      When I was in the Police we had a female prisoner in our cells one day and I was talking with her. she had been at Cookham Wood Prison and knew Myra Hindley. She was in raptures abouther.. I thought then from what she told me.. no. .that woman is a manipulator.. gettingother female prisoners to like her.

      See if you can arrange a tour of a prison some time. I've worked in a prison and I had no problems with it whatsoever but my previous boss did a walk around tour as part of a job application and it set off all kinds of claustrophobia he didn't know he had. I work well with routine and clear rules but not everyone can handle the pretty intense rules either. It can also mess with people's heads how you have to be on the lookout for manipulation all the time. A woman I work with worked in the court service and that was enough to make her a bit paranoid. Meanwhile I live around the corner from a probation office and an approved premises for people on parole. I have to just accept that it is just a part of life that I have criminals living nearby and not let it bother me. Not everyone can just get on with their day once they know what kind of people are just walking around, going about their daily lives.

    Thank you, Vanessa, for your service. You made a difference. Those of us who are retired relate to your feeling of being lost when our careers end...it takes time to figure out the next chapter. If I may be so bold, I would suggest that you go on the speakers circuit. It is very lucrative, part time and it would help you to continue to inform the public about your life's work and lessons learned which is a very worthy purpose, indeed. Thanks to Ladbible for this interview. One of the best ever.
