JOSH MITCHELL
Age: 24

In Service: Starter

Grade: NEPO (New Entrant P.O.)

Previous Occupation: Window cleaner; prison works department
Personal Background: Josh lives in Acton in a mate's house ; his mate is abroad and Josh pays his mortgage for a share of the profit when it's sold. Josh is the apple of his mum, Petra's, eye. His dad left when he was three. His younger sister, Janet, lives in Stoke Newington.
Josh is an  easy-going, but not lazy, guy. He cares about the prisoners in his care, possibly because he can easily see himself in their position. He knows the difference between right and wrong, but he's got his own set of beliefs  which informs the way he thinks about life and his job. Okay, so he's brought in a few dodgy items for the prisoners. So what? No one's going to get hurt and that's the important thing for him.
                 Josh is hugely popular with the women, but he uses his humour to hide the fact that he's out of his depth with them. Although he's very attractive and attracted to women, he's a one-woman man and Crystal is the one.
