In this unusual insider's look at prison life, both a prisoner and a prison counsellor give their own views of the same events. Each man approaches the "time game" with different purposes, values, goals. Each plays his part in relation to the other, to the prison system, and to the society beyond the walls from which each in his own way is cut off.What emerges is an insight into the ways these men think about and interpret their experiences.
