A Prison Diary Volume I by Jeffrey Archer
Jeffrey Archer's diary of his first three weeks imprisonment is a raw account of life in a top-security jail in Britain. It is also an indictment of the British penal system and should be of interest to anyone concerned with the improvement of our penal system.
"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 Great Britain in the 21st century, not Turkey, not Nigeria, not Kosovo, but BritainThis same young man will now be spending at least a fortnight with murderers, rapists, burgiars and drug addicts. Are these the best tutors he can learn from?" Monday 23 July 2001
Jeffrey Archer has not received an advance for the publication of his Prison Diary. He has also instructed his publishers, Macmillan, to pay the money he would have received from newspaper serialisation directly to charities concerned with drug rehabilitation and victim support.
