A Prison Diary Volume III: Heaven

Description

The final volume of Jeffrey Archer's prison diaries covers the period of his transfer from Wayland to his eventual release on parole in July 2003. It includes a shocking account of the traumatic time he spent in the notorious Lincoln jail and the events that led to his incarceration there - it also throws light on a system that is close to breaking point. Told with humour, compassion and honesty, it closes with a thought-provoking manifesto that should be applauded by the Establishment and prison population alike.

Jeffrey Archer is the bestselling author of eleven novels. In August 2001, he was sentenced to four years in prison for perjury. During that time he wrote three Prison Diaries. He was released in July 2003.
