From the tense waiting room of the police station to the labyrinth of the prison corridors, Jail Bird is an unflinching glimpse into the gritty realities behind bars.
Drawing on years of first-hand experience, the author reveals how indefinite sentences can trap offenders for life, how battered resources lead to catastrophic oversights, and how easily truth can be derailed by sensational headlines. Along the way, you'll meet those who have no voice-individuals serving time in overcrowded cells, struggling to be heard in a system that often regards them as lost causes.
Yet this book also offers hope, illuminating key reforms and dedicated campaigners working behind the scenes to change lives. Poignant and eye-opening, Jail Bird challenges everything you thought you knew about crime and punishment in Britain, urging us to confront the human cost of locking people away. Will we choose to see every prisoner as more than just a mere statistic?
