In December 1992, Derek Lewis was appointed Director General of the prison Service. His brief was to transform the outdated and inefficient organization, improve its performance and introduce "modern management methods". This is Lewis's account of that time, of politics, conflict, meddling and the inner workings of government, and the crisis of October 1995 which led to his controversial public dismissal.
