Book Description
'My name is Ronnie Thompson. Being a prison officer was something I used to be proud of. I soon realised the truth of what it's like working as a screw, though. It's a fucking headache. Corruption, danger, violence. Welcome to my world.' Ronnie Thompson was just an ordinary guy. That is, until he became a prison officer. By the time he started work at HMP Romwell, he realised he was actually a nurse, a copper, a probation officer, a carer, a councillor, a social worker and, of course, an incarcerator all in one. Oh, and a punch bag for the cons and bosses. In SCREWED, Ronnie tells it like it is. He reveals what really goes on behind bars - the times when force is necessary and used, and when it is unnecessary but still used. He exposes the underworld of bent screws, the drugs they traffic, the firms they work for and what they get paid for their sins. He shows how it is left down to a small group of officers to control an over-flowing prison, keep an eye out for corrupt govenors, and dodge the deluded human rights campaigners. Ultimately, he shows us that being a good screw doesn't always mean sticking to the rules...

Pages : 0
Book Description
You've been screwed. You've been bludgeoned, skewered, crushed, mutilated by the stock market. Every day you read about another corporate scandal: loans to CEOs that didn't have to be repaid, accounting "irregularities," profits that never existed. You think the stock market must have been rigged. And you're right. You were betrayed by the stock promotion machine -- the mutual fund managers, the brokers, analysts, strategists, and stock gurus who brainwashed you into buying and holding and believing that stocks, like parents, always come through and bail you out in the end. So now what do you do? Where do you put your money? You can't just leave it in the bank or stuff it under the mattress. For fourteen years Jim Cramer ran a hedge fund that compounded money at a rate of 24 percent annually after fees, and then he got out at the end of 2000. He knows that there are ways to make money, smart ways that don't require you to own stocks blindly. There are other investments that won't send you to the poorhouse. This book will tell you what went wrong, who the bad guys were, and what you have to do to restore your financial health. You can't just close your eyes. Ignoring Wall Street isn't the answer. Cash alone isn't the answer. This book has the answers.

Author: Ian Acheson
Publisher: Biteback Publishing
ISBN: 1785905392
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 174
Book Description
When Daniel Khalife escaped from Wandsworth in September 2023, the nation got a glimpse into the heart of the prison system, and what they saw there was chaos. This came as no surprise to Ian Acheson, who had spent years warning of the disasters to come. Screwed is the inside story of the collapse of His Majesty's Prison Service, told by someone who had a front-row seat to it all. Acheson went from officer to Governor in less than a decade, and during that time he witnessed the uniformed organisation he was proud to serve crumble into lethal disarray. This uncompromisingly brutal account exposes the politics and operational decisions that have driven our prisons to a state where rats roam freely, prisoners are forced to use slop buckets, violence and intimidation are normalised and it is easier to get a bag of heroin than a bar of soap. Concluding that the crisis is not unfixable, however, Acheson outlines a new corporate culture and mission that puts its faith in the officers who walk the landings every day: order restored, potential rescued, society safeguarded.

Book Description
SCREWED: Unmasking the Global Elite's Agenda "The Greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist" In a world where the lines between fiction and reality blur, "SCREWED" takes you on an eye-opening journey into the heart of the forces that shape our lives without our consent. Drawing parallels to the shadowy "High Table" of John Wick's universe, Charles Anthony exposes the real-life global elite—an underground network of powerful individuals and institutions that manipulate governments, economies, and media to their advantage. Through meticulous research and bold assertions, Anthony dissects the pervasive influence of these elites on our daily existence. From the skyrocketing cost of living and the erosion of privacy to the manipulation of media and the undermining of democracy, "SCREWED" shines a light on the many ways we are being controlled and deceived. With chapters that delve into topics such as inflation, border security, crime, and the exploitation of fear and greed, this book offers a comprehensive look at the systemic issues that plague our nation. Anthony does not merely present problems; he urges readers to wake up, stand up, and speak up against these hidden powers. Prepare to be challenged and inspired as "SCREWED" calls for unity and action in the face of a seemingly insurmountable enemy. This is not just a book; it’s a call to arms for every citizen tired of being manipulated and ready to reclaim their freedom. Discover the truth. Break the chains. Join the fight.
