Jail Journeys - The English Prison Experience Since 1918

First published in 1989, this title presents the English prison system in the words of those who had endured it as prisoners or who had worked within it. First-hand accounts of life 'inside' chronicle the empty routines of the prison day and tell of the loneliness, the despair, the squalor, the fights, the friendships, the sex, the humour.
