Synopsis

In 1994 John Hoskison, a successful professional golfer, accepted a few drinks after a game and killed a cyclist when driving home. This work recounts his time inside one of Britain's toughest prisons following the incident: the squalor, violence, noise, stench, brutality, drugs and danger.

A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

As a young man John Hoskison played the European PGA golf tour and went on to lead Europe against the USA in the PGA Cup matches. However, one night he broke a discipline he had maintained for 20 years and accepted a drink before driving home. On the journey he hit and killed a cyclist and received a three year prison sentence. He survived the next few years because of the incredible forgiveness of the widow. Since John was released from prison, he has spoken at over 300 schools, to over 100,000 pupils, about the need to say 'no' when necessary, whether it is to do with drugs, alcohol or simply speeding in a car. He has also spoken to judges on the Judicial Studies Board and many prison governors. Over the last few years he has spoken in prisons, young offender institutions and secure units. John now spends his time motivating people to turn over a new leaf, writing books, teaching golf and very occasionally competing in tournaments.
