About this listen
Some would call this an autobiography. Others would say it's a hell of a story. I call it my life. Living it had become the norm, but choosing to write about it wasn't easy. It's one thing to react to whatever life throws at you, and another to reflect on it. I've been sentenced to life imprisonment, and confined to a prison within a prison, for a crime I did not commit. Being outspoken and relentless in fighting for justice had become my only choice, and as it turns out, my redemption. My personal life, on the other hand, I have chosen to keep private. Until now.
For the first time ever, this book will walk you through my improbable personal journey with brutal honesty. The good, the bad and the ugly. My story, combined with an exceptional journey to the forefront of investigative journalism remains unparalleled. As the host of the critically-acclaimed Netflix series ‘inside the World's Toughest Prisons,' I continue to do what no-one else has ever done before.
I am Raphael Rowe and my career was born as a result of spending 12 years in prison for crimes I did not commit.
All this has inspired me to try to make positive changes in prison systems throughout the world. I believe passionately that we can make such changes, and this is why I have set up the Raphael Rowe Foundation. Please join us @ raphaelrowefoundation.org/about-me/

Honest and gripping
An honest and gripping account of the subject matter, made more palatable by the narrator having lived it.

Inspirational and Informative
Incredible story of strength, perseverance and hope. Well-narrated and easy to listen to. Not just an autobiography but also a clear reminder that injustice happens everywhere and those in a position of power or influence need to use their voices to help those who cannot help themselves.

Honest and Inspirational
Naration by Raphael added so much authenticity to the story. I felt genuine anger for him but was also inspired by his courage and tenacity in the face of overwhelming prejudice, both on and out of prison. Brilliant

Great Read with a Fascinating Story
Raphael Rowe has had a hard life in and out of jail and anyone who has watched his prison show will be fascinated by this account of his early life and 12 hard years in prison. It was great that he narrated it, that clinched it for me as he seems to be a genuinely decent hard-working bloke. Well done Mr Rowe and good luck in the future.

Great
Really enjoyed the book. Opened my eyes to the prejudices still in the judicial system. Well done for not giving in to them.

Interesting
Interesting and open honest account about Raphael’s beginnings, the fact the Raphael’s narrates his own book makes it that more authentic, can’t fault his determination and fight to be free from prison.
