There are professions that are not usually discussed, and this book is about one of them. Its author, Neil Samworth, worked for more than ten years as an officer in a British maximum security prison. How did an ordinary guy from a disadvantaged area, who worked either in a factory or as a bouncer in a bar, end up in this gloomy Victorian building, more like a labyrinth and filled with notorious criminals? In his book, Big Sam - as his colleagues and prisoners called him - without embellishing the story or smoothing over the rough edges, he spoke about what happened in the places where he happened to serve as a jailer. The customs that reigned there, the relationship between guards and prisoners, everyday life and holidays, the internal structure 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 overcome the inhumanity that has already become a habit for such a place?
