Ursula Smartt's ground-breaking Grendon Tales lifts the lid on a
highly acclaimed regime that was developed at Grendon Underwood in
Buckinghamshire from the 1960s onwards. Grendon Tales is essential
reading for anyone wishing to understand: What therapy with
offenders consists of; What it can achieve; How Grendon Prison with
its therapeutic communities became a world leader; What drives some
people to commit heinous and unspeakable crimes; How 'prison
democracy' works; Why Grendon is 'the last chance saloon'; Why some
prisoners struggle to 'get into' Grendon whilst others avoid the
place; The impact on prisoners when they first arrive at Grendon;
What happens during their time there; The pressures they face on
their return to the mainstream prison system; The approach in
relation to different types of offenders (including sex offenders);
The effect on prisoners' lives and relationships; The aims and
mission of the those who work at Grendon; and Moves to replicate
its success. Direct, raw, perceptive and at times shocking, Ursula
Smartt's work gives a unique insight into a world famous prison.
Based on unparalleled access to HMP Grendon and direct
conversations with high-risk offenders, governors, prison officers,
probation officers, psychologists and other prison staff as well as
her own observations of the prison's day-to-day routines over 12
months, the book provides a modern-day account of the challenging
environment that Tony Parker, writing in the 1970s, described as
'The Frying Pan'. A unique work from a criminologist whose
researches have taken her to prisons across the UK and in other
places, including Europe, the USA and India. Her words and
penetrating insights repay close study and give cause for
reflection about why such methods have not been embraced more
widely by a Criminal Justice System whose key aims include crime
prevention, crime reduction and ensuring public safety. Reviews 'As
readable as a novel...I could not put it down until finished': The
Magistrate 'A breathless personal slide through her year talking to
some of the country's most difficult prisoners': Frances Crook,
Community Care. 'The book is both comprehensive and
thourough...This is not a book to engage with lightly, or to browse
through. It needs to be read completely, with a degree of
commitment, for it is, ultimately, encouraging and optimistic...I
can firmly endorse Ursula Smartt's work': John Broughton, It's
Wandsworth.
