Prison Chiefs Criticised For Stocking Books On Escaping From Jail 1

Prison chiefs have been criticized for allowing inmates at HMP Erlestoke to borrow books such as Escape by David McMillan , which describes how he broke out of Thailand's "Bangkok Hilton" from the prison library. The catalog of "inappropriate" books also includes Pretty Boy, the story of Roy Shaw, an armed robber who assaulted prison guards while jailed and a book by Tim Carroll about great escapes during World War Two. Strangely, Shiv Making For Dummies, and The Rotation Schedules of Gloucester Prison Guards, didn't make the "questionable" list.
