Hi Everyone! Hope the week’s been going great!
My choices of genre are usually towards fiction, this time I decided to venture into the tales of the real world. The book I chose was ‘Behind Bars’ by Sunetra Choudhary.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It comprised of prison tales of the who’s who. The writing style was beautiful, gets you etched on the pages! The accounts were documented in the most detailed and wonderful manner.
There were a number of times I shuddered at the thought of the events I read about. From sleeping on a block of concrete every night to their legs being forcefully stretched to an obtuse till they leaked blood, the stories are multi-farious. It depicts how your worth and your stay in prison is wholly determined by your monetary strength. Everything from edible food to getting away from the hostile inmates, is to be paid for in cash. Lest, you want your bad days to turn worse.
But these monstrosities aren’t the only issues the book deals with.
It speaks about the breaking of some relationships and the birth of a couple more. There is an unusual sense of bonding in prisons. They’re all in this together. They develop interests in subjects and areas they would otherwise not be involved in. They understand the frustration, fear, and the pain of the other, like no one outside would.
I wouldn’t want to say more, except that it was an excellent read and that I highly recommend it!
I’d rate this book a 4.5 on 5!
Have a lovely Thursday!
Lots and lots of love,
