Prison doctor. When violence, drugs and suicide are your everyday life

15 December 2022

Do people who have committed unimaginable atrocities still deserve help and care? Absolutely yes! It is a doctor's duty to prevent human suffering. Even the suffering of those convicted of the greatest crimes in history.

Dr Amanda Brown treated inmates at the notorious Wormwood Scrubs prison and later at Europe's largest women's prison in Bronzefield, among others. In this remarkable book, she cites intimate, sometimes sad and frightening and sometimes joyful patient stories, sharing the experiences that have shaped her as a doctor and... as a human being. Because no matter what her patient has committed - as long as they need it, she will never stop treating them.
