Just finished a good book ,marching powder by rusty young. Its a memoir of a british guy Thomas McFadden ,who was inprisoned in san pedro prison in bolivia for cocaine smuggling. Its the usual story of the harshness of being incarcerated in a third world prison and the corruption and torture, in san pedro you even have to pay an entrance fee and purchase your own cell! .Thomas finds his own way to get by and survive by becoming a tour guide to backpackers and even letting them stay over for the prison experience. Thomas is a likeable character and rusty young tells the story well, wont tell you too much but thought it was well worth a read...
