"This book is about my journey through the Australian prison system. You'll have heard a few of these stories before, but not like this. It's a step-by-step history of my twenty three years behind bars; what day-to-day life was really like in jail, what I did to survive and why I'll never go back. It's not a nice story. I was not a nice prisoner."

This book is Chopper's redemption. It is the real story of the man, the criminal and the prisoner, told with black humour and surprising insight.
