Product Information

Prison is harsh enough, but as a foreigner (“farang”) in a strange land, jail time is an even more horrifying reality.

Go places you’ve only seen in your nightmares, to a world in which few survive, and none emerge unscathed. Prison is harsh enough, but as a foreigner ( farang ) in a strange land, jail time is an even more horrifying reality. Prisoners were kept in crowded cells where they slept on the floor in spaces too small for their bodies.It is narrated very well by a non annoying American reader who brings to life the daily hell of the prison the story is set in. Other then the lack of personal statements the audio book was easy listening some good stories but no real attachment to Hoy as he’s just telling the tails of others.

There are unforgettable and horrifying scenes here in this spare and sombre memoir of this experience of the hanging of a child, of his first farewell with his father who leaves him an inheritance of a knife and a spoon, and of his last goodbye at Buchenwald his father's corpse is already cold let alone the long months of survival under unconscionable conditions.
