There are some professions that are not commonly talked about, and this book is about one of them. Its author, Neil Samworth, spent more than a decade as a prison officer in Strangeways, a maximum security British prison. How did an ordinary lad from an underprivileged neighborhood who worked in a factory or as a bouncer in a bar end up in this grim Victorian building, more like a maze and packed with hardened criminals? In his book, "Big Sam," as his colleagues and inmates called him, without embellishing the story or smoothing over the sharp edges, described what happened in the places where he served as a jailer. The mores that reigned in Strangeways, the relationship between prison guards and inmates, everyday life and holidays, the hierarchy of prisoners, the internal organization of the prison and the duties of employees, alcohol and drugs, riots and fires in the cells. Is it possible to change something in this gloomy way of life, is it possible to defeat the inhumanity that has already become a habit for such a place?
