It&apos;s the 25th of December, 2016. Imagine waking up on Christmas morning with a person you only met a few months ago, not your partner or soulmate, but your pad mate, in HMP. I&apos;m on top bunk and he&apos;s down below, two lives colliding. During the three and a half years I was in prison I wrote over a million words by hand. Tales From The Jails is a contemporaneous account of my life, and attempts to thrive rather than merely survive, whilst incarcerated. Most names have been changed. The events have not. This is a Jekyll &amp; Pride production.
