History

The Last Governor Diaries is a virtual record of the author's 30 year journey through the NSW Department of Corrective Services and the many remarkable characters he meets along the way. Often frightening, yet at time humorous, The Last Governor Diaries provides a unique insight into the closed and unseen world that exists behind the imposing high walls of the state's prisons. This is a story of some very dangerous prisoners and a few very ordinary correctional officers. In many respects, this is a reminder that not all those charged with law enforcement are necessarily saints while all those who break the law are complete sinners.
