MY LIFE IN PRISON By John Kiriiti

When John Kiriamiti was convicted on a charge of robbery with violence and sentenced to 20 years imprisonment with 48 strokes of cane, he was dejected and distraught. There was no way he could spend 20 good years behind those grim walls of prison, he told himself. And he straightaway embarked on a mission to escape the throes of prison. 

Writewn from the point of view of the first person narrator, My Life ion prison is a rendition of the travails and tribulations that Kiriamiti experienced behind bars. Like in his first novel, My Life in Crime, Kiriamiti gives us yet another autobiographical account or dramatic life as a criminal, an account that is as brutally frank as it is graphic in detail.
