| | | On July 19, 2001, 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 that houses some of Britain's most violent criminals. During those three weeks, Archer contemplates suicide; he's moved to the lifer's wing because it's the only place with enough security to protect him, 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. "A Prison Diary is his fascinating account of these events.
| Author Bio| Jeffrey Archer | | Jeffrey Archer was educated in Oxford at Wellington School and Brasenose College, during which time he represented Great Britain as a world-class sprinter. He was elected a member of the House of Commons representing Louth in 1969, becoming its youngest member. He stepped down from his post in 1974 with financial troubles brought about by failed investments. He began writing thrillers to help overcome some of his debts, starting with "Not A Penny More, Not A Penny Less", which became an immediate success. In 1985 he was appointed deputy chairman of the Conservative Party and in 1992 joined the House of Lords. His political thrillers have become international bestsellers, with millions of copies sold. |
