Brilliant couple of hours here today...Graham the guide was very knowledgeable, funny (with a huge helping of scepticism about how things have changed-just like the NHS!)and was clearly a well liked and passionate prison officer. Learnt so much and would definitely recommend it to friends and family. My only caution would be that there may be too much gory/honest detail for little people....however for me the gory details were great, although I did shudder at the short time between a prisoner leaving the execution cell to point of execution. I even went into cell C203 by myself. Excellent friendly and helpful team. Thank you so much. Becca
