Shane by David Taylor

Shane was officially one of Britain’s most dangerous prisoners. He had been on the run for two separate accounts of attempted murder. When in prison he took a hostage, stabbed two prison officers, and orchestrated riots. In a maximum security prison, he was locked up in solitary in a special cell with only cardboard furniture and allowed no human contact. Every time he was moved out of his cell it took seven officers with shields and full riot gear, even then he nearly killed one of the officers.

Then an extraordinary miracle stopped him in his tracks. This book reveals the hidden secrets of drug smuggling in prison and how an out of control kid became a monster. For the inside story of knife crime, violence and robbery, the book gives an account of a descent into madness and revenge and finally redemption.
