Title: Australia's Most Murderous Prison
Subtitle: Behind the Walls of Goulburn Jail
Author: James Phelps
Narrator: Stan Pretty
Format: Unabridged
Length: 6 hrs and 40 mins
Language: English
Release date: 09-01-16
Publisher: Wavesound Audio
Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 5 votes
Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime
Publisher's Summary:
An unprecedented spate of murders in the 1990s earned Goulburn Jail the ominous name 'The Killing Fields'. Inmates sentenced or transferred to the 130-year-old towering menace declared they had been given death sentences.
Serial killer Ivan Milat, the 'Terror Five' militants who plotted attacks across Sydney in 2005, Brothers 4 Life founder Bassam Hamzy and gang rapist Bilal Skaf are just a few of the inmates inside Australia's most murderous prison. Meet them all here in Phelps' best-selling audiobook.
Critic Reviews:
"A fascinating book, written in a very readable style." (AustCrimeFiction)
Members Reviews:
Revealing look inside NSW prisons
What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative?
An eye opener to the extent of power inmates, who are incarcerated for serious crimes, are able to continue their criminal activities from behind bars
What three words best describe Stan Prettys performance?
The juvenile sound effects were annoying and not very convincing. A little more effort given to the accurate pronunciations of the foreign surnames would have given Pretty more credibility.
If you could give Australia's Most Murderous Prison a new subtitle, what would it be?
How the Nagle Royal Commision ensured that prison inmates continue their criminal enterprises from behind bars. A direct result of a one sided investigation where the only witnesses called to give evidence to events inside NSW prisons were inmates.
Any additional comments?
The abrupt ending to the story was somewhat disconcerting. A representation of a prison murder ended suddenly without even an epilogue.
Great listen
Good story's moved at great pace, interesting listen, good insight to the rap Australian prison system
Couldn't put it down
Very interesting and informative. Gods to hear stories from various perspectives. It was well read and fast paced so never a dull moment.
A bit gory at times but otherwise a good read.
Interesting and challenging
Really interesting! We struggled at times with some of the language but well researched. We finished the book as we came into Goulburn and just had to do a drive past of the prison.
Crass and boring
This book is awful. It just goes through detailing murders in Goulburn with no narrative and a lot of wailing. There is nothing to be learnt here and the whole thing reads like it was put together in a weekend. Totally skippable.
