Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Day 22At last the great electric gates of Belmarsh slide open and we begin our journey east. My temporary moving residence is a compartment four foot by three with a plastic seat. I feel nauseous within ten minutes and am covered in sweat within fifteen.After twenty-two days incarcerated at HMP Belmarsh, Jeffrey Archer was moved to the Category C HMP Wayland in Norfolk. In this, the second volume of his prison diaries, Archer recounts the sixty-seven days he spent at Wayland, encountering not only the daily degradations of a dangerously over-stretched prison service, but the spirit and courage of his fellow inmates. In this personal and often touching account, Archer gives us a raw, astute examination of the conditions in which he and his fellow inmates lived as he came to terms with his own version of purgatory.Praise for THE PRISON DIARIES'Archer paints a bleak but true picture of life in prison . . . it is vivid and disturbing, and will reach a vastly wider audience than any academic treatise or political pamphlet on the subject' Ann Widdecombe, New Statesman'A chilling insight into the reality of life inside Britain's jails'Daily Mail
