My Prison Experience

I spent nearly two years in a deplorable Brazilian prison set aside for international 'visitors' where the staple daily diet was a handful of black beans and a cup of boiled rice. Yes, I met the 'great train robber' Ronnie Biggs who was there from time to time. I was one of 13 men squeezed into an area not much larger than a big bathroom.
When I was in real trouble I foolishly took 'advice' to get out of circulation, literally, in 1974, and bought a one-way ticket to Rio.  I was there three months when I was arrested at the airport waiting for the arrival of my then girlfriend from Australia.
