For a bit of light Chrissy reading

The autobiography of Bernie Matthews came out last month and can be found, featured fairly prominantly, on the book shelves in most major book stores.

The title, Intractable, refers to the classification of certain prisoners deemed to have a higher risk of violent behaviour or escape attempts.

The 404 pages candidly detail the bashings, wrongful imprisonment, crimes and aspirations of the NSW freelance journalist who has written for Ralph and The Bulletin. A review will follow over the weeks ahead.
