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

No-Mind
My trick to surviving, to remaining just this side of sanity, is to refuse to look more than a few moments ahead. This way, I hope to avoid any angst that may arise if I accidentally lift my eyes from my mop and broom and see an unknown number of prison days ahead of me. I'm trying, hard, to just "switch off", if only for a while.
