[Matthew · Rating 4 out of 5]

A blend of prison memoir and a prison worker's inquiry, filled with interesting personal accounts of the British prison system in the 70s, and prisoner's resistance to it. If I have learned one lesson from this book, it is that taking acid in prison is not a fun experience.
