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

"What are you listening to?" I handed over the headphones. Pink Floyd, Wish You Were Here.
He sounds like a complete idiot. Many if not most young people know a bit about old peoples music, can't believe this guy didn't recognise Pink Floyd as such. Most young people would have. It was probably some weird way of him trying to impress or suck up to you Ben.
Brilliant post, made me smile.
