Mrs Billy Connolly's tale of a more-than-usually extraordinary year in the life of living with her husband offers an insider's view of his filming, his charity works, his 60th birthday party and
TV work, and includes personal insight into what makes him tick - and what makes her tick (it's her year too). The nature of fame, the challenges of age and triumph-over-adversity are all themes
underlying the many anecdotes collected in this book.

In 1970, Harold Stamp, a retarded, reclusive 20 year-old was convicted on disputed evidence and a retracted confession of brutally murdering his grandmother - the one person who understood and protected
him. Less than three years later he is dead, driven to suicide by isolation and despair. Slowly but surely, Minette Walters has been building up her reputation as one of the UK's most penetrating and
distinctive purveyors of the psychological thriller. Disordered Minds will add even more lustre to her name.

PRISON-GATE:
The Shocking State of Britain's Prisons
Sir David Ramsbotham

From the Inside:
Life in a Women's Prison
Ruth Wyner
In 1999 Ruth Wyner and John Brock were found guilty under the Misuse of Drugs Act. Their "crime", as charity workers devoted to running the
Wintercomfort hostel for the homeless was to have made insufficient efforts to prevent drug dealing on the premises. Their sentence an astonishing
five years. She had to serve seven months before the appeal court quashed her sentence - though not her conviction.It is not only the first full
account in years of what life is like in one of Britain's women's prisons - and therefore of sociological interest; it is also the frank and moving
story of how one woman - even with the benefits of a loving family, education and mental stability denied to her infinitely more vulnerable
fellow inmates - struggled to cope with the unhealthy, dehumanising, incessantly noisy and nerve-jangling daily life of a women's jail.

Locked in - Locked Out:
The Experience of Young Offenders Out of Society and in Prison.
John Harding (Foreword), Angela Neustatter.
We lock up more young people than any other country in Europe but do we know what happens when they are put into custody? What is the impact
on them of a prison regime? Can it be a constructive, rehabilitative experience or does the culture of prison make this impossible? Is being removed from home and
community inevitably destructive or can it give some youngsters a chance to sort out chaotic lives? Can prison be the place to address the severe problems of physical and sexual
abuse, violence, disadvantage, failure, and self-loathing that so many who end up inside suffer? Or is locking them up the ultimate failure of a society that
cannot find a better way to deal with its problem young? Angela Neustatter visits young offenders, governors, staff, HM Chief Inspector of Prisons,
the Probation Service,Youth Offending Teams, voluntary agencies and campaigning organisations to find some answers to these important questions, and puts forward recommendations
for improving the way society deals with children who break the law.
