These faces have seen it all: the guns. The knives, the fights and the hardship of life behind bars. This book will take you deep inside the mad, bad, drug-infested, cut-throat world of the Scottish prison system, bringing to light the last fifty years of infamous incidents. With a frightening in-depth look at the most notorious penal institutions and the most daunting and fearsome of inmates, as well as those on the outside, this compulsive guide covers them all; from the 'Tax Man', Scotland's most feared enforces, to Walter Scott Ellis, a famous armed robber who only just escaped the sinister fate of the hangman's rope.
