Moved regularly around the prisons of the British Isles, the author has sampled all that prison life has to offer, taking in both the historic and pre-historic buildings that comprise Britain's infamous prison system. This is a guide for young offenders and 'old lags' alike.

With 24 years of experience of prison dwelling condensed it into one handy and comprehensive volume, this guide shows readers everything from the correct way to brew vintage prison 'hooch' and how to keep the guards from finding it, to the indispensable culinary methods required to make prison food edible. The author even shows how to go about getting married in what is otherwise a quite unromantic setting.
