Reviews for Prison: A Survival Guide

A beautiful, heart-breaking, hopeful, humorous, and insightful analysis of the UK's industrial prison complex. It touches on everything from the deportation of foreign national prisoners, to how to brew vodka in your cell, and looking for a job on release. * The Sociological Review *
