True Crime

In Brisbane's maximum-security prison awaiting trial, Joe Tog composed a series of short narratives for his defence-barrister. The barrister said that the notes gave him a clarity that he did not normally get from cold, hard facts and dates. Out of that comment grew this story. 'Aussie Prison Breaks' follows Tog's escape from a number of Australian prisons as well as his life and travels on the run. Interrogation, incarceration, violence and mateship are chronicled in depth to give you an insight into the criminal mind.
