The Escape

During my research for the ITV series The Governor I worked with many prisoners and encouraged their writing projects. They told me many stories about their lives. The Escape is a work of fiction but based on a series of events told to me by two inmates. The names of the characters and the location of the prison have been changed. As that was some years ago, the prison systems have since been upgraded, but it remains a very moving and thrilling story.
