14 prisons, not 7 … 🫣

Just what I needed to hear today! I working on a book based on a qualitative study of 7 prisons - so many amazing conventions and quotes and I am including more than what is the norm. Because it humanises people who live and work in prisons and who are usually hidden. Will persist!
