More needs to be done to help prisoners, asserts a former Quaker prison chaplain in a new book.  Confessions of a Prison Chaplain, by Mary Brown, was published last week and deals with her experience of the criminal justice system.  ‘One in three prisoners have been in care at some point and it just goes to show that more needs to be done to help people with their problems, rather than just locking them up,’ she writes.
