underwood, the UK's first
psychiatric prison, there to interview inmates and staff for a
study of the institution and its unique community. 'Tony Parker
deserves a place in any future history of literature for his
contribution to the creative use of the tape-recorder... We can
only guess at the qualities of patience and perceptiveness which
have enabled Mr Parker to make of his material one of the most
important studies ever to have been published of the habitual
criminal.' TLS 'The reader will find himself as deeply involved
with his characters as Mr Parker is himself.' Spectator
