Banged Up

Davey Sommers should've ended up in a nice job, with a nice wife, living in a nice house...Instead, he ends up an eight-man unlock in prison, serving 17 years for assaulting a police officer, possession of firearms, obtaining money by intimidation and drug dealing. But then, Davey's never done what's expected of him. We've seen how prison works from one side of the door -- now Ronnie Thompson has teamed up with Davey Sommers to tell the story of what it's like from the other side. BANGED UP is a gritty account of one man's descent into crime -- from small-time dealing to big time. And it's about the realities of being a 'face' in prison -- having to keep your fearsome reputation intact, even while you're behind bars. Life inside is revealed in all its gory detail -- the smells, the tastes, the unsavoury company (and that includes the screws). Perhaps that's why Davey thought he'd try his luck and escape rather than serve his time...This is a story of drugs, violence, life on the run and, ultimately, justice.
