ACTIVISM IS MY REVENGE! (Mark Barnsley)

Activism-Is-My-Revenge-Green-Cover-e1304161960811

John Bowden è prigioniero nelle carceri inglesi da più di 25 anni. Condannato per un omicidio non premeditato, nel corso della sua vita in carcere ha cominciato a politicizzarsi e contribuire alle lotte dei detenuti. La sua costante attività di denuncia delle brutalità e delle violenze subite dai prigionieri, si è tradotta in un accanimento nei suoi confronti: dai pestaggi alle torture psicologiche.
