On Prisons - Danny McAllister - Bog

SOMETIMES IN ORDER TO CHANGE THE SYSTEM, YOU NEED TO BECOME IT.

On Prisons tells the stories of the men and women who live behind the walls of our prisons and of the staff who keep them there. Written by Danny McAllister, a former Governor and Director of High Security for prisons in England and Wales, these tales chronicle the thirty years he spent governing gaols and the lives of the prisoners he came to know. The stories are often troubling, desperate and deeply shocking, but even in the depths of despair there is humour and optimism.

An unprecedented account of prison life at home and abroad, from the 1980s to the present day, On Prisons shows that it is possible to keep your humanity behind bars - just.
