Neil Samworth worked as a prison officer between 2005 and 2016, when he left the service after being diagnosed with PTSD.
A fascinating insight into the workings of a prison and the effects that staffing cuts have had on those trying to maintain order . . . a frequently shocking read. * Daily Express * Neil Samworth's story is authentic, tough, horrifying in some places and hilarious in others. It captivates the reader because the author's honesty and decency shine through as he tells it like it is on the daily roller coaster ride of prison life in Strangeways. An enthralling, exciting but disturbing book. * Jonathan Aitken *
