Welcome to Litsy!

Justin Rollins spent the formative days of his youth out on the streets, the leader of a feared gang. As the level of violence increased, Rollins behaviour became more unpredictable and, aged 18, he attacked two men with a meat cleaver on the London Underground and was detained in a prison for young offenders. Diagnosed as having ‘Borderline personality Disorder’ but starved of the psychiatric and emotional support he needed, Rollins plunged into a nightmare of OCD, paranoia and self-harming. In prison, his behaviour became increasingly violent and unpredictable as he descended into madness. Moving, honest and frequently shocking, My Crazy Days as a Young Offender will have you gripped from the outset. The book details how Rollins feels he was failed by the system and left on his own to survive in prison where he mixed with some of the most evil and hated men in the UK. This is the story of one man’s struggle to find his identity, deal with his anger and find an alternative way to live. This book will appeal to anyone with an interest in true crime and who would like to find out what really goes on inside Britain’s prisons.
