Marching Powder: A True Story of a British Drug Smuggler In a Bolivian Jail Audiobook (Free)

San Pedro is Bolivia’s most notorious prison. Small-time drug smuggler Thomas McFadden found himself on the inside. Marching Powder is the tale of how he navigated this dark globe of gangs, drugs and corruption to turn out on top.

Thomas found out himself in a bizarre world, the jail reflecting all that’s wrong with South American culture. Prisoners have to pay an entrance fee and buy their own cells (the choice is certainly to sleep outdoors and pass away of exposure), prisoners’ wives and kids frequently live inside as well, high quality cocaine is certainly manufactured and marketed from the jail.

Thomas finished up earning money by giving backpackers travels of the prison – he became a fixture in the backpacking circuit and was named in the Lonely Planet guide to Bolivia. When he was told that for any bribe of $5000 his phrase could possibly be overturned, it was the countless backpackers who’d approved through who sent him the money. Written by lawyer Rusty Youthful, Marching Natural powder – sometimes shocking, occasionally funny – is a riveting tale of survival.
