Heaven, Jeffrey Archer's final volume in his trilogy of prison diaries, covers the period of his transfer from a medium security prison, HMP Wayland, to his eventual release on parole in July 2003. It includes a shocking account of the traumatic time he spent in the notorious Lincoln jail and the events that led to his incarceration there, and also shines a harsh light on a system that is close to its breaking point.
Told with humor, compassion, and honesty, the diary closes with a thought-provoking manifesto that will be applauded by reform advocates and the prison population alike.

I must say, I never really paid much attention to the prison system nor even gave thought to the level of crime and discrimination that actually occurred in prison. Yes this is the UK system but I can well imagine it is pretty much similar to the US or elsewhere as well. I agree that special treatment cannot be given to any one prisoner because of his standing in society, however, why should he be discriminated because of that? Drugs in the prison? It is ridiculous how prevalent its use is inGot boring from the middleThe 3 book series talks mainly about drug problems in Britain
Brilliant, I was sad to see this trilogy end, (although very glad to see him released I might add!) especially as Jeffrey went to Hollesley Bay, which could have been another instalment... However I understand his reasons for not doing so. I admit to being one of those who thought at the time of his incarceration that he was just another corrupt politician. I stand corrected. What a great bloke, to whom some injustice has certainly been done. I have read quite a few of Jeffery Archer's books now
Good but not as good as the other 2 books. 3.5 stars
More of the same as the second book. Although was it my imagination or did Jeff soften a bit in the final book? Not sure if he became more likable or I became more accepting, but I did feel quite sorry for him in parts.
Much to my surprise, by the end of this (the third of Jeffrey Archer's Prison Diaries"), I actually felt sympathetic towards Archer and his situation, especially as it becomes clear that in their efforts to ensure he doesn't get 'special treatment' due to his celebrity, he actually winds up getting worse treatment than is merited. It is clear that during his time in prison, Archer was exposed to people from different backgrounds and the ins and outs of the British penal system. It makes you
After finding the second instalment was treading water a little I wondered how Archer would keep up any intrigue and interest with a third, and in fact the longest, book of his three part diaries. (Though towards the end he does only include highlights of his full 725 days in prison). I neednt have worried, this in fact turns out to be the most interesting, well informed and poignant of the lot. In Heaven it follows Archers time in North Sea Camp in Boston, a category D prison as well as his
