Summary

Neil 'Sam' Samworth worked as a prison officer for twelve years, many of them in HMP Manchester, more commonly known as Strangeways. It's bad enough for the staff - but what is it really like to be banged up in a category A prison with some of the country's most dangerous offenders? In this shocking page-turner, Sam tracks down some of Strangeways' 'ex customers' and recounts their experiences in gripping detail. This book is full of shocking, darkly funny, insightful stories. Sam has a sympathetic but clear-eyed take on events. He knows the prisoners are not angels, but he also knows that the prison service fails them.
