Description
Art student Nick Wood's decision to sell a few Ecstasy tablets at a party has severe consequences. He is sentenced to two years in prison and finds himself locked up in HMP Blackthorpe, a facility notorious for its medieval-like conditions and brutal violence. To survive, Nick turns to his artistic skills, selling pictures to visitors in an attempt to earn protection money from the drug barons who rule the prison. But can this fragile lifeline be enough to keep him safe, or will he become a victim of the hard men who govern HMP Blackthorpe? Based on the author's own experiences, this book offers a gripping and unflinching portrayal of life inside one of the UK's most notorious prisons.
