Prison is a word which conjures up different things to the people who hear it. To some, it is a place where people are simply locked away for a period of time, away from society. Others may think it is place where torture, fear, violence and hopelessness are common place, whereas some may think it a place of rehabilitation. Then there are those who believe it is a state of mind. In the best-selling ‘34 Years In Hell’, author Jamie Morgan Kane told the story of how, after being born on the Isle of Man, he was taken to Canada as a baby and then transported into the United States of America where, at the age of 14, he was sold to an American couple to replace, as he found out many years later, a child they had previously adopted who had mysteriously disappeared. He recounted how he had joined the US military the day he left school in the belief that he was an American citizen; how circumstances persuaded him to plead guilty to a crime he did not commit, and how that had resulted in him being sentenced to prison for more than three decades. Since then, he has been asked many times: “But what was prison really like?” This new follow-up book attempts to answer that question. This is the ultimate guide to what it’s like to be behind bars in America. It lays bare the day-to-day existence of prisoners and the hustles they get up to in order to survive. It is a fascinating, sometimes shocking and raw account of life at its most brutal.

Originally from the Isle of Man, Jamie Morgan Kane was released from prison in 2018 and deported back to the UK with £5 in his pocket. He is rebuilding his life in his birth country and trying to piece together the puzzle of his life and how he ended up in America as a young boy in the first place. He spends his time writing and giving talks as well as pursuing wood modelling and art – a passion he developed in prison.
