About this listen

A funny, touching, challenging and campaigning book about our prisons crisis by the Sunday Times bestselling author of A Bit of a Stretch.

British prisoners have to endure the most inhumane and barbaric conditions imaginable, so why do so many of them keep going back? Former inmate and documentary maker Chris Atkins has spent the last six years tracking the fortunes of a dozen repeat offenders to understand why the state fails to keep them out of trouble.

Featuring funny, wild and poignant stories, Time After Time exploits Chris's unprecedented access to the criminal underworld to understand why the system actually makes reoffending all but inevitable for ex prisoners.

An interesting book, which have already recommended to a sociology student to help get a grasp on what is happening in the wider world and not just a lecture theatre.
Unfortunately throughout our country people are lumped together and seen as a cost and not as individuals.
And the general public are conditioned to see the same. We have a lack of humanity and like to see ourselves as better and are unforgiving.
This book is a good place to start if you want to understand how the prison system affects inmates.
We like to think they are being rehabilitated, but it seems its far from the truth.
I've had 2 ex prison officers do work for me, both saying they left the service because of bullying by groups of other officers.
It all seems very toxic and in need of an overhaul.

Thought provoking

Having enjoyed the Secret Barrister, this raises a lot of same points but from an (ex) prisoners perspective. Captivating and thought provoking,

Important perspective

Following on from “A bit of a stretch” Chris’ story delves into life after prison, with stories from new and old characters shining a light on the appalling state of British justice and the injustices served daily to ex-prisoners which simply perpetuate a cycle of suffering seemingly gleefully witnessed and encouraged by both government ministers and shadow ministers. Thank you Chris.

A must listen sequel

This book has made me laugh. Made me cry. Made me rejoice and made me despair. Chris shines a unique light on all that is wrong with the Criminal Justice System. A must read for anyone who is interested in works in the Criminal Justice System.

Superb book.

A book that makes you want to start a revolution
