Hell's Prisoner: The Shocking True Story Of An Innocent Man Jailed For
Eleven Years In Indonesia's Most Notorious Prisons

Product Description

Christopher Parnell was on holiday with his family in Bali when the unthinkable happened. His holiday complex was raided & police claimed to have uncovered 12.5kg of hashish. Parnell & a travelling companion were immediately arrested. His companion, who knew of the hidden drugs in Parnell's apartment, was later released & left Bali as soon as the charges against him were dropped. While Parnell awaited trial, his friend signed a statutory declaration to say that the drugs had belonged to him. He admitted he had been afraid to face Indonesian justice but believed the mix up would be rectified & Parnell released. Instead, Parnell was sentenced to the death penalty. That sentence was later reduced to 20 years & a fine of US$30, 000. Over the next 11 years, Parnell was subjected to unthinkable sessions of torture. Left to starve & fight every day for his survival, Parnell became a man forced to eat everything from cockroaches to human flesh. Prepare yourself for a journey into a world where murder, torture & fights to the death are day-to-day occurrences: where the guards turn a blind eye to the lethal weapons prisoners carry & use almost daily. HELL'S PRISONER is a powerful story of one man's battle to survive in some of the world's most cruel & inhumane prisons, surrounded by murders & sadistic violent criminals. It is an incredible tale of fatalism & bureaucracy, of corruption & the horrors of prison, but most of all it is a no-holds-barred account of what the human spirit can endure.
