Studies in the problem of the persistent offender by Merfyn Turner
Alec
' I don't think I've ever met anybody quite so indifferent to his future and so unresponsive to suggestion. It was as though he'd lost the capacity to feel deeply about anything. Strangers had been helping him ever since he first appeared in Court. But he needed his family. Because he wasn't allowed to belong there, he wasn't prepared to belong anywhere, unless it was in prison.'
