A Fair Cop by Michael Bunting

How PC 451 Became Prisoner DK8639



Michael Bunting has taken his scribbles accounting his horrific experience from police officer to prisoner and turned them into a fantastic, honest and graphic read.



Michael had been a regular PC, after following his dream and joining the force following in his father's footsteps. After a routine patrol call however, his life was turned upside-down and he found himself not only in court on charges others found ridiculous, but subsequently sentenced to a terrifying prison term.



Once in prison he found himself spat at, beaten in front of guards, attacked in the showers, had buckets of urine thrown over him, had his food tampered with and came frighteningly close to suicide.



Michael doesn't preach, doesn't exaggerate or use over fussy turns of phrase. His book is an honest and open account written in a style we can all relate to, making it all the more horrifying. My heart didn't stop pounding from the judges decision till his accounts of the day of release.



Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.....a must read for everyone! Our eye's need to be opened to the corruption going on in the prison system!



10/10
