Summary
In 1978, Warren Fellows was convicted of heroin trafficking between Thailand and Australia. He was sentenced to life imprisonment in the notorious Bang Kwang prison - better known as the Bangkok Hilton. It was the beginning of 12 years of hell in a place where sewer rats and cockroaches are the only nutritious food, where prison guards laugh as they deliver pulverising blows, and where the worst punishment is the khun deo - solitary confinement, Thai style.
The Damage Done is one man's story of an unthinkable nightmare. It is not Warren Fellows' plea for forgiveness nor his denial of guilt, but a story of endurance and survival and the abuse of human rights during the decade of a life wasted in leg irons. It is an essential listen: heartbreaking, fascinating, and impossible to pause.

well worth a listen
this is a book that is so worth listening/reading, I first read it a good few years ago while on a flight to Thailand and just got it for my iphone to listen to in work and found it just as intense this time as I did the first,
its not a look at me and feel sorry for me story, its a man explaining his stupidity for greed in younger years that pays the ultimate price. hopefully it has made someone thinks twice before doing the same thing if they read it.

Gripping story
Would you consider the audio edition of The Damage Done to be better than the print version?
I have read the book and found the audible version better because I felt connected to the character

The story is fascinating
I really enjoyed listening to this - the book gave a real insight into what life is like in a Thai prison and some of the horrible things prisoners go through. The narration was good. I probably would have wanted a bit more depth and details but overall a good listen

Makes Midnight Express look like a Picnic
Wow. What a book. It would be nice to listen to this in one session, but the contents are so horrific you need to put it down and escape back to reality for a while. The brutal regime that Fellows lived under for 12 years is beyond imaginable... and the prison guards are the worst culprits. Murder and disfiguring beatings are inflicted on the prisoners on a regular basis and both mental and physical torture are rife. This is life at its most feral
A true eye opener and this should be compulsive reading for anyone looking to make a quick buck out of drug smuggling.
Truly horrific

As expected, not bad
The story is overall grim and horrid as expected. The narrator is good. I need something quite opposite now, or I'll have nightmares.

Tremendous
I was recommended this book by Britain’s best journalist, Sam Delaney and I wasn’t disappointed in the least. It’s a gripping, yet harrowing story of how life can slip through your hands from one wrong decision. I’ve never really had an interest in visiting Thailand and this book reaffirms this.
