When Umberto Schramm was sent to prison for a mistake he will regret for the rest of his life, he expected punishment... but also rehabilitation. What he found instead was a system so broken that it often made prisoners more likely to reoffend, not less.
Part diary, part manifesto for change, The Happy Prisoner is a searingly honest account of life behind bars - from the violence and deprivation to the unexpected moments of hope. Through his time inside, Schramm came to a radical but vital conclusion: if we truly want safer streets, prisons cannot just punish; they must rehabilitate. And as much as it goes against our instincts, only a relatively happy prisoner is one who can change, grow and learn from his mistakes. But in the UK, an overcrowded, underfunded, and contradictory system is failing on every front.
With unflinching insight, Schramm exposes the flaws at the heart of British justice and argues for a new way forward-one that would cost less, work better, and ultimately create fewer victims of crime. Challenging, humane, and deeply personal, The Happy Prisoner forces us to ask: what kind of justice system do we really want?
