Author talk: Prison - A Survival Guide by Carl Cattermole

Join Carl Cattermole as he takes us through his book ‘Prison: A Survival Guide’ - the cult guide to UK prisons. Male, female, LGBTQ+ and child prisoners give advice on how to best cope with the prison system and it's impenetrable combo of impossible bureaucracy, chaotic emotions, violence and institutionalisation. It's a trojan horse of a book that leads readers to understand the dysfunction of imprisonment. This book fills the info-void about jails that is currently occupied by tabloid journalists, Hollywood scriptwriters and rehabilitation/punishment obsessed politicians. (It’s also very funny)

Carl Cattermole is a 7ft tall repeat offender, ex-prisoner in multiple countries and award winning journalist. This will be unmissable!
