Prisoner autobiographies are used to construct an understanding of how therapy at HMP Grendon 'works', grounded in Genders and Player's 'therapeutic career model'. The use of these sources – or 'voices'– provides the listener not only with a deeper understanding of how the therapeutic process operates, but also raises issues which have not previously been described in the academic literature about the prison, or within the 'what works' debate. In particular the idea of a therapeutic 'champion' is introduced.
