Lucy Partington, 21, killed December 1973. Last seen at a bus stop in Cheltenham, her body was discovered in the cellar in Cromwell Street in 1994. Therese Siegenthaler, 21, abducted in 1974 while hitchhiking. Buried under an extension built by Fred at 25 Cromwell Street.

Alison Chambers, 16, living in care in Gloucester.

The first point to note is an absence. Douglas joined the Prison Service in 1962 and resigned in 1977; Dawkins served between 1992-1999; and “Thompson” for approximately seven years from 2000, and thus their record of service does not include the 1980s when there were major changes introduced into the management of prisons through a series of reforms known as “A Fresh Start”. This was an important time for the management of the service when, for example, the old ranks of Chief Officer and Assistant Governor were unified, and the practice of directly recruiting Assistant Governors was abolished in favour of an Accelerated Promotion Scheme. These omissions notwithstanding, the three books do provide us with a view of prison from the perspective of a Prison Officer from the days when Capital Punishment was still practiced (Douglas attended an execution at HMP Bristol) to almost the present day. What do they reveal? Perhaps it is best to look at what we learn about prisons through the lens of the Prison Officer by considering this in two ways. First, the effect of Prison Officers on prison life – and specifically the effect of Prison Officers on the lives of prisoners, and secondly the impact that prison has on Prison Officers.

Excavation work at Cromwell Street started in February 1994 as part of a missing person enquiry into the disappearance of Heather, then 16. Based on the book by former prison officer Ronnie Thompson, who also produced the film and wrote the screenplay, Screwed is an ugly and at times clichéd look inside a place you would rather not be. However, the performances are convincing, particularly from D’Arcy, and the director handles the subject with skill. Rena Costello, 27, Fred's first wife, also killed in 1971, buried at Letterbox Field in Much Marcle. Heather West, 16, the eldest daughter of Fred and Rose. A pupil at Oxstalls School at the time of her death in June 1987. Her dismembered body was found buried in the garden at Cromwell Street. Her brother Stephen claims their father asked him to help dig the hole she was buried in. And what of the effect of this type of work on Prison Officers? “Thompson” and Dawkins both describe how they drank to excess – sometimes turning up to duty still under the influence of what they had consumed the night before (which makes their claims to professionalism difficult to accept); Douglas and to a lesser extent Dawkins describe extra-marital sexual liaisons; and all three had difficulties in their relationships.Ronnie Thompson was just an ordinary guy. That is, until he became a prison officer. By the time he started work at HMP Romwell, he realised he was actually a nurse, a copper, a probation officer, a carer, a counsellor, a social worker and, of course, an incarcerator all in one. Oh, and a punch bag for the cons and bosses. We’ve seen a trailer and poster for Screwed– the British prison drama that stars Mr Noel Clarke and James D’Arcy ( Master And Commander), which is an adaptation of a novel called Screwed: The Truth About Life as a Prison Officer, a bestselling work, both acclaimed and controversial, by British ex-prison officer-turned-author Ronnie Thompson (not his real name by the way). Juanita Mott, 18, a former lodger at Cromwell Street. She was last seen in April 1975. Her body was found buried at Cromwell Street. Shirley Robinson, 18, a former lodger who was eight months pregnant with Fred's child. She was killed in May 1978. Anna McFall, 18, killed by Fred in July 1967. Discovered June 1994 at Fingerpost Field near Much Marcle. She was eight months pregnant at the time of her death.
