Summary

What led a glamorous radio presenter, Sharon Grenham-Thompson, to get involved with working with some of the most despised in society - prisoners?

Jail Bird Summary

Jail Bird: The inside story of the Glam Vicar by Sharon Grenham-Thompson

Written with passion and understanding, Jail Bird explores how it is possible to reach out to those vilified in the press and by society at large, and to work for the good of all, recognising the humanity in those who commit crimes. Sharon Grenham-Thompson is an Anglican minister and former prison chaplain at Bedford Jail in the UK, where she was responsible for running a large multi-faith team. Jailbird explores her motivation to help those who are the least in society. Totally gripping and extremely personal, this fluid biography comes gushing down the mountain like a raging floodwater. I literally couldn't put it down. In fact I read the whole thing in one session. Chris Evans - BBC Radio 2 Presenter
