Insights into the world of a Prison Doctor, this time taking us deeper into the walls of Bronzefield, the UK’s biggest women’s prison.
From the drug addicts who call Amanda ‘the mother I never had’ to the women who’ve pushed back at domestic abuse, to women close to release in their 70s, who just want to stay in the place that they’ve always known, these are stories that are heartbreaking, harrowing and heart-warming. Amanda listens, prescribes, and does what she can. After all, she’s their doctor.
My Thoughts:
I have really enjoyed reading all of DR Amanda’s book where she tells us true stories about all the different prisons she has worked in. It is a fascinating and eye opening world where very little of us know what goes on behind the scenes at a prison. This book is centred around the biggest female only prison and some of the stories really got to me, I think what got me with this book is that so many people will judge without having heard the story but when they understand the ins and outs first they will understand. This story really took over all my emotions and I felt exhausted after reading it but it is well worth the read.
