The Spring: A Legal Thriller Part 34

Clifford Irving's PRISON JOURNAL (a/k/a JAILING).

When the Nixon administration dealt Clifford Irving a 2 year prison sentence for committing the Howard Hughes Autobiography Hoax, the 41-year-old author was unprepared to serve time.

In prison, he learned how to jail and prevail. But then he was caught with contraband, moved to a three-star penitentiary, and accused of inciting a riot and conspiring to kill the warden.

This is the true story of how the author survived and won the battle for his freedom.
