A Prison Diary Volume III: Heaven

The final volume of Jeffrey Archer's prison diaries A Prison Diary Volume III: Heaven covers the period of his transfer from Wayland to his eventual release on parole in July 2003. It includes a shocking account of the traumatic time he spent in the notorious Lincoln jail and the events that led to his incarceration there - it also throws light on a system that is close to breaking point.. Told with humour compassion and honesty it closes with a thought-provoking manifesto that should be applauded by the Establishment and prison population alike.. Day 115 . Saturday 10th November 2001 . 6.38am. It's all an act. I am hopelessly unhappy dejected and broken. I smile when I am at my lowest I laugh when I see no humour I help others when I need help myself. I am alone. If I were to show any sign even for a moment of what I'm going through I would have to read the details in some tabloid the following day. Everything I do is only a phone call away from a friendly journalist with an open cheque book. I don't know where I have found the strength to maintain this facade and never break down in anyone's presence.
