Australia's Toughest Prisons:  INMATES - By James Phelps

Australia's Toughest Prisons: INMATES - By James Phelps

These are the stories about Australia's hardest inmates, from Australia's hardest inmates: the true and uncensored account of life inside Australia’s toughest prisons.
 

Martin Bryant – who killed 35 people and injured another 23 at Port Arthur in 1996 – is a 160 kg slob who trades sex for chocolate in Risdon Prison. Nineteen years after Australia’s worst massacre, his blond hair is gone, and so is his self-righteous smirk . . . but he is as evil as ever, showing no remorse for the crimes that shook the nation. He is just one of the killers you will meet in Australia's Toughest Prisons: Inmates.

 

You will meet the alleged hitman and undisputed hardman called Goldie, feared by both prisoners and guards alike. John Reginald Killick will tell you how he really escaped from Silverwater Jail in a stolen helicopter and survived Pentridge Prison's notorious Hell Block. And former Rugby League star Craig Field will tell you his incredible story of how one wrong pub punch landed him in prison limbo. 

 

From the rise of ISIS gangs, the lethal underground drug and tobacco trade, and the threat of contraband phones, to shiv fights, brawls and white-collar crime beat downs, the secret lives of Australia's most dangerous men will be on full display.
