Content

Despite a prison population of over 85,000 people (the highest incarceration rate per-capita in Western Europe), most Britons think that prison is either a hell-on-earth where you get robbed, attacked and raped as soon as you get through the door or it's a Butlins for burglars and sex offenders. It is neither. It's time to re-evaluate the prison experience: it's plain sailing in ways people don't think it is and it's terrible in ways you never considered. Carl Cattermole, a 20-something Londoner who served time in some of Britain's most notorious jails, has teamed up with illustrator Banx and Ditto Press to make this not-for-profit, no-nonsense guide to prison. HMP--a survival guide covers it all: how to stay in touch with your loved ones, how to negotiate the prison economy run on tobacco and cans of tuna, how to steer clear of violence, how the prison system encourages you to take heroin and become part of a captive workforce and how to re-integrate yourself with the real world after spending so much time locked up inside your own head"--Page 4 of wrappers
