Through the Eyes of a Guard. Inside the World's Harshest Prison

The book “Big Sam” tells about a profession that people usually don’t talk about. The author, Neil Samworth, spent more than ten years in a strict-regime prison as a prison officer. He shares his work experience in this grim and dangerous environment without embellishing the stories. The book describes prison morals, relationships between guards and inmates, daily life behind bars, problems with alcohol and drugs, and attempts to change the brutal order of this place.
