Marching Powder

Biografie von Rusty Young

San Pedro is Bolivia’s most notorious prison. Small-time drug smuggler Thomas McFadden found himself on the inside. Marching Powder is the story of how he navigated this dark world of gangs, drugs and corruption to come out on top. Thomas found himself in a bizarre world, the prison reflecting all that is wrong with South American society. Prisoners have to pay an entrance fee and buy their own cells (the alternative is to sleep outside and die of exposure), prisoners‘ wives and children often live inside too, high quality cocaine is manufactured and sold from the prison.

Rusty Young ist ein australischer Anwalt. Als er den Engländer Thomas McFadden in einem bolivianischen Gefängnis kennen gelernt hat, war er von dessen Erzählungen so fasziniert, dass er ihn drei Monate lang täglich besucht hat und seine Erfahrungen als Buch veröffentlicht hat. “All the staples of the prison memoir are here: sadistic guards, an attempted break-out, the terrors of solitary confinement, the joys of freedom . . . The result is a truly gripping piece of testimony.“ (Sunday Telegraph)
