And the truth will set you free - By: DS Holland, 04 Jan 2007 
This is a book that will keep you glued to the pages. It will give you an insight into the corruption that existsin the world of the 'War on drugs' which is causing so much heartache. Very well written piece, that will take you on this man's harrowing journey through the penal systemin Venezuela, to his eventual release & repatriation. This is a life changing story that will blow you away!
Must buy! - By: Mr. A. S. Maguire, 04 Oct 2006 
This is a terrific but disturbing insight into how justice is done outside of the modern world. I encourage anyone to read it if not only for the eye-opening accounts of day-to-day prison life. Many parts of the book lead you to ask yourself "what would i have donein that situation" or "how would i have handled it". The answer is you wouldn't which is why this book is a fantastic advertisement for keeping your feet firmly on the ground & not doing anything as stupid as trying to smuggle drugs through a corrupt ridden country. Buy it, read it, love it - take my word for it you won't be able to put it down.
