Jamie explains in his book that while some inmates simply got tattoos to look cool, this sometimes led to them being targeted by prison factions. Convicted bank robber Jerry Lee, who was not one of Jamie's former prison mates, has told how he inked his own face in jail, using a homemade kit. He said from a young age he had been told he had been born on the Isle of Man and that his real name was Morgan James Kane. He spends his time writing and giving talks as well as pursuing wood modelling and art - a passion he developed in prison. Jamie will tell his jaw-dropping story live: you'll be able to question a man who was incarcerated for so long that he completely bypassed the Internet!
