The first blog by a British prisoner. Variously described as being "obviously extremely intelligent" (Michael Gove), "the most interesting interview I have ever done" (Michael Portillo), and a "fully paid up member of the awkward squad" (Parole Board), I try to generate debate around the moral and political nexus that is imprisonment. Imprisoned between ages 14 to 47, released on Licence in August 2012

You Never Know
I have never met a fellow prisoner who has a chair that has its back to the door, or who sleeps in any other position than with his head furthest from the door.
I'm not saying we don't trust each other. But every advantage helps.
I think that's a very deeply rooted evolutionary trait in all of us. Maybe it's stronger in prisons, but I suspect you'd find the same thing if you polled university halls of residence.
