Product Description
Product Description
Think about the most wretched day of your life. Maybe it was when someone you loved died, or when you were badly hurt in an accident, or a day when you were so terrified you could scarcely bear it. No imagine 4,000 of those days in one big chunk.
In 1978, Warren Fellows was convicted in Thailand of heroin trafficking and was sentenced to life imprisonment. The Damage Done is his story of an unthinkable nightmare in a place where sewer rats and cockroaches are the only nutritious food, and where the worst punishment is the khun deo - solitary confinement, Thai style.
Fellows was certainly guilty of his crime, but he endured and survived human-rights abuses beyond imagination. This is not his plea for forgiveness, nor his denial of guilt; it is the story of an ordeal that no one would wish on their worst enemy. It is an essential read: heartbreaking, fascinating and impossible to put down.

Format:Paperback
Warren Fellows, a convicted drug dealer, suffered at the hands of inmates, guards and the appalling conditions inside the notorious Bang Kwang gaol in Bangkok. Although no doubt guilty, Fellows suffered unimaginable horrors which would surely test the most hardened criminal mind. His ordeal can only be described as a living nightmare including beatings, malnutrition, disease and the onset of madness.
On Reading this, you can only begin to imagine the humiliation and suffering a human being is capable of inflicting on another. A must read book.

I'm not going to give the plot away. (No spoilers here). Warren NEVER ASKS
OR EXPECTS ANY sympathy from the reader, what he has done was wrong, he knew that, but the story he tells if of what it's like in Prison in Thailand. It should make you scared. Any person thinking of buying selling drugs in Thailand should read this book first, it should be part of the kit, and if this book doesn't scare you, nothing will.
I have done prison visits in Thailand. more so Pattaya, and even that just visiting is scary, .
So read it, and be assured you are wise never to think about smuggling
And Thailand.
As for Warren Fellows, he has written the book, but has never "cashed in" and done
Anything else, so for that l do give him credit.

At first I kept thinking, 'well you shouldn't have smuggled heroin then!" but then as the story goes on you realise no one should have to go through what this guy did, and you actually start to feel sorry for him. He admits he did wrong, and doesn't ask for people to forgive him for smuggling heroin, but the torture that he experienced is horrific. He says so himself that he is lucky to come out alive.
From confinement rooms to mutiny... this book keeps you glued. I read this book in 3 days and couldn't put it down.
