Join us for a launch of Dalton Harrison's new release - A Prison Within a Prison: An Evocative Autoethnographic Approach to Being a Transgender Man in a Women's Prison in England.

Mixing academic discourse with poetry and creative writing this book tells the story of one trans mans journey through society and prison and out the other side. There is little known about trans men in prison and this is a one-of-a-kind chance to understand what happens in prison and what it means to be queer in today's society and formerly incarcerated.

This book takes you beyond the media headlines and shows you what happens off the record. Dalton will be reading true stories from the book, as well as a poetry performance that takes you on his journey, followed by Q&A. Dalton is joined on a panel discussion by Professor Aylwyn Walsh from the University of Leeds and Pam Bircumshaw who has a extensive career in Probation and female approved premises discussing Criminal Justice topics and answering further questions.
