The top prisoner in C-max

Ebersohn’s new book about Abigail and me is called The Top Prisoner in C-Max. I understand the publisher didn’t like his original title. So much for professionalism. Hah.

I have to admit that he’s onto something though. The battles for the top place among the inmates of any prison can be more than intense. Levels of violence rise and killings are not unusual. The authorities in the prison sometimes never really understand the cause of a war inside their prison. They question inmates, get told lies and write reports based on those lies. The Oliver Hall case that Ebersohn has been writing about is one of the most striking and Hall one of the most dangerous prisoners I’ve ever had dealings with.
