The book is suitable as a teaching and learning tool for those working with men in prison settings who facilitate individual or group discussion and learning opportunities. There is ample material in carefully constructed lesson plans around themes which explore the main theme of the book that prisons are created in our head and that freeing ourselves takes more than reconising a custodial sentence, which was imposed and in which individuals are 'doing their time'. Bianchini has written an honest book, which reflects his observations comparisons between phusical incarceration and lessons which can improve the quality of our lives...I recommend this book to anyone who support individuals, groups or does advice work and wants a structured developmental approach to hearing what people are really saying in order to help them and ourselves become 'unstuck'.`
