From a survival guide to a newspaper that was established to give prisoners a voice, these texts help to explain what life is like behind locked doors
what the prison censors made of Bertrand Russell’s “Introduction to Mathematical Philosophy”. He wrote it during a six-month stay inBrixton in London in 1918. Russell, one of the most prominent intellectuals of the 20th century, was sentenced for his pacifist opposition to the first world war. He was also an aristocrat and permitted to serve his time in the “first division” of prisoners. This allowed him a larger cell, the right to order food from outside and have thedelivered every day.
Andy West has never served a prison sentence but his father, brother and uncle all have. He struggles to escape the belief that it is his fate to do the same. A figure he calls “the executioner” haunts him. He confronts his paranoia in an unexpected way—by going into prisons to teach philosophy. The problems he sets help both teacher and students learn about themselves. In one lesson they discuss the Ship of Theseus, the planks of which are replaced as they rot until no original ones remain.
