The diary of one man's experiences of his time in prison written
over 300 days as he reels from and makes sense of being under lock
and key. A white collar criminal he sees himself as someone who
should not really be in prison - as 'a good man' for whom his
incarceration is doubly punitive, not practically necessary or
achieving much other than the degradation and powerlessness of
being in prison. But as time passes he accepts his fate and settles
down to the regime, helping others and using the experience to best
advantage. Captures the essence of the sudden incarceration of a
previously respectable white collar offender whose reputation and
comfortable life have been turned upside down. Not only from
self-interest, does he try to explain the futility of locking up
people like himself making the book of interest to prison reformers
as well as general readers. A rare white collar account of prison:
Contains insights for anyone interested in prisoners and
imprisonment; Set out as a diary and very easy to read; Illustrated
by the author; Humorous, sometimes dark, critical, insightful and
of particular interest to prison reformers. Will Phillips is a
singer-songwriter and performer whose on-stage experiences include
as lead singer in bands and appearing in musicals such as Camelot
and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Having also
worked as a chef and catering events consultant and organizer, in
2010 he found himself in prison for fraudulent offences. The author
of several short stories, including Ouija Board and Curse, he
spends his free time at home playing his guitar in the company of
his Siamese cat and best friend Dexter.
