Hotel Kerobokan: The Shocking Inside Story Of Bali's Most Notorious Jail

Hotel Kerobokan: The Shocking Inside Story Of Bali's Most Notorious Jail

Synopsis

Welcome to Hotel Kerobokan, the ironic name given to Bali's most notorious jail by its inmates. It's a bizarre nether world where murderers sleep alongside petty thieves, drug and alcohol addiction is rife, guards are corrupt and money talks. Into this hellhole have passed a procession of the infamous and the tragic: the Bali bombers, Gold Coast beautician Schapelle Corby, the Bali Nine and Chris Packer, among many others. The inmates grim experiences are at stark odds with the holiday paradise that exists just beyond Kerobokan's dank concrete walls. Hotel Kerobokan is the shocking inside story of the jail and its inmates - famous, infamous and unknown, written by an Australian with unprecedented access to the inside. Kathryn Bonella spent a year in Bali, entering the jail every day to co-write Schapelle Corby's bestselling 2006 autobiography. Now she's telling the incredible story of the jail itself. Backed up by interviews with prisoners past and present, the truth about Hotel Kerobokan explodes off the page. Simultaneously mesmerising and stomach-turning, Hotel Kerobokan paints a confronting picture. Everything you've heard is true. And there's much, much more than you ever imagined there could be.

  Awesome read. It's an intimate peek into life in this Bali Jail. What Schapelle Corby does and the Bali Nine to pass the time. A lot of drugs, sex and corruption. strap on your seatbelt for this one. Dont plan anything the night you pick it up to start reading. Loved it.

  After reading Schapelle Corby's book MY STORY by Kathryn Bonella, which I found incredible and heartbreaking, I jumped at the chance to read her second book HOTEL KEROBOKAN. It is as good as I'd hoped. I was totally absorbed into Hotel K, the Bali jail, and shocked, horrified and amused by the way the westerners like Schapelle Corby and the Bali Nine and surfers, tourists and expats from all over the world manage to live in this "dark seedy world" as bonella calls it.It's a must read for anyone who likes thejail genre or just wants a darn good read.

  I really got into this book from the sexy start when prisoners are lining up to have sex with one hooker. Jammed with great stories and interesting characters.
