That would be great

Quick question.... Is there an option for remote working? (I live in Scotland)

Thanks Joe. I decided to put the whole blog online recently, and hope to develop the survival guide more, in time. I have to pace it to avoid retraumatising myself, but I would like to help others to cope with prison. If any suggestions come to mind I'd love to hear from you.

As a former inmate, your statement is very powerful and moving. My experience of prison wardens was that many enjoyed degrading prisoners to make themselves feel more powerful.... But there were others who made a real effort to be respectful and helpful.

In some Scandinavian countries, Prison Officers need a specialist degree. In the UK they have virtually no training. In the prison where I was incarcerated the workers didn't even have really basic training such as Mental Health First Aid. The way some of them treated prisoners was disgusting.

As a former prisoner, I'm so grateful that you're covering this important issue of sentence inflation

Cheers man. If you have any suggestions to make more useful to the people you represent, just let me know. The are some pretty harrowing descriptions in my blog, but I found I was able to have a productive time in prison. I kept away from trouble, whilst keeping myself open to human connection.

As a former prisoner, it's great to see that this work is going on. Thank you!

Having spent time in a UK prison, this statistic doesn't surprise me at all.
