Jimmy Holland

    Jimmy Holland era un tempo considerato uno dei detenuti più violenti del sistema penale scozzese. Ha poi incanalato questa formidabile energia per diventare un autore di successo. La sua transizione da una vita di incarcerazione e notorietà all'attività di scrittore è una notevole storia di trasformazione e redenzione. Gli scritti di Holland offrono probabilmente una prospettiva unica e schietta, plasmata dalle sue straordinarie esperienze di vita.

    Lost in Care
    • Jimmy Holland was born into a family suffering at the hands of their drunk and abusive father. At the age of just two weeks, he was placed into care, and the beginning of a life lived in a constantly changing environment of homes, authorities, and institutions began. Let down and frequently abused, it wasn't long before Jimmy strayed onto the wrong side of the tracks. Before long, the mold for a problem child was set. He quickly turned from substance abuse to drug use, and in turn, to crime. He soon became associated with the ringleaders of an infamous gang responsible for prison riots and hostage taking. A heart-felt, shocking, and despairing insight into life as a state-raised boy, Lost in Care is the heart-rending tale of a man who has lost his childhood and also lost his way.

      Lost in Care
    • Meet the hardest men from a country where the streets are the most dangerous and the gangsters and criminals are the scariest in Britain. This book takes you inside the rough, mad, bad, drug-infested, cut-throat, back-stabbing world of the Scottish prison system. It covers them all from murderers to armed- robbers.
