Book Description
A few other books have been written on the subject of Brisbane's Maximum Security Prison or its favoured name, 'Boggo Road' Prison, but none have been at ground level for the reader to gain the understanding of life inside the walls for Prison Officers. These men were tagged with many nick names over the years, such as Screws, Turn Keys, Guard and Boss, all of which described us in various eras over the centuries. This book is based on my reflections of events as they happened or were recorded; I have endeavoured to be as accurate as possible through the following journals and correspondence.

Book Description
There has been surprisingly little written about H.M. Brisbane Prison, which was better known to one all a 'Boggo Road Gaol', that is, from the perspective of male prisoners. The Real Boggo Road provides an all-too-rare account of life inside the Queensland prison system of the 1960's from the beginning to the end of an era, culminating in the eventual closure of the notorious Boggo Road system, and of its caged and underground incarceration. It is the view of many that harsh intimidating treatment and recidivisim go hand in hand, but in this first of many writings by Larry Campbell we discover an insight that will be noticed in the area of penology, criminology, as well as social and welfare studies. It, is the authors view, through historical recall, and although his many writings are written with sincerity, they may tend to offend those who have lived and worked behind the walls of such institutions. He makes no apology.
