Summary

Drugs. Riots. Shanks. Dirty protests. Violent Freemason guards. Self-mutilation and suicides. Welcome to the brutal truth about life as a prison officer.

With a career spanning 10 years inside the walls of Britain's most infamous prisons–Manchester’s Strangeways and London’s Wormwood Scrubs–John Sutton has experienced it all. Attacked by an insane killer known as the Soho Vampire, assaulted by the Cambridge Rapist, threatened by the IRA, beaten, persecuted, and prosecuted by Freemason officers, John Sutton survived to reveal the hard-hitting truth in this jaw-dropping memoir.

If you have ever wondered what a career in the prison service is really like, then this searingly honest account will take you onto the landings housing Britain's most dangerous prisoners. Accompany John as he carries the keys that lock up murderers, rapists, gangsters, paedophiles, terrorists, addicts, and the mentally ill. As well as the ever-present threat from the inmates, John had to endure a conspiracy of violence from his own colleagues who were Freemasons–nothing can be more dangerous in prison than the staff not having your back!

Horrifying, harrowing and humorous, John’s audiobook will take you on an unforgettable journey into a netherworld of drugs, violence, and hostile Freemasons.

not as described

I have read other books about inside prisons prison, warden's prisoners and this one advertises that it is about life inside the prison and all the bad people he met and things like that. but I found it is more about his personal life outside. nothing like the other books and not as interesting.
