Meet the hardest men from a country where the streets are the most
dangerous and the gangsters and criminals are the scariest in Britain.
These faces have seen it all: the guns. The knives, the fights and the
hardship of life behind bars. This book will take you deep inside the
mad, bad, drug-infested, cut-throat world of the Scottish prison
system, bringing to light the last fifty years of infamous incidents.
With a frightening in-depth look at the most notorious penal
institutions and the most daunting and fearsome of inmates, as well as
those on the outside, this compulsive guide covers them all; from the
'Tax Man', Scotland's most feared enforces, to Walter Scott Ellis, a
famous armed robber who only just escaped the sinister fate of the
hangman's rope.
