Day 115 Saturday 10th November 2001 6.38am It's all an act. I am hopelessly unhappy dejected & broken. I smile when I am at my lowest I laugh when I see no humour I help others when I need help myself. I am alone. If I were to show any sign even for a moment of what I'm going through I would have to read the details in some tabloid the following day. Everything I do is only a phone call away from a friendly journalist with an open cheque book. I don't know where I have found the strength to maintain this facade & never break down in anyone's presence. The final volume of Jeffrey Archer's prison diaries covers the period of his transfer from Wayland to his eventual release on parole in July 2003. It

Includes:: a shocking account of the traumatic time he spent in the notorious Lincoln jail & the events that led to his incarceration there -- it also throws light on a system that is close to breaking point. Told with humour compassion & honesty it closes with a thought-provoking manifesto that should be applauded by the Establishment & prison population alike.
