A sequence of dramatic events, with devastating consequences, would see him end up incarcerated, in one of the world''s most dangerous prisons. His story is about a broken man''s will and determination to survive and to go on to uncover dramatic secrets, never previously exposed, of life inside the Cape''s Pollsmoor prison.
