There are professions that are not customary to talk about, and this book is about one of them. Its author, Neil Samworth, worked for more than ten years by a prison officer in Strandzhweis - a British strict regime prison. How is an ordinary guy from a non -prosperous district who worked at the factory or a bouncer in the bar found himself in this gloomy Victorian building, more reminiscent of a maze and full of incorporated criminals? In his book "Big Sam", his colleagues and prisoners called him, without embellishing stories and not smoothing sharp corners, talked about what was happening in places where he had a chance to serve as a jerk. The morals that reigned in Strandzhweis, relations between prison warders and prisoners, everyday life and holidays, a hierarchy of prisoners, the internal structure of the prison and the duties of employees, alcohol and drugs, riot and fire in cameras. Is it possible to change something in this gloomy way, is it possible to defeat inhumanity, which has already become a habit for such a place?
“We must follow the children and educate them. When adolescents enter the criminal life, everything is already lost. Some become inveterate criminals, and the cycle is repeated, ”Nile Samworth repeatedly returns to this thought on the pages of his book.
Over the ten years of working as an overseer in Strange, a British strict regime prison, he watched various criminals, became a witness to the mass of incidents that took place within the walls of this prison, and received a gloomy experience that changed it.
In Strange, this, more like a maze by a gray building, Neil Samworth saw how the life of prisoners is arranged and what leads their behavior, what unspoken rules reign in prison, how the warders are preparing to work with prisoners
