This is a true story of a journey to hell and back.
In 1994 John Hoskison was a highly respected and successful professional golfer. Then, one evening, after a tournament, he broke a rule of his life by drinking and driving and on the way home he hit and killed a cyclist.
Hoskison knew he'd never escape the pain he'd caused and felt a prison sentence was justified.
As a non-violent first offender, he could have expected to serve part of his sentence in an open prison, but was instead consigned to some of the toughest in Britain; places of medieval-like squalor and violence.
REVIEWS"
"This is a must read book. Not just an insight into how prison really is but a real life story that illustrates just how quickly your life can turn upside down. There but for the grace of God..." ~John Francome, Author and Champion Jockey.
"...a searingly honest account. John Hoskison tells it like it is, as opposed to what gets portrayed on TV or at the cinema." ~Professor David Wilson, Professor of Criminology at Birmingham City University; former Prison Governor. January, 2012

Forget whatever you may hear about prison life from the government or the media or whomever - this book is by someone who has actually experienced the current conditions.Imagine taking yourself out of society - even five years ago - and then dropping yourself back in now. Think of all the things that have changed between then and now. How would you cope, trying to catch up?
A compelling read.
T.W. Wilkin
This book is superb. Do not be put off by imitations. Life in jail in the UK is described here......not the right wing stuff about high class meals and holiday camps!As stated in the introduction, this should be required reading for anyone connected with the criminal justice system.
Please read it.
