Sinopse

When Daniel Khalife escaped from Wandsworth in September 2023, the nation got a glimpse into the heart of the prison system, and what they saw there was chaos. This came as no surprise to Ian Acheson, who had spent years warning of the disasters to come.
Screwed is the inside story of the collapse of His Majesty's Prison Service, told by someone who had a front-row seat to it all. Acheson went from officer to Governor in less than a decade, and during that time he witnessed the uniformed organisation he was proud to serve crumble into lethal disarray. This uncompromisingly brutal account exposes the politics and operational decisions that have driven our prisons to a state where rats roam freely, prisoners are forced to use slop buckets, violence and intimidation are normalised and it is easier to get a bag of heroin than a bar of soap.

Concluding that the crisis is not unfixable, however, Acheson outlines a new corporate culture and mission that puts its faith in the officers who walk the landings every day: order restored, potential rescued, society safeguarded.

    An essential guide to nurturing the next generation of responsible, informed citizens 
     
     
     
    Lindsey Cormack's book, How to Raise a Citizen (And Why It's Up to You to Do It), speaks directly to an America in which civic knowledge is alarmingly sparse and many people dread politics. It's a tool for parents, educators, and anyone eager to fill this gap. In the book, Cormack offers an engaging and practical approach to discussing political issues and the inner workings of the US government with children. She explains why our schools can no longer be the sites of civic education that they used to be and provides parents with strategies and necessary know-how to be able to impart these lessons to their children. From the intricacies of the voting process to the foundational principles of democracy and the significance of key government documents like the Constitution, the author demystifies complex topics with clarity and insight. 
     
     
     
    How to Raise a Citizen is a roadmap to a future where political dialogue and civic engagement are not just encouraged but celebrated in our homes. With actionable advice and easy-to-understand explanations, it empowers listeners to instill a sense of civic responsibility and curiosity in the young minds they influence.

    Step back in time to 1960, when the quiet town of Upper Middleton was forever changed by the unyielding hand of Aunty Mae. Widowed and grieving, Aunty Mae stumbled upon a young thief in her garden – Emma Dixon. What began as a spontaneous act of discipline blossomed into a peculiar arrangement: Emma, at the tender age of 19, willingly toiled in Aunty Mae's garden, subject to regular bare-bottomed spankings.Aunty Mae  
    The twist in this tale unravels when Aunty Mae and a group of young women unearth an old punishment book in the dusty recesses of the community school. As fate would have it, the book becomes a token of a secret pact, binding these six 19-year-olds to Aunty Mae's disciplinary world. The echoes of their spankings lingered through the years, some returning willingly, others at the insistence of their husbands. 
    Aunty Mae's penchant for punishment took an unexpected turn in 1962 when she found herself offering advice as an agony aunt for the local church paper. Her columns, laden with the wisdom of a disciplinarian, skyrocketed in popularity. Aunty Mae's notoriety spread beyond Upper Middleton, as she fearlessly recommended spankings for the undisciplined, both young and old. 
    Enter the captivating world of "Aunty Mae's Punishment Book" by Paula Mann, where discipline meets nostalgia, secrets are exposed, and Aunty Mae's unorthodox methods leave an indelible mark on the quaint town of Upper Middleton. Spanning decades, this tale is a unique blend of history, humour, and a touch of spice, promising a journey through time that you won't soon forget.

    Sometimes, an unruly young man needs to be taken over the knee. 
      
    Strong-willed jock Brad has flunked again, and Professor Carter is no longer interested in his excuses. 
      
    It’s time for disciplinary action to be taken. 
      
    But what Brad needs isn’t tutoring sessions and extra assignments. No, what Brad needs is a good, hard spanking — followed up with some long, hard positive reinforcement. 
      
    Will Brad continue his streak of good behavior now, or will Professor Carter — maybe with the help of a hot hunk from the wrestling team — have to pin Brad down and give him a double-up lesson?
