Eighteen months, counted one day at a time. Donald Shaw went into a Victorian convict prison as a gentleman and came out with a ledger of it: the reception room, the cell, the labour, the enforced silence, the small economies of men who have nothing left to trade but hours. An insider's report from the far side of respectability, written by someone who never expected to need one.
