Book description
On 9th August 2001, twenty-two days after Jeffrey Archer was sentenced
to four years in prison for perjury, he was transferred from HMP
Belmarsh, a double-A Category high-security prison in south London, to
HMP Wayland, a Category C establishment in Norfolk. He served
sixty-seven days in Wayland and during that time, as this account
testifies, encountered not only the daily degradations of a dangerously
over-stretched prison service, but the spirit and courage of his fellow
inmates...
