About this listen

An unprecedented spate of murders in the 1990s earned Goulburn Jail the ominous name 'The Killing Fields'. Inmates sentenced or transferred to the 130-year-old towering menace declared they had been given death sentences.

Serial killer Ivan Milat, the 'Terror Five' militants who plotted attacks across Sydney in 2005, Brothers 4 Life founder Bassam Hamzy and gang rapist Bilal Skaf are just a few of the inmates inside Australia's most murderous prison. Meet them all here in Phelps' best-selling audiobook.

Really interesting! We struggled at times with some of the language but well researched. We finished the book as we came into Goulburn and just had to do a drive past of the prison.

Very interesting and informative. Gods to hear stories from various perspectives. It was well read and fast paced so never a dull moment.

A bit gory at times but otherwise a good read.

This book gives an oversight of ‘some aspects’ of extreme prisoners and the difficulty keeping the community safe from them.
An eye opener to me.

This was disturbing, but informative and interesting. The first chapter is terrible in its content then you realise who it happens to, and it’s no so terrible.

This is a book I enjoyed but for the narrator, his take on the story’s at times was over the top. Found it a little off putting! Could have enjoyed it a lot more if he just read it as it is. Still enjoyed the story and would recommend to others.

Great read BUT !

Worst narration ever
