Tales From The Jails episodes
- Episode 14 - Ringside For The Action
As a result of this morning's stabbings and slashings, the inmates are armed to the teeth with blades to protect themselves. Life in here is as fantastical as it is scary.
During the three and a half years I was in prison I wrote over a million words by hand. Tales From The Jails is a contemporaneous account of my life, and attempts to thrive rather than merely survive, whilst incarcerated.
Most names have been changed. The events have not.
This is a Jekyll & Pride production.
Producer: Trevessa Newton
Title Music taken from The Confession, on the album Crimes Against Poetry (written and performed by The Shadow Poet, produced by Lance Thomas)

The clock ticks slowly, taunting like a hangman's noose waiting for an occupant. Nobody wants to hear the wrong result.

Long days turn into short fuses as hope turns to desperation. Bravado dissipates until there is only fear exposed.

Our new home for the foreseeable future is a graffiti hovel that looks like it has not been cleaned for years, but worse ,the horror that struck me in the pit of my stomach, is the absence of a toilet door.

Three weeks into prison and I can honestly say, it is a cruel, hard, violent place, that is heartbreakingly tragic at times.
