Officers, Criminals and Amazing Prison Stories
By
Tim Egge
This is Peter Egge’s sixth eBook that he has written on the subject of
prisons. This book is by far his best. It is full of great short stories about
officers, some of the worst criminals in Australian history, and the true
realities that happen behind those 30 foot high brick walls.
Peter brings to life many of the officers that worked in the 1960s, 1970s
and 1980s and the way they operated within the prison system in those
times, which were a lot different than today’s era.
The criminals and the crimes they have committed will astound you as
you read the true stories behind their crimes and their time whilst in
prison. Some of these criminals are amongst the hardest and toughest
in the world. Their lives and the crimes they have committed will
sometimes leave you shocked.
The author also writes about numerous prison riots ranging from the
world’s worst prison riots, at Attica in America, various New South Wales
prisons, through to Fremantle Prison in Western Australia that eventually
led to the closure of that historic prison.
Some of the stories you will find funny, some serious, and on occasions
gruesome, but they are always factual and truthful.
Once again, Robert A Wood has provided his brilliant artistic skills with
some outstanding sketches and paintings. I have no doubt that people
with artistic ability will admire his work.
Peter worked in the New South Wales prison system from 1971 to 1986.
He worked his way through the ranks to the position of Senior Assistant
Superintendent and was a Commissioned Officer.
His stories come from firsthand experience and from those he worked
with. Some of the prison officers were hard and stern men. You will get
to know these men as you read through the pages.
The Long Bay Prison Complex, during the 60s, 70s and 80s was a hard
place for hard men. I know that if the subject of prison officers,
criminals and prisons are of interest to you, you will thoroughly enjoy this
book. It is a great read based on fact and enlightened by the detail.
