Description

A Bit of a Stretch: The Diaries of a Prisoner by Chris Atkins Chris Atkins' life took an unexpected turn when he found himself incarcerated for five years. HMP Wandsworth, one of the largest and most dysfunctional prisons in Europe, became his new home. In this powerful memoir, Atkins recounts his experiences with a cast of characters that range from wily drug dealers to senior officials, revealing the harsh realities behind the locked gates. With a unique blend of dark humour and shocking stories, Atkins sheds light on the problems plaguing the UK's prison system. His account is a thought-provoking exploration of the human cost of a system that often fails its most vulnerable citizens. A candid and unflinching look at life inside a British prison, A Bit of a Stretch is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the complexities of the justice system.
