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

Credit is usually given to the poor to keep them poor; and given to the rich to help them invest.
ReplyDeleteBanks squeeze the 'lemons' and stroke the 'plums'. Business is business.
