Andy West, author of ‘The Life Inside‘ takes part – Philosophy in the Bookshop – series to discuss the TV adaptation of his memoir

SOON TO BE A BBC DRAMA, ‘WAITING FOR THE OUT’ SCREENS IN JANUARY

Andy West teaches philosophy in prisons. Every time he steps behind bars, he also confronts his inherited shame: his father, uncle and brother all spent time inside. While Andy has built a different life for himself, he still fears that their fate will also be his.

Now a six-part BBC Drama,’Waiting for the out’, The Life Inside is an elegantly written and unforgettable memoir. Through exquisite storytelling and gentle philosophical questioning, it offers a new insight into our stretched justice system, our failing prisons and the complex lives being lived inside.
