In unprecedented spate of murders in the 1990s--seven in just three years--earned Goulburn Jail the ominous name of "The Killing Fields." Inmates who were sentenced or transferred to the 130-year-old towering sandstone menace declared they had been given a death sentence. Gang alliances, power plays, contracted hits, the ice trade, the color of your skin--even mistaken identity--any number of things could seal your fate. The worst race war in the history of Australian prisons saw several groups--Aboriginal, Lebanese, Asian, Islander, and Anglo--wage a vicious and uncontrollable battle for power. Every day there were stabbings. Every day there were bashings. And then there was murder. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilogram. Category: True Crime; Australia; ISBN: .
