Screwed

Product Information

We’ve seen a trailer and poster for Screwed– the British prison drama that stars Mr Noel Clarke and James D’Arcy ( Master And Commander), which is an adaptation of a novel called Screwed: The Truth About Life as a Prison Officer, a bestselling work, both acclaimed and controversial, by British ex-prison officer-turned-author Ronnie Thompson (not his real name by the way). Anna McFall, 18, killed by Fred in July 1967. Discovered June 1994 at Fingerpost Field near Much Marcle. She was eight months pregnant at the time of her death.

Mary Bastholm, 15, disappeared in January 1968. Last seen in Bristol Road at a bus stop. She is widely believed to have been killed by Fred. Rena Costello, 27, Fred's first wife, also killed in 1971, buried at Letterbox Field in Much Marcle. So too we should note that these autobiographies all describe local prisons – specifically HMPs Winson Green, Durham, Wandsworth, Belmarsh and Wormwood Scrubs, and “Thompson” calls the prison that he served in as “HMP Romwell”. Again, from the descriptions that he provides, this would appear to be a busy London local, and in all likelihood HMP Pentonville. Thus we have a partial view of the Prison Service contained within these accounts given that they do not describe training prisons, Cat Ds, Young Offender Institutions, the female prison estate, or the therapeutic regime at HMP Grendon.

These omissions notwithstanding, the three books do provide us with a view of prison from the perspective of a Prison Officer from the days when Capital Punishment was still practiced (Douglas attended an execution at HMP Bristol) to almost the present day. What do they reveal? Perhaps it is best to look at what we learn about prisons through the lens of the Prison Officer by considering this in two ways. First, the effect of Prison Officers on prison life – and specifically the effect of Prison Officers on the lives of prisoners, and secondly the impact that prison has on Prison Officers.
