Synopsis

A lot has been written about Grendon and its success in changing the thought process of the most dangerous and deviant prisoners In the country.

Most of the staff I met wholeheartedly believed in the therapeutic process, but unfortunately Grendon has become just another tick box rehabilitation program that can be exploited.

I'm not an expert on therapy, but I engaged in its ethos and practices and I honestly believe it can help in as far as dealing with past trauma so we can move forward and be better people, equipped with the tools to enable us to make better life decisions.

I'm not a peodophile, rapist or child killer, so I couldn't possibly say it worked or not for them , as I was unable to link in with their thought process on any level, but from what I witnessed throughout my time there I saw a culture of obfuscation, manipulation and the perception of change.

I was fortunate enough to have taken part in the Grendon experiment, to see the real reality of therapy and write about my journey through there. To Write about the real story and not the lies joe public hear.

When you read it you will be in a better position to understand what I mean.

You will see that the democratic process is floored, one upmanship is systemic, the commitment process can be manipulated and was on so many occasions, for no other reason than spite, revenge or collusion by the deviant mafia.

Even by the staff and the more conventional criminals manipulated the system, which was unsettling because so many men going through Grendons therapeutic programs missed an opportunity to change their lives forever for no other reason than their faces didn't fit, or they were not as proficient at deception as their peers.

It's why I had to write this book, to let people know that the perception of change is the number one motivating factor for most of the men going through Grendon, because it is seen as a stepping stone for early release for so many who go there; it's a situation that needs to be explored , explained and remedied, because the men leaving there will go on to create more victims, abuse more children, and kill again.

The data available on men released from Grendon is manipulated and distorted, there is a reason for this; the success stories are celebrated and heralded as triumph to the regime whilst the failures, re-offences and returns to prison are ignored and hidden.

Everyone has the capacity to change but only if he or she has a real desire to, lots of men who go through Grendon's therapeutic prison have that capacity.
