I welcome Paul MacNamara to the show in this interview episode to discuss his debut book, 'The Criminal Class: Memoir of a Prison Teacher.'
Paul was born in Sydney and has worked as an educator in several correctional centres in Australia. He has also worked as a teacher in the juvenile justice system.
He never held a political position on the prison system and knew very little of the workings of a jail. Through 'The Criminal Class', Paul has created a thought-provoking tale based on his surreal and eye-opening experience that is - all at once - tragic, amusing and entertaining.
The film and television rights to Paul's book have been acquired by Bondi Beach Productions, a multi-award-winning Film and TV production company with offices in Sydney, Los Angeles and New York.
'The Criminal Class: Memoir of a Prison Teacher' was released on July 4, 2022, and is available to purchase here:
AUS: The Criminal Class | Big Sky Publishing
UK: The Criminal Class | Amazon.co.uk
