For over a century Long Bay Gaol has been home to Australia's most notorious villains', including Darcy Dugan, Tilly Devine, " Neddy" smith, and Roger Rogerson, and members of the Comanchero bikie gang. Pat Kennedy grew up next door, where a 6 in a backyard cricket meant climbing the outer wall. His parents worked inside, and as an ambulance paramedic he was called to crime scenes in and out of the prison. This history of Long Bay is his fourth book. "Pat has a long history with the prison system being a frequent visitor to Long Bay. and is a stickler for facts. I feel he would go up a sewer pipe backwards to make sure the facts are right." - Former Chief Superintendent, Dave 'Emu' Farrell.
