Andrew Hamilton thought he had life sorted: beautiful fiance, a popular pizza restaurant, two beloved dogs and a thriving side business supplying massive quantities of magic mushrooms and LSD to eager Sydneysiders.

Then one night police raided his Surry Hills home and it all came crashing down. Andrew's predicament didn't sink in at first, mainly because he was on a three-day cocaine bender and just wanted to sleep it off. When he was transferred to Parklea Correctional Centre, his prison-inspired existential dilemma began.

The Profound Benefits of a Stint in Prison is a sometimes confronting, more often hilarious insider's view to life inside. Andrew left prison a changed man, determined to turn his life around. This is the story of what happens when max denial collides with the reality of max security.

Reviews for The Profound Benefits of a Stint in Prison: Locked up and lucked out in max security

'Epic storytelling - more mind-blowing and addictive than magic mushrooms.' - Dave Hughes 'If reading this was a criminal offence, I'd be willing to be locked up.' - Aaron Chen 'Funny, eye-opening and brutally honest - a must-read!' - Matt Okine 'Engaging and funny from the jump ... but you don't actually need to go to prison - you can just tell people you did.' - Chopper (Heath Franklin)
