John and Michael chat with Chris Atkins, a celebrated British documentarian who did five years behind bars for tax fraud. (Well, how else was he going to finance his films?) Chris is the newish author of A Bit of a Stretch: The Diaries of a Prisoner, which may be the world's only funny jailhouse memoir... unless you consider Gramsci's a bit of a laugh. He discusses the eerie parallels between life on the inside and the way we all live now under plague conditions. Also, why teetotaling Muslim inmates joined Alcoholics Anonymous.
