Bestsellerautor Jeffrey Archer wurde am 9. August wegen Meineids zu vier Jahren Gefängnis verurteilt. Im zweiten Band seiner Erinnerungen berichtet Archer von seiner Zeit im Gefängnis Wayland in Norfolk und von seinen dortigen Mitgefangenen.
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 . . .
Prison Diary Volume II: Purgatory is an extraordinary work of non-fiction, where Jeffrey Archer reveals what life is like inside the walls of Britain's prisons.
