A Bit of a Stretch was a very interesting read and really eye-opening of what it’s like to be behind bars. He explained how mental health issues impact prisoners and how rife drug use is just to get through the ordeal. It also explained why reoffending statistics are so high.

Obviously, as a white male in for a white-collar crime, Chris Atkins had a lot of privilege which he does acknowledge and he knows that it made his time in prison easier than those less privileged. I did find parts of it a bit repetitive and it got a bit tedious in the middle but all in all, it was a good read.

I received a copy of the ebook via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review
