Locks, Bolts And Bars Av John Massey

<p><b>John Massey¿s story is unique.</b> Part of a notorious duo that the Flying Squad dubbed ¿Laurel and Hardy¿, his criminal activities included hijacking a police car after robbing a bank of ¿25,000 and relieving <i>the Sunday Mirror</i> of ¿50,000 ¿ and all before he was arrested for murder, aged 27.<br><br>But that was just the beginning. Given a life sentence, with a minimum term of twenty years, Massey would find himself incarcerated for forty-three years, give or take a prison break, in almost every prison in the country. <i>In Locks, Bolts and Bars</i>, one of Britain¿s longest-serving prisoners reflects on a life spent on the ¿inside¿, from corrupt guards to notorious criminals, and the real value of freedom.</p>
