Summary
A flicker of light almost appears at the end of the tunnel for prisoner FF8282, as he is transferred to North Sea Camp near Boston, Lincolnshire, a D-category prison. Under a less strict regime, the prisoners can enjoy a more relaxed set of rules, while slowly preparing to someday rejoin the world outside the walls. However, a minor breach of conditions gets him sent off to the notorious HMP Lincoln facility for twenty-two days, where more traumatic experiences await.
Heaven is the third book in Jeffrey Archer’s bestselling series The Prison Diaries. In this final volume Archer reflects on his time spent in prison, leading up to his release on parole in July 2003.
An eye-opening insight into prison life, exploring the humanity to be found behind bars, while simultaneously highlighting a system failing society as a whole and as individuals, where inmates leave worse off and more dangerous than when they first entered.
Jeffrey Archer is a bestselling British author and former politician. He was educated at Oxford and went on to become a Member of Parliament, the deputy chair of the Conservative Party as well as sitting in the House of Lords. His political career ended in scandal and he turned to writing and he has been published in over 275 million copies worldwide.
He is perhaps most famous for the Clifton Chronicles and his blockbuster Kane and Abel which was number one on the New York Time's Bestseller list and inspired a popular miniseries starring Peter Strauss and Sam Neill.
After he was imprisoned for perjury in 2001, he wrote his highly acclaimed non-fiction series, Prison Diaries - Hell, Purgatory and Heaven - which were inspired by his experiences and loosely structured around Dante's Divine Comedy.

Fantastic
Talented narrator for a brilliant author. An easy read and so enlightening about the legal system and its flaws. How he rose above such a traumatic ordeal is incredible. Respect.

excellent narration
I do enjoy Jeffrey Archer books, and this being true makes it even better. Thank goodness it isn't him reading it though, because he is very irritating as a narrator, unlike the brilliant Johnathan Keeble.
To be completely fair to Jeffrey he was treated extremely badly by the system, I didn't realise at the time how unfair it was because sadly he is a very irritating person and you can kind of see why. However, you can't take it away from him he is a very good story teller. Even though he repeats himself a lot, probably to emphasise the boredom of incarceration, he wrote a book of short stories which having listened to this book it is apparent he used the experience as acurrate background.
I thoroughly enjoyed all three os the prison histories. It was an eye opener into the way prisons are run... High time they were tightened up in my opinion.
