Behind These Doors: Stories of Strength, Suffering and Survival in Prison

'The men I have worked with and the staff I've worked alongside over the last ten years in prison have taught me strength, compassion, courage and, fundamentally, the need to talk, the need to share and the need to tell these stories. These are the stories of lives lived, lost and taken, behind walls so high we can pretend they hide another world entirely. But at what cost?'

Few people leave prison unchanged. It's a place heavy with suffering, a place where you will find dangerous, vulnerable and forgotten people. But for Alex South, it was a place where she also found hope.

In this powerful and moving memoir, Alex attempts to make sense of her experiences in prison by confronting the harsh reality of life on the inside and examining them from different angles. In an overwhelmingly masculine environment, where strength and aggression are routinely on show, Alex's view is particularly important.

Capturing the confusion and contradictions of prison, Alex presents a life that is often hidden from the public. Changing our perceptions, Behind These Doors shows the many devastating, but often inspiring, consequences prison can have.
