The future is being created now -for better or for worse

A guy who can't fit into society and steals - you lock up in prison. Kind of forget him until he steals again. Then you lock him up again. (A Prisoner)
At a time when our prisons are overcrowded and longer and longer sentences are being imposed Tony Parker examines the effect of imprisonment on men now, and what this means for the future.
The purpose of the training and treatment of convicted prisoners shall be to encourage and assist them to lead a good and useful life. (The Prison Rules: Rule 1)
What sort of life do prisoners lead inside? How does imprisonment change them - does it in fact help them to lead a good and useful life?
First-hand evidence from former prisoners, prison officers, a prison Governor, and others concerned with the treatment of offenders.

A thriller serial in six parts by Bill Craig
starring William Lucas as Eddie Prior, Claire Nielson as Liz Elliot, Peter Copley as Cadwaller, John Grieve as Shaw, Callum Mill as Sgt. Forbes
From Scotland

When Eddie Prior comes to a Scottish island in search of his allegedly unfaithful wife Helen, he finds that she's been drowned trying to reach the mainland.
Combing the shore for her body, he meets Spinner, an angler with a strange catch-a drowned man whose body the tide takes back.
Meanwhile, his sister-in-law Liz arrives to find Helen's cottage ransacked. The local police sergeant, Forbes, suspects a tinker named Shaw. But Eddie tells Liz that he had seen the drowned man before - in the cottage the previous night.

A series of personal reflections by leading figures in the world of music and the arts

Saul Bellow is author of best-sellers "Herzog" and "Mosby's Memoirs".
