The 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, 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 memoir, Amanda reveals the stories, the patients and the cases that have shaped a career helping those most of us would rather forget.
