Notorious

Life with No Parole for a Crime I Did Not Commit

De: Raphael Rowe

Narrado por: Raphael Rowe

Some would call this an autobiography. Others would say it's a hell of a story. I call it my life. Living it had become the norm, but choosing to write about it wasn't easy. It's one thing to react to whatever life throws at you, and another to reflect on it. I've been sentenced to life imprisonment, and confined to a prison within a prison, for a crime I did not commit. Being outspoken and relentless in fighting for justice had become my only choice, and as it turns out, my redemption. My personal life, on the other hand, I have chosen to keep private. Until now.

For the first time ever, this book will walk you through my improbable personal journey with brutal honesty. The good, the bad and the ugly. My story, combined with an exceptional journey to the forefront of investigative journalism remains unparalleled. As the host of the critically-acclaimed Netflix series ‘inside the World's Toughest Prisons,' I continue to do what no-one else has ever done before.

I am Raphael Rowe and my career was born as a result of spending 12 years in prison for crimes I did not commit.

All this has inspired me to try to make positive changes in prison systems throughout the world. I believe passionately that we can make such changes, and this is why I have set up the Raphael Rowe Foundation. Please join us @ raphaelrowefoundation.org/about-me/

Fascinating

Raphael is an excellent storyteller. His story is one of overcoming what seemed impossible. His strength of character and determination to clear his name is admirable. Reading about the racism he faced and how people would send technologic garbage to Africa was sad to listen to but putting a light on injustice is a way to make things better. Really enjoyed his story and how he is thriving.

Amazing & fascinating!

10 stars!Rafael's personal story is beyond description! It's horrific, fascinating, frustrating & full of historical stories of survival in some of the worst prisons in the worlds worst prisons, yet Rafael never loses hope & he encourages the men he meets to continue to improve their own lives & prepare for life "outside" the walls. I cannot wait for more of Rafael's insight & patient understanding as he experiences each prison he visits, & gets each inmate to reveal His crime, personality & his wishes & dreams. Rowe is my new favorite aUthor! His voice is clear & clearly pronounced, & I can't imagine a "professional" reader doing a better job ! Huzzah!

Amazing story.

I loved this book! His story is so interesting and his fight to prove his Innocence was just amazing. And listening to Raphael talk is a plus too!

Fantastic storytelling for an amazing story

Absolutely incredible and unbelievable story, written and read so well by Raphael. A great companion to the World’s Toughest Prisons series

Love it

I loved the world toughest prisons and when I heard he wrote a book, I had to get it. I loved his real and raw experience that he wrote about. I would recommend to anyone

Riveting story

I watched the Netflix series first and got interested in his back story. Wow, just wow. It’s a great story in that his life has progressed but the anguish and isolation and violence he had to endure as a result of racism is really hard to hear about.

I love that his story was a driver in changing some of the laws in the UK that led to his wrongful conviction. We can only hope that there are enough checks in place to overcome people’s biases in the process.
