Product Information
'The sun is shining through the bars of my window on what must be a glorious summer day. I've been incarcerated in a cell five paces by three for twelve and a half hours, and will not be let out again until midday; eighteen and a half hours of solitary confinement. There is a child of seventeen in the cell below me who has been charged with shoplifting - his first offence, not even convicted - and he is being locked up for eighteen and a half hours, unable to speak to anyone. This is Great Britain in the twenty-first century, not Turkey, not Nigeria, not Kosovo, but Britain.' On Thursday 19 July 2001, after a perjury trial lasting seven weeks, Jeffrey Archer was sentenced to four years in jail. He was to spend the first twenty-two days and fourteen hours in HMP Belmarsh, a double A-Category high-security prison in South London, which houses some of Britain's most violent criminals. This is the author's daily record of the time he spent there.Product Identifiers

Butlins or Belmarsh?
Life in Belmarsh for Mr Archer seemed to be a 'breeze'. Somewhat different to the picture painted in Ross Kemp's recent TV programme on the same establishment.In the end it was all a bit 'samey', but I must admit I finished the book in quick order. Descriptions of the other inmates were first class.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

I far prefer Archer’s fiction.
I loved the Clifton Chronicles, and The Fourth Estate – but don’t think I will crack on with subsequent prison diaries.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
