Product Description
Product Description
Welcome to Hotel Kerobokan, or Hotel K, the tongue-in-cheek nickname for Kerobokan Jail, Bali’s most notorious prison. It is a dark, bizarre and truly frightening underworld of sex, drugs, violence and squalor. Hotel K has become home to a procession of the infamous and the tragic, from the Bali Bombers to the Bali Nine. In Hotel Kerobokan’s filthy, cramped and disease-ridden cells, a ‘United Nations of prisoners’ - Australians, Americans, Germans, Brazilians, French, English, Scottish, Mexicans, Italians - live crushed together in misery. Petty thieves and small-time drug users share cells with killers, rapists and gangsters. Hardened drug traffickers sleep alongside unlucky tourists, who’ve seen their holiday turn from paradise to hell over an ecstasy tablet. Hotel K is the shocking inside story of the jail and its inmates, revealing the wild ‘sex nights’ organised by corrupt guards for prisoners who have the money to pay, the rampant drug use, the suicides and killings, and the days out at the beach. It takes you behind the grim walls and exposes the jail’s role in supplying high-grade drugs to tourists and dealers on the outside, the gang that rules the jail with terror, the corruption that means anything is for sale, and the squalor and misery endured by prisoners in stinking, overcrowded conditions.
From the Back Cover
Welcome to Hotel Kerobokan, or Hotel K, the tongue-in-cheek nickname for holiday Mecca Bali's most notorious jail. Its walls touch paradise; sparkling oceans, surf beaches and palm trees on one side, while on the other it's a dark, bizarre and truly frightening underworld of sex, drugs, violence and squalor. Hotel K has been home to a procession of the infamous and the tragic: Muslim terror bombers, a Balinese King, Gordon Ramsay's brother, surfers and unlucky tourists. A United Nations of prisoners - English, Italians, Brazilians, Germans, French, Australians, Scottish, Mexicans and many more - live crushed together in filthy and disease-ridden cells. Petty thieves and small-time drug users share cells with killers, rapists, and gangsters. Hardened drug traffickers sleep alongside tourists who've seen their holiday turn from paradise to hell over one ecstasy pill. Hotel K is the shocking inside story of the jail and its inmates revealing the wild 'sex nights' organised by corrupt guards for prisoners who have the money to pay, the rampant drug use, the killings made to look like suicides, the days out at the beach, the escapes. It takes you behind the grim white walls and exposes the jail's role in supplying high-grade drugs to tourists and dealers on the outside, the gang that rules the jail with terror, the corruption that means anything is for sale - including a fully catered Italian jail wedding, or a cell upgraded with plasma TV and Bose sound system. The truth about the dark heart of Bali explodes off the page.

Almost finished reading this book, what an excellent read, it is quite scarie to think that someone could do this to anyone and it makes you feel like you dont want to fly any more. I wanted to go to Bali but this book has put me off.
