The Prison Doctor: Women Inside
by Amanda Brown
At 49 years old, Amanda leaves the doctor’s practice she had run for nearly 20 years and goes to work in a male young offenders unit, followed by the notorious Wormwood Scrubs prison and now at 65 she works at HMP Bronzefield, Britain’s biggest women’s prison. She shares her patients stories from miraculous pregnancies to dirty protests and from violent attacks on prisoners to heartbreaking acts of self-harm.
Both books were fascinating, I found both books easy to read but I enjoyed the second book more. Amanda has so much compassion for her patients. Amanda has touched the lives of so many people from all different walks of life. A lot of her patients have come from abusive homes and hearing some of their stories were awful. It’s very sad to read that so many people commit crimes just so they are put in prison to simply have food, warmth and a bed at night. The only refuge in life is being in prison due to the abuse they have suffered in their home life. A lot of the patients are addicted to drugs when they come in to prison and the stories they told were sad. Although the patients had sad life stories, there was a lot of strength throughout the book. Highly recommend. 5/5
