Aged twenty-nine he became, at that time, the UK's youngest ever prison governor in charge of a jail and his career since then has seen him sat across a table with all sorts of killers: sometimes in a tense interview; sometimes sharing a cup of tea (or something a little stronger); sometimes looking them in the eye to tell them that they are a psychopath. Some of these men became David's friends; others would still love to kill him. 'My Life with Murderers' tells the story of David's journey from idealistic prison governor to expert criminologist and professor.
