Summary
In 1999, Chet Sandhu was arrested at gunpoint in Alicante Airport for smuggling the largest quantity of illicit pharmaceutical drugs in Spanish history. Overnight, he went from living in the shadows of the Costa del Crime’s underworld to being labelled a notorious supervillain in the international press. Incarcerated alongside murderers, rapists, and terrorists in a super-maximum-security wing, he had to navigate a world of murderous knife fights, prison breaks, drug taking, and high-stake power plays.
In Self-Made, Dues Paid, learn how a British-born Asian kid with disabilities raised in a corner shop emerged as a protector of his family from racist thieves and hooligans. Be prepared to be entertained, informed, and offended by Chet’s no-holds barred account of raves, drugs, body-building, entering the fashion industry, working the doors, and life in one of the world’s deadliest places to be incarcerated.
Critic reviews
“Mind-blowing how Chet earned the respect of the prisoners, ranging from gangs of Russian, German, and Spanish maniacs and murderers to HIV+ assassins wielding needles infected with AIDS” (Shaun Attwood, true crime author/YouTuber)

Repetitive
Knew him from my youth. Funny character. Found the book very repetitive and a struggle to be honest.

Excellent story and narration!
I heard about this book from a podcast that Chet done. He was quite a character and was intrigued to listen to his book.
I am happy I did, it's a great story with interesting stories right back from him growing up in the North east of England. And, then dealing with prison life as an adult.
The narration is also very good as well. I highly recommend that you give this a listen.

A great listen
As a white guy was hard to listen to the horrible racism Chet had to deal with growing up ,loved this from start to finish especially when he went back from Pakistan,the methods used to sort the gear out had me in stitches 10/10 recommend.

the useless narrator
The story is probably pretty good but the narrator sounds like a robot reading one word at a time and constantly pausing in the middle of sentences. I got to the 3rd chapter and couldn't listen any longer.
