Items related to The Second Prison
Kane is struggling to find a way out of the "second prison", a way of taking control of his life. This is a novel of love, fear, suspicion and violent death, in which men and women grasping for something better, find themselves dragged into a world of covert deeds and unacknowledged secrets.

Review:
'The way in which humane values emerge not from the idealised women who are supposed to represent them but from Kane's fellow-prisoners is genuinely distinguished. And the structure, counterpointing prison's sterile rhythmwith the energy of life outside, emphasises the starkness of the choice before him' Andro Linklater, The Spectator
'Prisons material are all too often transformed into prisons metaphorical, but the theme is rarely as well done as it is here... Bennett's republished debut mixes thriller with prison diary; the portrayal of Kane is subtle, sorrowful and nicely low key' Guardian
'A bleak but fascinating portrait' Times Metro
