Violence. Drugs. Suicide. Welcome to the world of a Prison Doctor. Dr Amanda Brown has treated inmates in the UK’s most infamous prisons – first in young offenders’ institutions, then at the notorious Wormwood Scrubs and finally at Europe’s largest women-only prison in Europe, Bronzefield. From miraculous pregnancies to dirty protests, and from violent attacks on prisoners to heartbreaking acts of self-harm, she has witnessed it all. In this eye-opening, inspirational memoir, Amanda reveals the stories, the patients and the cases that have shaped a career helping those most of us would rather forget. Despite their crimes, she is still their doctor. Review: Eye opening and strangely heartwarming - Beautifully written & sensitively navigates some truly awful topics. Strangely life affirming and heartwarming, but definitely not for the faint hearted! Review: Dr Brown's Prison Days - Dr Amanda Brown becomes disillusioned with working as a GP in a village (due to government policy) and quits her surgery and one night, whilst feeling frustrated, writes an article that is sent to a GP specific publication to get her feelings off her chest. This is spotted by another doctor who is recruiting doctors to work in prisons. Dr Brown decides to take a job working in prisons and this book relates stories and anecdotes from her time working in these prisons (Huntercombe, Bronzefield & Wormwood Scrubs) This book is very easy to read although the subject matter can be sad with some of the stories that Dr Brown describes from the prisoners as heartbreaking. I found Dr Brown's decision to leave her surgery to be very soft though. She'd worked in a surgery that she built up for years and decided due to new government legislation and a comment from one of her colleagues that she was going to quit!! I'm not a GP but I think most working people would be a little more resilient. And on top of that decides to go to work in a prison! But it's not a criticism of Dr Brown, she deserves credit for going to work in a place that most people would give a wide berth to and tries to change her patients lives for the better. Dr Brown doesn't really offer any opinions on the state of prisons or the prisoners. She doesn't judge and this unfortunately makes the book somewhat 'beige' because I expect most readers will have opinions on crime and prison (and I expect Dr Brown is no different but she has chosen not to express them) but what you get is a book that is a doctors day to day work in a prison with some of the more varied situations added. It was interesting to note however how Dr Brown's attitude to life changes as she spends more time in prison. Her own 'middle class' values seem to become more irrelevant when faced with people who struggle just to survive and end up getting themselves put in prison due to poor (and sometimes unavoidable) life choices. But, like I said, there are many debates to be had about this topic. This book will not provide any answers but it may open some eyes and get people thinking and looking for more information and opinion on the matter. Overall, a good book worth reading. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 931 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) 1 in Health, Fitness & Dieting 1 in Parenting & Relationships 1 in Biographies & Memoirs (Kindle Store) | ## Images ![The Prison Doctor: My time inside Britain’s most notorious jails.
