Having enjoyed various medical memoirs in the past, I was really looking forward to listening to tales from within the prison system. 

Part 3 of this book was the only one which really held my interest as the stories felt they had more depth and development. Whilst there were some strong stories depicting the struggles of healthcare in prisons; challenges with advocating for prisoners health, rampant self-harming and drug useage, the majority felt very surface level. 

The stories started to feel a tad repetative, there just didn't feel like any development to follow with most or the stories until part 3 of the book.  

Whilst I can recogonise the emotional strength and compassion to perform in a role like this, it did come across very self-praising which became very grating in the audio book. Instead of being centered around the story of prisoners, it felt more centered about her being such a non-jugdmental and empathetic doctor. Perhaps this felt more problematic in the audio book, the narrator was very monotone and with that the story almost came across patronising. 

Overall, I didn't hate this book but wasn't the insight into prison healthcare I had hoped it to be.
