In Sheriff Joe Arpaio's jail, Phoenix, Arizona, where gangs such as the Aryan Brotherhood and even guards were murdering inmates, Shaun Attwood used a tiny pencil sharpened on a cell door to document the conditions: dead rats in the food, cockroaches crawling in his ears at night, gang mayhem and violence... His blog turned the international media spotlight on this hell on earth. This companion book to Shaun's jail memoir, Hard Time, contains the writing that his aunt smuggled out of the maximum-security Madison Street jail.
Shaun's story was told on National Geographic Channel's Locked-Up Abroad "Raving Arizona."
