The routine humiliation of fortnightly signing-on ends abruptly when Douggie John finds himself accused of benefit fraud. Suddenly he's up in front of a judge. With a 200 hour community-payback sentence to serve, Douggie finds himself trapped with offenders inside a South London Afro-Caribbean community centre. His humorous - and true - tale of misadventure is both harsh, and moving; from the seemingly harmless young woman caught embezzling, and the machete-wielding man mountain, to the benevolent project staff who tell perhaps the most harrowing stories of all.
