I met Daniel in a high-security prison, where I worked as a prison officer. He was just 21. We’d talked about him a lot before he arrived on the wing – we passed the security briefing on him back and forth, scrutinising his vacant mug shot and the endless red bullet points beneath it:
- Hostage Taker
- Staff Assaulter
- Bully
- Climber
Climber wouldn’t ordinarily be a problem, but in prison it is.
