About this listen

 Australia's Most Brutal Prison

Step inside the walls of Boggo Road, Australia's most brutal jail, as inmates and guards reveal the chilling truth of life behind bars. In this gripping new book in James Phelps's bestselling prison series, he uncovers the untold history of Brisbane's infamous jail and the worst - and most colourful - criminals it contained. From daring escape attempts to jailhouse bashings, this is the unputdownable account of over a century of darkness, violence and survival within the walls of one of Australia's most terrifying prisons.

Closed in 1989, for 106 years HM Prison Brisbane - better known as Boggo Road - housed infamous figures like the Whiskey Au-Go-Go Bombers; escape artist Arthur 'Slim' Halliday; and Ernest Austin - the last man hanged at Boggo Road.

But their stories are only the beginning.
