TheSomething following is takento read… from www.erwinjames.co.uk In need of inspiration? – The Power of Prison and Education Erwin James Monahan was born to itinerant Scottish parents in Somerset in 1957. A family lifestyle described as, “brutal and rootless” by a prison psychologist following the death of his mother when James was seven, led to a limited formal education. Aged ten he was sleeping rough when he gained his first criminal conviction, for the burglary of a sweet shop, which resulted in him being taken into care. He left the care home at 15 and spent the rest of his teenage and early adult years drifting, living with extended family members, and again often sleeping rough. During that time he worked in various labouring jobs, but also committed relatively petty, mostly acquisitive, but occasionally violent crimes (criminal damage, common assault.) His directionless way of life, which included a period as a fugitive in the French Foreign Legion continued, until August 1984 when he began his life sentence for murder. (This is taken from www.erwinjames.co.uk) “The more I learned the more I wanted to learn. As my big empty head filled with knowledge it was as if somebody had switched on a light bulb and illuminated all the shadows. Education lifted me like I had never been lifted before.” Erwin James, Redeemable (2016) James went to prison an inarticulate and ill-educated individual with, in his own words, “massive failings to overcome.” With few apparent skills or abilities his prison beginnings were unpromising. After some encouragement from a prison worker however he embarked on a programme of part-time education. Six years later he graduated with the Open University, gaining an arts degree majoring in History. Around the same time he developed an interest in writing. His first article for a national newspaper, The Independent, appeared in 1994. In 1995 he won first prize in the annual Koestler Awards for prose. His first article in The Guardian newspaper appeared in 1998 and he began writing a regular column for the paper entitled A Life Inside in 2000. The columns were the first of their kind in the history of British journalism and to this day James remains a Guardian columnist and contributor. (A collection of his columns, A Life Inside, A Prisoner’s Notebook, was published in 2003. A follow up, The Home Stretch, From Prison to Parole, was published in 2005.) A year after his release from prison in 2004 James became a trustee of the Prison Reform Trust and from September 2009 until September 2011 he was a trustee of the Alternatives to Violence Project Britain. “Entering prison at 27, James struggled to come to terms with the enormity of his crimes and a future without purpose or hope. Then he met Joan, a prison psychologist, who helped him to confront the painful truth of his past, and to understand how it had shaped him from such a young age. Her sessions transformed his life. Encouraged to read and to educate himself, over the next twenty years Erwin James would go on to receive a BA in History, and become a regular columnist for the Guardian. Speaking to the very heart of the human condition, this is a book that offers no excuses - only the need to understand how we become who we become, and shows that no matter how far a person may fall, redemption is possible with the right kind of help. It is an important and timely memoir.” (Amazon.co.uk) .
