THE COCAINE DIARIES: A VENEZUELAN PRISON NIGHTMARE
Book ID/图书代码： 08430012B56458
English Summary/英文概要： ’It won’t happen to me. That’s what I thought when I got on the plane to Venezuela. But it did - I got caught.’
Caught smuggling half a million euros’ worth of cocaine, Paul Keany was sexually assaulted by Venezuelan anti-drugs officers before being sentenced to eight years in the notorious Los Teques prison outside Caracas. There he was plunged into a nightmarish world of coke-fuelled killings, gun battles, stabbings, extortion and forced hunger strikes until finally, just over two years into his sentence, he gained early parole and embarked on a daring escape from South America . . .
Aided by his extensive prison diaries, Keany reveals the true horror of life inside Los Teques: a shocking underworld behind bars where inmates pay protection money to stay alive, prostitutes do the rounds and vast amounts of cocaine are smuggled in for cell-block bosses to sell on to prisoners for huge profits. The Cocaine Diaries is a remarkable story, told by Keany with honesty, courage and even humour, despite knowing that every day behind bars might have been his last.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： “当我登上开往委内瑞拉的飞机时，我告诉自己不会有问题的。然而事与愿违，我还是不幸地被抓住了。” 保罗•肯尼被抓走私有价值50万欧元的可卡因，随后保罗遭到了委内瑞拉反毒官员的性侵害，并被判在加拉加斯城外臭名昭著的洛思泰克斯监狱中服刑8年。肯尼就这样被丢入了一个噩梦般的世界，满眼所见皆是可卡因谋杀、枪战、刺行、敲诈勒索以及强制性禁食，最终，在被判刑的两年后，肯尼为自己赢得了提前保释的机会，从此踏上了珍贵的南美逃脱之旅。。。。。。 肯尼在监狱中记录了详细的日记，凭着这些日记，他为我们揭开了洛思泰克斯监狱内可怕的生活状态，在那地狱般的监狱中，犯人们必须缴纳保护费才能够为自己赢得一线生机，在那里妓女随处可见，监狱分区长则将大量可卡因私运入监狱中，卖给犯人们以谋取高额利润。《可卡因日记》为我们讲述了一个极为深刻的故事，肯尼清楚地知道在狱中的任何一天都极有可能是他生命的末日，但他还是以最真挚，勇敢甚至有点幽默的口吻为我们娓娓道来这样一个残酷的世界。（DC）
