Summary

On July 19, 2001, Jeffrey Archer-international bestselling author, now known as Prisoner FF 8282-was sentenced to four years in prison and spent the first twenty-two days in HMP Belmarsh, a high-security prison that houses some of Britain's most violent criminals. During those three weeks, Archer contemplates suicide; he's moved to the lifer's wing because it's the only place with enough security to protect him; his cellmate sells a story to the tabloids, prompting Archer's move to solitary; and prisoners and guards routinely line up outside his cell to ask him to sign books. A Prison Diary is his fascinating account of these events.
