The Damage Done: Twelve Years of Hell in a Bangkok Prison


#242
Title: The Damage Done: Twelve Years of Hell in a Bangkok Prison
Authors: Warren Fellows with Jack Marx
Publisher: Asia Books
Year: 1997
Country: Thailand
221 pages

Fellows makes a reasonable case that despite his crime, Thailand's prisons are inhumane. I don't have any reason to argue this, and he provides plenty of evidence to substantiate it. This rather grim narrative is not artful and could use an editor; however, its roughness as a narrative does contribute to its apparent sincerity and lack of artifice.
