The Governor

THE SUNDAY TIMES TOP TEN BESTSELLER

As seen on This Morning

Back in the day, I was Governor of Security and Operations for HMP Wormwood Scrubs. If youre easily shocked or offended, you best look away now...

Having worked for 16 years in a high-security womens prison dealing with the likes of Rosemary West and Myra Hindley, Vanessa Frake thought shed seen it all. That was until she was transferred to the notorious Wormwood Scrubs.

Thrust into a mans world, her no-nonsense approach and fearless attitude saw her swiftly rise through the ranks. From dealing with celebrity criminals and busting drug rings, to recruiting informers and being subject to violent attacks, this hard-hitting but often humorous memoir reveals all about life behind bars in unflinching detail.

Now, for one last time, The Gov opens the prison gates. Prepare for the madness and horror of daily life with the UKs most ruthless criminals.
