Screwed by Ronnie Thompson
What really goes on behind bars - the truth about life as a prison officer
Thompson is honest about the officers' boozy, sometimes meat-headed, after-work excesses but is quick to defend their reputation.. Anyone who deals with drug-dealers throwing boiling kettles of bleach over each other, has to stop a riot or tries to save a prisoner's life by holding closed a gaping hole in his neck he made while slitting his own throat, is clearly doing a very tough job. Screwed" is a sympathetic and eye-opening account of life behind bars. -- London Lite 20080129 'Uncompromisingly forthright... his views cannot be ignored... Of the utmost importance to anyone who wants to really understand what life is like at penal ground zero' -- The Times 20080223 'Hard hitting and absorbing' -- The Herald (Glasgow) 20080105
Ronnie Thompson is a 28-year-old prison officer. He's seen more corruption and violence in his 7 years in the service than most people see in a lifetime. He lives with his girlfriend and their son.
