Trapped in the Tropics Part 1 - Paperback

The true story of Timothy Goldring a successful British businessman in Singapore who in 2014 at age 61, is found guilty of Conspiracy to Cheat in the Court of Singapore.

He is sentenced to seven years' incarceration in Singapore's notorious CHANGI PRISON COMPLEX, a maximum-security prison with over 11,000 inmates.

Loss of freedom, fear, and anxiety trigger unexpected survival instincts and his violent reactions place him in solitary confinement within 24 hours of his arrival in prison.

Alone in a cell measuring 10 feet x 8 feet, with limited drinking water, much of the time in pitch darkness, his physical health is the first casualty.

Experiencing a stage three hypertensive attack, his blood pressure rockets, and he falls dangerously ill.

As his health slowly recovers, after a few weeks he is released from solitary confinement and begins to explore the world of Changi Prison through contact with other inmates.

He discovers an institution where corporal punishment by caning is a bi-weekly event and capital punishment, the death sentence by hanging still endures.

Locked up 23 hours a day in small, shabby cells with squat toilets, where inmates sleep and eats on the concrete floor.

What is the dystopian regime he has fallen into?

Who are his cell mates?

Where does a man go to in his own mind to survive?
