Vorwort Prison camps in Communist Albania were as brutal and claustrophobic as Stalin's gulags, with the horror that Albanian prisoners could be charged and re-sentenced while already in prison. This memoir evokes life for prisoners of the state as they struggled to cope with the physical and psychological deprivations of imprisonment.
