This is the extraordinary story of a man who led one of the biggest prison exposés in the world. Four prisoners risked their lives to catch warders on film supplying drugs and alcohol, pimping young inmates to older prisoners, and even giving prisoners a loaded pistol to use in an escape. The man behind the exposé, however, a hardened prison gangster, was possibly the least likely to have ever wanted to do it. He ruled prison, and knew its secret anatomy.

It reads like a thrilling novel, taking you through McKenzie's early life and entry into crime and bank robbery, to culminate in how he smuggled secret video cameras into a maximum-security prison, at great risk to his life. It is an inspiring and gripping story of personal change and great courage.

Though he has now become well known for his inspirational talks, his story, and the shocking facts of prison life, were first revealed in these pages seven years ago. This book also marks the anniversary of Gayton’s release from jail ten years ago. Since then, he has gone on to become a household name in South Africa and is now an icon among the youth.

So, once again, take a journey with a man who was ready to leave jail and continue his life of irrepressible crime when he saw something so jarring and horrific, that even someone who had seen as much as he had, and who was barely capable of caring any more, was changed.
