Chronicle In Favor Of Books Hell (A Prison Diary #1)

DAY 5 MONDAY 23 JULY 2001 5.53AM 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.

Appraise Of Books Hell (A Prison Diary #1)

Good read. Grew up in the uk with archer being a prominent figure. Interesting to read about his time in prison.

Interesting insights into prison life and the British penal system but too sanctimonious for me.

I had been reading Jeffrey Archer's books for several years when one day I got quite a shock.Archer had been sentenced to serve time in prison !What's more,it was no ordinary prison. It was Britain's notorious high security prison,Belmarsh. He was to be kept with violent criminals.His stay at Belmarsh lasted twenty two days. He was kept in a tiny cell in solitary confinment.And straightaway,he devised a coping strategy. He picked up a pen and started writing again.The result was the three

The millionaire author and lord is sentenced to four years for perjury (he elides over the specifics of his case), and details his 21 days at Londons Belmarsh Prison while waiting on appeal. Its an interesting look at the British penal system, which seems to suffer from some of the same defects at the American one (too many inside for drugs, too many first offenders turned into career criminals by associating with them on the inside, not nearly enough education or other incentives to improve).

The upper class Delboy of the Common spends some time in jail.Actually Jef meets a real life Delboy in the clink...Its all been said on here. Archer gets banged up and spends the entire book moaning about the food and acting as if hes on a survival program. Its exactly the kind of thing one would imagine from a Conservative Toff who has to live among the rif raf. Pretty much everyone bows to his lordship. The good old British class system automatically kicks in, even in prison - and people know

The first of a series of three books describing Archer's spell in Prison. Jeffrey Archer, being his typical self, utilised his time extremely judiciously to write diaries while he was banged up in prison, which he describes as an opportunity to experience something that one wouldn't usually do. And with that spell, he came out with these non-fiction masters.JA's style of writing is not exactly adept for non-fiction, and certainly not memoirs or diaries. Therefore one can see a departure from the

The best part about listening to audio books is the ability to determine when a piece of writing is overwrought or too verbose. Since I cannot skip a paragraph or a page, often, this malady makes me quit the book and choose another. This was not the case with Jeffery Archers memoir of his first three weeks in prison. I listened to it even when I had only 10 minutes drive because I wanted to hear more.The fall from greatness alone creates tension: Archer was not only a bestselling novelist but
