Paperback

By (author): Mim Skinner

AS SEEN ON BBC BREAKFAST

Step inside one of Britain''s most renowned prisons...

During her time as a prison teacher Mim Skinner met people from all walks of life - what united them, was that they had committed a serious crime. But Mim''s job was not to judge them, it was to teach.

In this compelling, inspirational memoir Mim takes you behind the bars. From drugs and violence to pregnancy and heartbreak, Mim''s classroom saw it all. With high drama but also candid humour The Prison Teacher is full of eye-opening stories of those without a voice, revealing the human side of our country''s most controversial institution.
