Carlo Gébler 
The Wing Orderly’s Tales 

‘It’s jail, ‘ I said. ‘Don’t expect better of anybody in jail. Expect worse.’ Welcome to Her Majesty’s Prison Loanend, where inmate Harold ‘Chalky’ Chalkman – serving twelve for a violent assault, and lucky not to have been done for attempted murder – works as the orderly to ‘E’ and ‘F’ wings. Burning with authenticity, The Wing Orderly’s Tales is about damnation and redemption, humour and darkness, and the slivers of humanity that survive in even the harshest environments.
