Hell's Prisoner. The Shocking True Story of an Innocent Man Jained For Eleven Years in Indonesia's Most Notorious Prisons

Edinburgh: Mainstream Publishing. Paperback. Hell's Prisoner by Christopher V. V. Parbnell. Water damage to end few pages. Couple of slight creases to cover. Prepare yourself for a journey into the Indoneasian penal system. A world where murder, torture and fights to the death are the norm. Where the guards turn a blind eye to the lethal weapons prisoners carry.... and use almost daily. This book is the powerful story of one man's battle to survive in some of the world's crullest and most inhumane prisons. The author, wrongly accused of drug trafficking, found himself catapulted into the maelstrom of madness and degradation that exists within Indonesian jails. Surrounded by murderers and sadistic violent criminals, he soon learned that life can be as cheap as a bowl of rice or a cigarette. During his imprisonment, Parnell was subjected to unthinkable sessions of torture, both physical and psychologigcal. Left to starve and fight every day for his survival, he was forced to eat everything from cockroaches to human flesh. This is an incredible tale of fatalism and bureaucracy, of corruption and the horrors of prison, but most of all it is a no-holds-barred account of what the human spirit can endure.
