Description
Pieter Tritton was caught in an Ecuador hotel room with 8kg of cocaine, a consequence of his own planning and organisation. He was sentenced to 12 years in one of the world's deadliest prison systems, where gun fights, executions, and riots were a part of everyday life. As a Brit banged up abroad, he had to learn how to survive - and fast - because one wrong move would mean death. This is the insider account of what it's like to live in a place worse than hell, where survival is a daily struggle. Tritton's story is one of resilience and determination, as he navigates the harsh realities of life behind bars. His account is a gripping and unflinching look at the world of organised crime and the prison system, where the boundaries between life and death are constantly blurred.
