n July 19, 2001, after a perjury conviction, 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 in South London that houses some of Britain's most violent criminals. During those three weeks, Archer contemplates suicide; his mother dies, and a hundred photographers follow him when he's allowed out to attend her funeral; he's moved to death row because it's the only place with enough security to protect him, a high-profile prisoner; 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 or to ask for advice about their own writing. A Prison Diary is his unforgettable account of these events.

  • A dairy kept by the author of his first 22 days in one of Great Britain's high security prisons. It was compelling reading that tried to show the problems that both the prisoners and guards faced at such a facility.
