Description

Vanessa Frake-Harris worked for 27 years as "Governor" of Wormwood Scrubs - one of Britain's most infamous prisons. Vanessa shares some of her most harrowing stories about what really happens behind the walls of a high security prison. From spending 2 months with serial killer Rose West, to throwing Libertines frontman Pete Doherty into segregation, the Governor has lived and breathed the depths of prison life.


Vanessa speaks openly about how she believes prisons don't reform offenders as they claim to, how inmates can manipulate officers to smuggle in drugs, and how prisoners are recruited by staff as informants. Plus what happens when someone dies in prison, and how an inmate got their revenge on Vanessa...


Once you've finished listening, go and grab Vanessa's incredible book 'The Governor' on Amazon!
