The Prison Doctor: Women Inside by Amanda Brown offers an insight into life as a prison doctor working with women in custody. It focuses on her time inside HMP Bronzefield, described as the UK’s biggest women’s prison.

Synopsis

Taking readers further behind the walls of Bronzefield, Amanda Brown describes the realities of providing medical care in a complex and pressured environment. The book brings together accounts of women living with addiction, those who have resisted domestic abuse, and prisoners approaching release later in life who feel drawn to the familiarity of the institution.

Throughout, Brown’s role remains constant: she listens, prescribes and offers what support she can as their doctor. These stories are presented as heartbreaking, harrowing and heart-warming, capturing a range of experiences from within Britain’s biggest women’s prison.
