Philip Bray joined the Irish prison service in 1977, working in Limerick Prison. His book offers a bridge between the Ireland of yesterday and the Ireland of today in this intriguing account of life in the prison service in one of the most turbulent eras in recent history.
Philip Bray joined the Irish prison service in 1977, working in Limerick Prison. At the time prisons were places where pillows, blankets and even food were scarce. Most prisoners were illiterate and luxuries such as television and books were unheard of.
Philip's story of the changes in the prison service charts Ireland's first female high-security prison in Limerick, a place where wealthy Englishwoman-come-IRA-operative Rose Dugdale's pregnancy went unnoticed, while Limerick Prison's cells were filled with leading Republican figures and later notorious feuding Limerick families and the 'Dublin Mafia', whose imprisonment fuelled a violent protest.

Philip Bray retired in May 2007 after serving for over 30 years as a prison guard in Limerick jail. His account of a career spent in the prison service is more than a diverting memoir; it's an account of Ireland's turbulent recent decades from the perspective of those charged with enforcing the law.
