'When Andrew Fraser's world collapsed after 30 years as a high profile criminal lawyer he could hardly have imagined what would follow. Thrown into prison after cocaine use bought him undone, he was to experience the very worst that the Australian prison system has to offer. Placed in maximum-security he discovered that he was to serve his sentence with hard-core criminals who had committed some of Australia's most heinous crimes. In this house of horrors Andrew had to tread a careful path in order to survive. Along the way he became a confidant of sadistic serial murderer, Peter Dupas. This was to be the key to Dupas being charged with a third murder - that of Mersina Halvagis. Andrew relates his harrowing experiences of the justice system, as a prisoner, and on the stand as a witness in a murder trial. Andrew tells what life is like in a maximum-security prison and how he survived day-to-day, living with murderers, psychopaths, peodophiles and the mentally insane. With little likely-hood of release these prisoners have little to lose. Nothing can prepare you for that!' (Publisher's blurb)
