Synopsis: |
One man's story of life in "The Joy" - compulsive, chilling and frank. A no-holds-barred account of a criminal's time in the notorious Dublin prison, as revealed to journalist Paul Howard. This extraordinary life story tells it all. The desperate lifestyle of a junkie; bullying and savage beatings among the prisoners; ingenious drug-smuggling ploys; the despairing cry for help of a failed suicide attempt. But alongside the pain there is humor - from the hilarity of World Cup celebrations to the distraction of a beautiful aerobics teacher, from binging on altar wine to the shortest-ever 'hunger strike'. The first ever glimpse of Mountjoy Prison - from the inside. This title is illustrated with black & white photographs. |
