A Bit Of A Stretch by Chris Atkins

challenging dark emotional informative reflective sad tense medium-paced

4.5


A very insightful, brutally honest account of the UK prison system and the following living environment. Raw, personal and valuable account of the effects of continued isolation and lack of access to both rehabilitation and education. Showing how the disadvantaged are fail once again when incarcerated.

I am glad the author references and is aware of his own comparable priveledge and  experience due to race and class. 
He can come across as a bit unlikable at the start, but given context and self awareness shown through out you grow to really invest in him, his friends and family.
