Jail Journeys: The English Prison Experience 1918-1990 by Philip Priestly PDF
Jail Journeys is a contemporary history of the English prison system in the words of those who endured it as prisoners or who had worked within it. More than 1000 extracts from more than 150 first hand accounts of life inside chronicle the empty routines of the prison day and tell of the loneliness, the despair, the squalor, the fights, the friendships, the sex, the humour.
There are also eye witness accounts of the Dartmoor Mutiny, of hangings and floggings, of escapes, and personal statements by the well known, James Phelan, Wilfred Macartney, Albert Pierrepoint, Charles Kray, John McVicar, Jimmy Boyle, Alfie Hinds, Lord Alfred Douglas, and by many others less well known.
These testimonies, by turn dramatic, literate and naïve, add up to an implicit sociology of the twentieth century English prison, depicting a divided social structure with screws on one side and cons on the other.
