Welcome to Hotel Kerobokan, the ironic nickname for Kerobokan Jail, Bali's most notorious prison, and home to a procession of the infamous and the tragic: the BALI BOMBERS, Gold Coast beautician SCHAPELLE CORBY and the BALI NINE, among many others.In Hotel Kerobokan's filthy and disease-ridden cells, a United Nations of prisoners live crushed together in misery. Petty thieves and small-time drug users share cells with killers, rapists and gangsters. Hardened drug traffickers sleep alongside unlucky tourists, who've seen their holiday turn from paradise to hell over one ecstasy tablet.Hotel Kerobokan reveals the wild 'sex nights' organized by corrupt guards for prisoners who have the money to pay, the rampant drug use, the suicides and killings, and days out at the beach. It exposes the jail's role in supplying high-grade drugs to the outside, the gang that rules the jail through terror, the corruption that means anything is for sale, and the squalor and misery endured by prisoners.Written by Kathryn Bonella, the co-author of Schapelle Corby's bestselling autobiography, and backed up by hundreds of prisoner interviews, the truth about Hotel Kerobokan explodes off the page.

I really got into this book from the sexy start when prisoners are lining up to have sex with one hooker. Jammed with great stories and interesting characters.

After reading Schapelle Corby's book MY STORY by Kathryn Bonella, which I found incredible and heartbreaking, I jumped at the chance to read her second book HOTEL KEROBOKAN. It is as good as I'd hoped. I was totally absorbed into Hotel K, the Bali jail, and shocked, horrified and amused by the way the westerners like Schapelle Corby and the Bali Nine and surfers, tourists and expats from all over the world manage to live in this "dark seedy world" as bonella calls it.It's a must read for anyone who likes thejail genre or just wants a darn good read.

Awesome read. It's an intimate peek into life in this Bali Jail. What Schapelle Corby does and the Bali Nine to pass the time. A lot of drugs, sex and corruption. strap on your seatbelt for this one. Dont plan anything the night you pick it up to start reading. Loved it.
