Kay Danes and her husband Kerry, first came to prominence when they were imprisoned for almost a year in communist Laos on false charges of gem theft.
Upon her release, Kay made a personal promise to continue to campaign to raise awareness to the plight of those subjected to inhumane conditions in foreign prisons.
Upon her release, Kay made a personal promise to continue to campaign to raise awareness to the plight of those subjected to inhumane conditions in foreign prisons.
Her new book, Families Behind Bars, is part of the fulfilment of that promise. In the book, Kay describes conditions in some of the worst prisons on the planet.
Some of the cases in the book are high-profile, such as Schapelle Corby, David Hicks and the Bali Nine, others have never been told before.
Over 200 Australians are currently incarcerated in foreign prisons.
As the name of the book suggests, Families Behind Bars is also the story of families who share the experiences of their imprisoned loved ones.
