Blood – but not as much as you might imagine.
Sweat – and the prisons no longer provide soap.

Carl Cattermole is a young ex-inmate and legal reform campaigner. He spent time in five different UK prisons and, sharing cells with international gangsters, drug addicts, psychopaths and sex offenders, he formulated his idea for a book to help inmates cope with the unique challenges of prison life. He has contributed to the BBC, the Guardian, the Daily Mail, and the Mirror on the subject of prisons and prison reform. Carl has previously judged Flash Fiction and Short Story entries submitted to the Koestler Awards.
