A jaw-dropping account of life as a prison officer in one of the country's most notorious jails. Neil ‘Sam’ Samworth spent 11 years working as a prison officer in HMP Manchester, aka Strangeways. A tough Yorkshireman with a soft heart, Sam had to deal with it all - gangsters and gangbangers, terrorists and psychopaths, addicts and the mentally ill. Men who should not be locked up and men who should never be let out. Strangeways is a shocking and at times darkly funny account of life in a high-security prison.

Summary
After Shaun Attwood arrived in the Arizona Department of Corrections, his challenges multiplied. His cellmate threatened to cave in Shaun’s skull with a padlock in a sock. A naked neighbour dragged him into a cell for sex. Before a visit with his parents, he was attacked by a drug-crazed biker.
Forced to adapt or perish, Shaun made alliances with powerful prisoners, including T-Bone a massive ex-Marine who risked his life saving inmates from rape, and Two Tonys, an old-school Mafia murderer who left the corpses of his rivals from Tucson to Alaska. They showed Shaun how to transcend incarceration and to learn from his mistakes.

A great end to the trilogy
this is the first of the tree I've listened to that is narrated by Shaun himself and it definitely adds a new dimension to the story. the one thing that took me out of the immersion of the story in the previous two was having an American man narrate a story told by and Englishman, with the sentence structures, slang and dialect kept in place, made for some clunky moments, but having Shaun tell it absolutely ideal, hearing emotion change in the read means something, these moments happened to the person speaking. buy this book, listen to them all!!

narrator's voice irritating
I read the first 2 books , when listening on audible I prefer the actual writer to narrate as it gives it more authenticity but to be honest his accent got annoying after a while , he reads ultra slow in parts , I actually checked the speed cause I though I must of accidentally slowed it down a touch but no, he really is talking that slow , I know a lot of his prison mates loved his accent , I get the impression he loves the sound of his own voice literally. . when he's doing American accents it's even more annoying and when he does those whispery recounts it's out and out weird... classic narcissist In my opinion loves talking about himself. .the next book should be about wild man, a genuine character

What an amazing story. Fantastic. One of them books where I never wanted it to finish. One thing that was a major disappointment was I got used to listening to Randal Schaffer voice on the first book and then looking forward to Prison Time it was just odd listening to Shaun's voice, my personal opinion it messed up the flow. You do get used to listening to Shaun voice.
It was sad to find out Wildman has passed away recently.

I'll always support your efforts, and it's apparent your narration bombed BUT YOU AT LEAST TRIED!! Great stories, just need avid audio book consumers as small focus groups for feedback on submissions or new things you're trying out. good luck and I'll be heading to the journal...FYI, Osama didn't stop me from buying your first book. glad to reconnect!

The writing and story very compelling and raw. If I hadn’t been so entranced in Shaun Atwood’s tale, I would have stopped listening as the narration is absolutely horrendous. But overall good book.

A fascinating insight
Shaun's account of his time in prison is a fascinating insight into a world that most of us will never experience, but one that is potentially one silly mistake away! More than an entertaining "can't put it down" read, but a learning experience as you grow with Shaun on his journey of Self-Discovery, Fitness (Iron Man is a beast), and Yoga to spotlight a few but not to spoil your enjoyment of this scintillating book.
And, finally, let's get T-bone free and take care of his future!
Right, I'm motivated to get some burpees done.

Originally I was only planning on reading Party Time but I have not been able to stop listening since I first started Party Time a week ago! Prison Time will keep you hanging on every word!
