Jimmy Holland was born into a turbulent family life and a broken home. He spent his childhood in a succession of homes and institutions. Let down and abused, it wasn't long before Jimmy strayed onto the wrong side of the tracks.

In his frank telling of his story, he explains how friendship was vital to him, yet he often lost touch as he was passed along through the system. With only brief periods spent with his brothers and sporadic contact with his mother over thirty years, Jimmy spiralled into drug addiction and crime.

Inevitably imprisoned, he became associated with the ringleaders of an infamous gang responsible for prison riots and hostage-taking. The lost little boy had become a feared and tortured man. A heart-felt, shocking and profoundly moving insight into life as a state-raised boy, Lost in Care is the heart-rending tale of a man who lost his childhood and lost his way.
