FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF A BIT OF A STRETCH
'It's a cracking book. He really can write' James O'Brien, LBC
'Eloquent, witty, engaging and enraged ... the most important book you'll read this year' Sathnam Sanghera
'Brings a unique perspective, an unflinching eye and a dark sense of humour to hidden stories from the underbelly of the British justice system' Rafael Behr
Our justice system allows a man to escape prison by pretending to be his twin brother. It lets someone live in luxury hotels for nine months masquerading as the Duke of Marlborough. It sends a man back to prison for not attending a party.
How do these things happen, and why is it that the only thing harder than being in prison is staying out of it?
Featuring funny, wild and poignant stories,
Time After Time exploits former inmate and documentary maker Chris Atkin's unprecedented access to the criminal underworld to understand why the system actually makes reoffending all but inevitable for ex-prisoners.
