San Pedro is Bolivia's most notorious prison. Small-time drug
smuggler Thomas McFadden found himself on the inside. Marching
Powder is the story of how he navigated this dark world of gangs,
drugs and corruption to come out on top. Thomas found himself in a
bizarre world, the prison reflecting all that is wrong with South
American society. Prisoners have to pay an entrance fee and buy
their own cells (the alternative is to sleep outside and die of
exposure), prisoners' wives and children often live inside too,
high quality cocaine is manufactured and sold from the prison.
Thomas ended up making a living by giving backpackers tours of the
prison - he became a fixture on the backpacking circuit and was
named in the Lonely Planet guide to Bolivia. When he was told that
for a bribe of $5000 his sentence could be overturned, it was the
many backpackers who'd passed through who sent him the money.
Written by lawyer Rusty Young, Marching Powder - sometimes
shocking, sometimes funny - is a riveting story of survival.
