Australia's Most Infamous Jail: Inside the Walls of Pentridge Prison by James Phelps

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Interior and binding are still excellent.

Welcome to Pentridge, Australia's most infamous prison.

Beginning with a gang of guards and a handful of convicts, for more than 145 years, Pentridge housed a who's who of Australian criminals and Melbourne's underworld, including Ned Kelly and Mark 'Chopper' Read.

From solving the mystery of Ned Kelly's missing skull to the shocking truth about who really cut off Chopper's ears - Australia's Most Infamous Jail includes true and uncensored accounts of inmates (including a convicted serial killer, a mass murderer and the real Romper Stomper), guards, archaeologists and even a former governor-general.

This is gritty, true crime storytelling on steroids - about what life was really like behind the bluestone walls of Pentridge. (publisher blurb)
