ABOUT DARTMOOR PRISON
by Trevor James.
Was Dartmoor Prison a ‘cesspit of humanity’ as someone once said? Was it a dump for the worst criminals in the country and are the shocking tales about the French and American prisoners of war true? What about the prison now? Is it really a tough jail or has its history been exaggerated to feed the tourists’ appetite for Dartmoor’s notoriety? It is al little of all these things but there is much more which has so far remained unsaid. Hopefully this little book will give the reader a perception of ‘life inside’, past and present.
There are plenty of surprises when you peek inside Britain’s most famous prison.
