🖋️ A word from our editor…
If you’re a fan of true crime like I am, Prison Chronicles hits a little differently. It’s not dramatised or dressed up for entertainment — it’s just the real, often brutal stories from former prison officers who’ve seen things most of us never will.
It’s a big deal that he’s doing this event. In a Prison Chronicles first, Sid Punts is hosting a rare chance to hear these stories in person. No filter, no edits — just a mic, a beer, and a room full of people who are curious about what actually goes on behind the walls.
It’s not for the faint-hearted, but if you’re into the kind of storytelling that doesn’t shy away from the hard stuff, it’s worth checking out.
