A local newspaper printed excerpts of his account, describing life on death row, the bribed guards, stashed weapons, jailhouse sex and more, Stockton was seen as a hated informer and suffered barbaric treatment for eleven years whilst battling to clear his name. The authors investigated his story and found it checked out. An incredible prison drama.
