Life as a prison officer was Gen's calling. But when she took her first job in a men’s prison at only 23, she was thrown in at the deep end. How did she find her place amongst gangsters, killers and traffickers? How would she navigate a mental health system on its knees? And how could she help the prisoners who needed it most when half the officers had already given up? Gen's new book, The Prison Officer, shares a brutally honest, no-holds-barred story of her time behind bars.
Join Rebecca Fletcher as she chats to author Gen Glaister about her experiences of working in one of London’s largest male prisons and her determination to change the public’s approach to people in prison and to get the UK excited about justice reform.
