This book confronts and challenges many preconceived ideas held about prisoners and prisons.
The Queen vs Trenton Oldfield: A Prison Diary is a timely exposé of a personal experience of British ‘justice’ and incarceration. It brings together insightful ‘inside’ information, images, critical articles and related documents in a provocative consideration of the role of prisons, dissent and the culture of elitism shaping 21st century Britain.
Trenton Oldfield was sentenced to 6 months’ imprisonment at HM Wormwood Scrubs for a peaceful direct action protest to draw attention to the long standing and entirely unjust inequalities in British society that are being severely exacerbated by government cuts and the culture of elitism.
