Product Description
In 2001 Natalie Welsh took her four-year-old daughter Nikita on the holiday of a lifetime to Venezuela. But Natalie was hiding a terrible secret - in a moment of desperation she had agreed to smuggle a suitcase of cocaine for a one-off payment she hoped would change her life. Hopelessly naive, and struggling with a drug addiction that left her barely capable of reason, Natalie had no idea of the danger she was facing. Caught by the Venezuelan authorities, Natalie was sentenced to ten years in a hellish prison system. In the blink of an eye, she entered a nightmare world, where guards were either too powerless or corrupt to control the escalating violence. This was a world of almost unimaginable horror, where murders, rapes and even all-out gang warfare were carried out by the armed and powerful inmates. After six terrible years, and against impossible odds, Natalie became the first western woman to escape from a Venezuelan prison, in a death-defying flight through Colombia to freedom. Sentenced to Hell is the incredible story of how one terrible mistake can almost destroy a life, and how Natalie's love for her daughter saved her.

Sentenced to Hell Gripping Story
What a brilliant book. I have recently been on holiday and read it in 3 days as I couldn't put it down at all. The story of Natalie and Nikita is so unbelievable. It just keeps you gripped and you just want to keep reading to find out what happens. I felt I was nervous as if it was me that was making my escape from a notorious prison in Venezuela. Worth every penny I paid and I am so glad there is a happy ending as there so often isn't. BRILLIANT COMPELLING READING. I would advise anyone thinking about buying this book to buy it immediately.
