"'It takes away what's going on up in me head.' Injecting yourself with pure citric acid (use to dissolve street heroin, so he always has lots of it lying around) is for Stuart a way of drowing out or simplifying the mess - giving it a physical, tangible focus.
Stuart does not remember the first time he cut himself up at HMP Aylesbury, or even why. His more recent scars form a sort of diary: the blunt pale tissue at the top of his bicep is where, a few years back, he stuck a finger in so he could splash blood at a policeman who was trying to arrest him."
