Day 89
'The signpost announces the North Sea Camp, one mile. As we approach the entrance to the prison, the first thing that strikes me is that there are no electric gates, no high walls and no razor wire.'
Sixty-seven days after his arrival at HMP Wayland, Jeffrey Archer moved to Category D HMP North Sea Camp. Detailing his remaining incarcerated days until his release on parole from HMP Hollesley Bay on 21 July 2003, day 725, this third and final volume of Jeffrey Archer's prison diaries includes a shocking account of the traumatic time he spent in the notorious Lincoln jail and throws light on a system close to breaking point. From hell to purgatory to the heaven of release, this is master story-teller Jeffrey Archer's own story, in his own words, and shows a man who left hell, determined to campaign for penal reform for those left without a champion inside.
