Vollst. Taschenbuchausg. 220 Seiten Taschenbuch sehr gutes Exemplar, leicht gestossen,... Billy Hayes, ein dreiundzwanzigjähriger Amerikaner, freundlich, intelligent, noch nie mit dem Gesetz in Konflikt gewesen, ging nach dem Schulabschluß auf Europareise. Sie verlief ganz nach Erwarten, bis er bei der Rückreise am Flughafen von Istanbul unvermutet in eine Razzia gerät und verhaftet wird: Ertrug zwei Kilo Haschisch am Körper. Das Gericht verurteilt ihn zu einer vierjährigen Gefängnisstrafe, die aber nach der Revisionsverhandlung drastisch auf dreißig Jahre erhöht wird. Billy Hayes gerät in das Räderwerk eines Strafvollzugs, dessen Unberechenbarkeit und Willkür an die Rechtlosigkeit der Gefangenen in "Tausendundeine Nacht" erinnern. Die Zustände in den Gefängnissen und den Anstalten für psychisch kranke Kriminelle, die Brutalität und Niedertracht der Aufseher und kleinen Beamten und die nur wenig aussichtsreichen Versuche seiner Eltern, ihn über diplomatische Kanäle freizubekommen, treiben Billy Hayes an den Rand der Verzweiflung. Erst die Verlegung auf eine Insel bringt für Billy Hayes die Chance, seine schon wiederholt gescheiterten Fluchtpläne zu verwirklichen... K1017 ISBN 342600692 -
