Product Description
Product Description
Meet the hardest men from a country where the streets are the most dangerous and the gangsters and criminals are the scariest in Britain. These faces have seen it all: the guns, the knives, the fights and the toughest prisons. This book will take you deep inside the rough, mad, bad, drug-infested, cut-throat, back-stabbing world of the Scottish prison system, bringing to light the last fifty years of infamous incidents that have taken place behind bars in some of the highest security prisons. With a frightening in-depth look at the most notorious prisons and institutions and the most daunting and fearsome of inmates, this compulsive guide covers them all from murderers to armed-robbers, a female crime clan with a family feel to it and some of the most notorious cases in Scottish criminal history.
About the Author
Jimmy Holland spent most of his life in a maze of institutions from children's homes and foster care to young offenders institutes and high security prisons. His involvement in hostage-taking sieges in prison has earned him a reputation as one of the most dangerous criminals in Scotland. His first book Lost in Care was a bestseller. Stephen Richards, investigative journalist and author, has written and co-written a wide range of bestselling books as well as working on TV documentaries including Panorama.

A roller coaster ride with some of the staunchest exponents of Buckfast you'd ever be unlucky enough to spill a pint o' heavy over.

I bought this for my husband. This is the first time he has said a book was poorly written.
So unless you really want to know about these characters and don't mind reading material that seems
to have been put together by an uneducated child, steer clear.
