This is a brutal and honest account of life inside Australia's toughest jails, and all is not as you would expect. Do women rape each other? Do guards really trade 40-cent phone cards for sex? And do you think the most dangerous inmate in Australia is a man? This is the most comprehensive ever account of women's prison life yet.

couldn't stop listening

Publisher's Summary
In 1978, Warren Fellows was convicted of heroin trafficking between Thailand and Australia. He was sentenced to life imprisonment in the notorious Bang Kwang prison - better known as the Bangkok Hilton. It was the beginning of 12 years of hell in a place where sewer rats and cockroaches are the only nutritious food, where prison guards laugh as they deliver pulverising blows, and where the worst punishment is the khun deo - solitary confinement, Thai style.
The Damage Done is one man's story of an unthinkable nightmare. It is not Warren Fellows' plea for forgiveness nor his denial of guilt, but a story of endurance and survival and the abuse of human rights during the decade of a life wasted in leg irons. It is an essential listen: heartbreaking, fascinating, and impossible to pause.

Good Read
Great book, had to keep listening to the audiobook until the finish, then I usually google to see where the person is now. I see the book made him some money, hr got back into drugs or cocaine and eventually turned to God.

Raw telling of a very real story. There would be less drug couriers recruited if this was required reading in senior high school.

A dark reality
An Interesting, shocking and brutal story from the inside of a Thai prison. This is my favourite genre but this story while I appreciate the real and unadulterated account of the true happenings from an entertainment perspective it lacked light. If left me feeling exhausted and heavy.
