Don Juan

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. 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.
