Find out how serial killers cope with capture and what life is really like on death row at Dr Friday's Stage Fright at the Tom Thumb Theatre in Margate. Dr Ross Friday, who has lectured in forensic psychology at the University of Greenwich for over a decade, explores how prisoners create their own codes of justice, and whether serial killers can ever be understood.
Expect live demonstrations, a look at whether you would cope with life behind bars, an overview of the psychological testing of prisoners, and previously unreleased crime scene photos.
