Summary
A flicker of light almost appears at the end of the tunnel for prisoner FF8282, as he is transferred to North Sea Camp near Boston, Lincolnshire, a D-category prison. Under a less strict regime, the prisoners can enjoy a more relaxed set of rules, while slowly preparing to someday rejoin the world outside the walls. However, a minor breach of conditions gets him sent off to the notorious HMP Lincoln facility for twenty-two days, where more traumatic experiences await.
Heaven is the third book in Jeffrey Archer’s bestselling series The Prison Diaries. In this final volume Archer reflects on his time spent in prison, leading up to his release on parole in July 2003.
An eye-opening insight into prison life, exploring the humanity to be found behind bars, while simultaneously highlighting a system failing society as a whole and as individuals, where inmates leave worse off and more dangerous than when they first entered.
Jeffrey Archer is a bestselling British author and former politician. He was educated at Oxford and went on to become a Member of Parliament, the deputy chair of the Conservative Party as well as sitting in the House of Lords. His political career ended in scandal and he turned to writing and he has been published in over 275 million copies worldwide.
He is perhaps most famous for the Clifton Chronicles and his blockbuster Kane and Abel which was number one on the New York Time's Bestseller list and inspired a popular miniseries starring Peter Strauss and Sam Neill.
After he was imprisoned for perjury in 2001, he wrote his highly acclaimed non-fiction series, Prison Diaries - Hell, Purgatory and Heaven - which were inspired by his experiences and loosely structured around Dante's Divine Comedy.

Fantastic
Talented narrator for a brilliant author. An easy read and so enlightening about the legal system and its flaws. How he rose above such a traumatic ordeal is incredible. Respect.

Searing and honest.
I listened to the Audible version; narration throughout was excellent.
To give some context to this review, I avoided Archer’s novels for some decades. But I was sucked in to the Clifton chronicles and decided I should put my personal perceptions about the writer to one side. Over a week, I’ve listened to the three prison diaries. Heaven is the final book covering his months at an open prison in Lincolnshire.
To be fair, this seems to be an honest and frankly disturbing account of the vagaries of the penal system. Archer appears to have been dealt with exceptionally harshly. There are issues about the length of his sentence and his categorisation within the system. This is important as it raises very significant concerns about how violent and disturbed prisoners are mixed with young, vulnerable, inadequate and non violent inmates.
This account seems to be written with little rancour. He deals with difficult personal issues with honesty and integrity and regardless of whether his trial and conviction was right or wrong, these diaries give a vivid and different insight into our penal system. My regard for him has increased.
