4,000 Days: My Life and Survival in a Bangkok Prison

In 978, author Warren Fellows along with two other suspected drug couriers were convicted of heroin trafficking between Australia and Thailand. As a result, they were sentenced to serve out the rest of their lives in Thai prisons.

Fellows served twelve years in Bangkok's notorious Bang Kwang prison, surviving atrocities and situations that far exceed the limits of most men. Forcing people to live in filth, eat rats, and endure solitary confinement are but a few examples of how these prisoners' human rights were abused beyond imagination. Many of the prisoners turned to heroin to escape the horrible conditions around them, and their addiction was often fed by the prison guards.

Fellows's story is a "Midnight Express" come true. He has written a brutally honest account of how he paid for his crimes in the worst imaginable way.
