Reviews 'A timely addition to the growing literature about therapeutic communities (TC) operating within British prisons. Written by two 'insiders', the book charts the history and development of the TC at the privately run HMP Dovegate, but does not shirk from investigating the pros and cons of operating within an environment that seeks to make a profit. Written in clear and accessible prose, the book also usefully includes the voices of residents located at Dovegate, a chapter on the history of TCs in British prisons, and concludes with an optimistic look at the future of TCs within the penal system. At a time of our highest ever prison population let's hope that Dovegate makes it onto the reading list of Ken Clarke' Professor David Wilson, Centre for Applied Criminology, Birmingham City University 'I am affected, warmed and humbled, urging you to read this book.
