Introducing my book, "All Screwed Up", A Revealing and insightful autobiography,

offering an interesting point of view about our society and prisons.

This website has been brought together with the intention of not only to introduce

to you my new book and the ideologies therein, but also to put all the details of this injustice together in one place so as to make some sense of it for all and self as well. It's been an incredible journey. The trials, tribulations and spiritual realisation have made it imperative that this story now be told.

It is the story of of one man's quest for justice, the anguish the despair, the abject feelings of rejection and the final realisation of the fundamental spiritual truth:

   "You Cannot enclose totality in thought. It is beyond you. You are subject to "it" - It is not subject to you. The complexity of ALL and all is immense beyond calculation, beyond measure. You do not measure it. It measures you. All your efforts of comprehension wind up being merely reflections of your own limited self".

Everybody has a story to tell. A man’s story is his very life. Now I, personally, have this golden opportunity to present my life, my case before the court of World Public Opinion - to the end that the power of injustice may be curbed. Yes, this is my story. Though, I am more than aware of Groucho Marx’s claim: “When a person starts writing his memoirs, it’s a sure sign he’s washed up!”

To this, I laugh. “Screwed up” I may be, but not washed up.  

Excerpts from "All Screwed Up" by Michael Nsonwu chapter 5 page 188/189 copy2001:

“My whole attitude towards prison reforms differed significantly from both the British liberal and conservative approach, and it was with my candid outlook on the matter that I sought in earnest to impress the many black inmates who flocked over to me for protection and help. As I saw it, the way forward was in the recognition, on the part of the offender, of his responsibility and the gravity of his offence. The gentle but firm and earnest counselling would be calculated to open his eyes to the seriousness of the injury to his victim, it’s possible long-term effects, and his recognition that he was duty-bound to contribute to the healing of that injury one way or the other.

Once that first step of acquiescence in principle, to his culpability was successfully taken, then community jobs would be created in which he would be obliged to participate. He would be paid commensurate remuneration for the job, his board and upkeep in prison being deducted from his pay."

 

 

Here's Kenneth Clarke's Excerpt from June 2010:

 

Clarke warned that simply "banging up more and more people for longer" is actually making some

criminals worse without protecting the public. "In our worst prisons, it produces tougher criminals,"

Clarke said. "Many a man has gone into prison without a drug problem and come out drug dependent.

And petty prisoners can meet up with some new hardened criminal friends."
