What reading in prison means to me
2 Mar 2017
In our page in last month’s Inside Time PET asked our readers to tell us about their relationships with books and reading. We also took the question to a Prison Reading Group at HMP Wandsworth. To mark World Book Day, here’s what they said.
"I can be locked in my cell and yet at the same time find myself in Coketown in 1854 listening to Mr Bounderby talk about himself; or I could be at a ball with Mr Darcy and Miss Elizabeth Bennett. I can lose hours of prison time getting caught up in the lives of the characters or in the plot of a good crime fiction."
