What is this book all about?
London, 10 July, 1998 - Elaine Moore's life is about to change forever. In a simultaneous raid, Irish and British police forces arrested the 21-year-old Dubliner and nine others for alleged terrorism offences. After fours days of harrowing police interrogations, she is charged and sent to an all-male prison, where she is classified as a 'High Risk, Category A' prisoner. Elaine was forced to endure degrading strip searches up to four times a day; confined to a cell for 19 hours a day; and transported under armed guard at all times.

Shocked and terrified, Elaine's mother Kathy instigated a massive campaign to
fight for her release, involving Irish politicians, the media, international human
rights agencies and solicitor Gareth Pierce, who famously represented the
Guildford Four and the Birmingham Six.

For the first time ever, Elaine has broken her silence on those dark, lonely
days of 1998. With exclusive extracts from Elaine's prison diaries, as well
as interviews with those involved in her campaign, this is the first ever full
account of her notorious case.
