Wormwood Scrubs is Britain's most 'media-soaked' prison. Its celebrity
inmates have provided the tabloids with many good stories, from
Rolling Stone Keith Richards - banged up for drugs offences - to
notorious spy George Blake, whose escape enthralled the country. It
has entertained the Master of the Queen's music, Sir Michael Tippett,
socialist scrapper Fred Copeman, rebellious soul Pete Doherty,
influential writer Joe Orton, lifetime litigant Lord Alfred Douglas,
fraudster John Stonehouse and professional con Charles Bronson. In
this book, you'll read about the forgotten, as well as the famous; the
plain as well as the extraordinary. It is an enthralling gallery of
rogues, liars, spies, mountebanks, lovers of courtroom strife and
general, all-round villains who did anything to get rich.
