Conrad Black on his prison life

Conrad Black on his prison life



Former media tycoon Conrad Black has told how he has been expanding his social circle and learning to play the piano during his first year in prison.

Black, a member of the House of Lords, was jailed for six and a half years for fraud and obstruction of justice.

In an e-mail interview with Canadian newspaper the National Post he said his day starts with granola and ends with coffee made by Colombian prisoners.

He also revealed he is giving history and politics lectures.

Comment: I hope our prison system takes note of how Mr Black has frequent access to emails and that such a service should be developed on this side of the Atlantic!
