Prisons, a community within a community. Violence is everywhere, the smell of fear is around every corner, you need, no must have eyes in the back of your head.
No time to relax, no time to sit back with a brew and put your feet up, the Prison won’t let you.
Ever wondered what goes on behind those Prison walls? What really goes on behind those big unforgiving gates?
Ray Deveroux worked within the Prison walls for nearly 25 years, the violence, self-harm, suicides, bullying, taxing, rapes, sadness, hopelessness and yes, now and again the humour.
Ray tells the story of his own experiences, in his own words, some of it is upsetting to read, some of it will shock you.
The story will take you through his own early stages of joining the Prison service to the day Ray hangs his keys up for good.
The book is a must should you wish to join up as an Officer, Probation officer, want to work in a prison in any capacity or if you are curious of what Prison life is really like.
