In Memoirs of Her Majesty's Prison Doctor, the author takes us behind the walls and bars of some of the UK's toughest prisons, where he encountered challenging conditions for inmates and staff, and came across some of the country's most hardened and desperate inmates. Based on his experiences of over a decade working in the UK prison system, visiting more than 40 prisons around the country, this memoir offers a deeply personal insight, telling the individual stories of those for whom prison has become home. At the same time, he provides a broader reflection on the state of our prisons today and how, they might look in the future. By telling his own story, the author again changes our perceptions and challenges our assumptions
