The Damage Done - 12 years of hell in a Bangkok Prison
By Warren Fellows
Warren Fellows found himself transported from a life of western normality
to a life of hell inside the Bangkok prison system. This is a story that
needed to be told (and re-told), not only for the sake of Warren's sanity
but for the sake of humanity.
Warren was no saint by any means, but no one, no matter what the crime,
deserves to be subjected to such an alien hell as spending one night in
one of these places (let alone 12 years)
It is hard to imagine being chained to a wall in a small dark stone cell stinking of shit & piss
with 12+ other prisoners, one bucket for defecation, savage rats attacking
you while you sleep, cockroaches, beatings & worse!
Its even harder to imagine how he survived. (many of his peers did not)
It is important to remember that for every story we hear there are 100+
that are languishing alone & forgotten with no family/support, often
left to die alone in these foreign hellholes.
In Warrens own words "if my recollection of the horrors I experienced can change
the mind of one person, then my loss has not been worthless.
It will infact become as priceless as a life"
There is good & bad in everyone, this book is a tale of a life destroyed.
We wish Warren all power in his freedom. Great Book, tragic story!
