People of a Village

This is the story of a village told through an intricately-woven web of the lives shared by its people.

Whilst village life has changed over the years, we see from these stories that much about this village, and many like it, remains the same.

Danny McAllister was born in Glasgow and served in the British Army, retiring as a Major in 1984. After leaving the army, he joined the prison service where he spent 27 years in roles including Governor of Whitemoor High Security Prison and Director of High Security Prisons for England and Wales. Upon his retirement from the prison service in 2011, he worked as an international consultant, advising foreign governments on prison matters.
