This is a true story of a journey to hell and back. In 1994 John Hoskison was a highly respected and successful professional golfer. One evening he shattered his world when he broke a discipline he had maintained for twenty years and accepted a drink before driving home. This single moment of weakness had tragic consequences. On the short journey he hit and killed a cyclist and was sentenced to three years in prison. Devastated by his actions Hoskison was thrown into an unimaginable world of regret and remorse. He knew he would never escape the pain he had caused and thought a prison sentence totally justified. Only one thing saves Hoskison - the incredible attitude adopted by the widow. The story describes the forgiveness he receives which acts as a catalyst for his survival. As a first time offender Hoskison was led to believe he would spend time in an 'open' prison, the sort he had read about in the papers. Instead he spends his time in some of the toughest prisons in Britain. The story grips from the start when Hoskison swaps the safety of green fairways for the medieval squalor of HMP Wandsworth, where drug taking and violence are rife and prison officers can throw victims to the hard men. Reviews "This is a must read book. Not just an insight into how prison really is but a real life story that illustrates just how quickly your life can turn upside down
