Product Information

SUNDAY TIMES TOP TEN BESTSELLER As seen on BBC Breakfast Horrifying, heartbreaking and eye-opening, these are the stories, the patients and the cases that have characterised a career spent being a doctor behind bars. Violence. Drugs. Suicide. Welcome to the world of a Prison Doctor. Dr Amanda Brown has treated inmates in the UK's most infamous prisons - first in young offenders' institutions, then at the notorious Wormwood Scrubs and finally at Europe's largest women-only prison in Europe, Bronzefield. From miraculous pregnancies to dirty protests, and from violent attacks on prisoners to heartbreaking acts of self-harm, she has witnessed it all. In this eye-opening, inspirational memoir, Amanda reveals the stories, the patients and the cases that have shaped a career helping those most of us would rather forget. Despite their crimes, she is still their doctor.

  • Great read!!

    Once I started reading this book I couldn’t put it down. The everyday job of a prison doctor and her dedication to help people without judgement makes good reading, and a real insight to what goes on behind prison walls.

  • Compelling reading.

    Great book showing her compassion and understanding that not all if her patients problems were physical. Some of the book made me want to cry, some of the kindness in adversity really renewed my hope for humankind. I couldn't put it down once I started reading it.
