RECLUSO, VIDA PRISIONAL

In December 1999, Ruth Wyner, then Director of the Cambridge homeless charity Wintercomfort, and John Brock, Wintercomfort's Day Centre Manager, were controversially imprisoned for five and four years respectively for "allowing" drug use to take place at the day centre. Although their sentences were reduced to 14 months on appeal, they still spent over 200 days in custody. Here, Ruth Wyner describes her experiences and thoughts during those months.
