​I heard Chris give a talk about her career and just had to buy the book to read more. A fairly short book but full of entertaining stories and some insightful comments about the system.
 
Well written and I learned things that I did not know. Humanist approach and funny in places.

         I liked this book – true stories but very light hearted. Interesting.

Very entertaining stories from one of the first Lady Prison Govs! Have passed on to a good friend whose niece is training to be a prison officer, might give her a few pointers!!

          Marvellous! Amusing, sad, enlightening and thought provoking. Chris Duffin’s highly intelligent voice comes through loud and clear. She makes us hoot with laughter, while painting a vivid picture of the decline of our prison system, and the toll on the decent people like her, who tried to do their best while fighting short-sighted politicians. Bravo!
