Purgatory (A Prison Diary #2)
Author: Jeffrey Archer
Desc: On August 9 2001 22 days after Archer--now known as Prisoner FF8282--was sentenced to four years in prison for perjury he was transferred from a maximum security prison in London to HMP Wayland a medium security prison in Norfolk. For the next 67 days as he waited to be reclassified for an "open " minimum security prison he encountered not only the daily degradations of a dangerously overstretched prison system but also the spirit and courage of his fellow inmates. Purgatory: A Prison Diary Volume 2 is Archer's frank shocking sometimes humorous sometimes horrifying account of those 67 days.
