Books By Stephen Jackley - Author

Stephen Jackley spent six-and-a-half years in 12 different prisons around the UK, witnessing seismic shifts in a system that incarcerates upwards of 80,000 people each year. From the twilight years of Gordon Brown's Labour government, to the draconian policies ushered in by Tory Justice Minister Chris Grayling, he witnessed how prisons became a political playground for pandering towards an ever partisan press. Upon release, he went on to set up a social enterprise, receiving commendation from then HRH Prince Charles and nominations for awards.
