A Heart to Help: an introduction to the work of Quaker prison chaplains by Maureen Miller
  • ISBN: 978 0 9532305 2 5
  • £6 + £1
  • 50 p&p
  • Order from Southport Meeting, Court Road, Southport PR9 9ER


  • No one can enter a prison without becoming aware that this is undoubtedly one of the extreme environments of life
  • Prisons are places of constant movement
  • They are authoritarian and they are regimented
  • They bring together the violent, the immature and the weak-willed


  • It’s a bit like standing at the crossroads of extreme human experience and meeting it head-on as it hurtles towards you from all directions

  • Joolz Saunders
