Long Bay

LONG BAY


I was pleased to receive my copy of the newly released book “Long Bay” written by Patrick Kennedy.

It is extremely well written and the production and photographs within are impressive.

It is a complete history of Long Bay Prison dating right back to its conception.  You will recognize some of the names and locations within the book from my eBooks. 

Patrick Kennedy was the son of Ted Kennedy, the chief male nurse at the Long Bay Complex when I commenced working there in May of 1971.  As I only received the book today, I am yet to read it from cover to cover, but a quick scan through reveals four years of hard and precise work by Patrick, ensuring the minutest detail is verified and correct.

If you are interested in genuine prison history, including the people who worked within them, and the prisoners who were incarcerated within the walls, I highly recommend that you obtain a copy of “Long Bay”.  It is a unique, historical manuscript that has never been produced in the same factual manner.

Patrick Kennedy's book is available at www.longbay.net.au.

This I believe.
