Product Description

Product Description

In 1978 Warren Fellows was convicted of heroin trafficking between Thailand and Australia. He was sentenced to life imprisonment in the notorious Bang Kwang prison - better known as the Bangkok Hilton. It was the beginning of 12 years of hell in a place where sewer rats and cockroaches are the only nutritious food, where prison guards laugh as they deliver pulverising blows and where the worst punishment is the khun deo - solitary confinement, Thai style. The Damage Done is one man's story of an unthinkable nightmare. It is not Warren Fellows' plea for forgiveness nor his denial of guilt, but a story of endurance and survival and the abuse of human rights during the decade of a life wasted in leg irons. It is an essential read: hearbreaking, fascinating and impossible to put down.

5.0 out of 5 stars A horrifying account of one mans living nightmare, 9 Aug 2000
By Darren Ibson (Chelmsford, Essex United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cover to cover in a day!, 23 Jun 2004
I could not put this book down, my life totally stopped for a day. There is not one single other book on this planet that has effected me as much as "The damage done".
This book is certainly not a means for warren fellows to make you think him innocent, he freely admits his guilt, but by the last page you will certainly think that this man, or any other prisoner in the three thai prisons you visit with Mr Fellows along the way, did not deserve the severe punishment inflicted upon him daily, in the most horrific conditions imaginable.
You can almost smell feel and hear everything that Fellows describes he is truly a talented writer and anyone will admire this amazing man for dragging up the worst twelve years of his life from the depths of his soul, and putting it down on paper for everyone to experiance.
I will now never ever set foot in Thailand and anyone who reads this will certainly never smuggle any drug in or out of Thailand.
This book will definitley shock you and may very well break your heart but it will most certainly make you question the nature of the human race and the depths of depravity mankind will sink to given the oppurtunity.

5.0 out of 5 stars An emotional read, 10 Mar 2007
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.
