Publisher's Summary
Andrew Hamilton thought he had life sorted: beautiful fiancée, a popular pizza restaurant, two beloved dogs and a thriving side business supplying massive quantities of magic mushrooms and LSD to eager Sydneysiders.
Then one night police raided his Surry Hills home and it all came crashing down. Andrew's predicament didn't sink in at first, mainly because he was on a three-day cocaine bender and just wanted to sleep it off. When he was transferred to Parklea Correctional Centre, his prison-inspired existential dilemma began.
The Profound Benefits of a Stint in Prison is a sometimes confronting, more often hilarious insider's view to life inside. Andrew left prison a changed man, determined to turn his life around. This is the story of what happens when max denial collides with the reality of max security.

Amazing story from a real genuine funny bloke.
After having seen Andrew perform in Sydney, I decided to buy the book because his comedy was so great.
The story and delivery did not disappoint.
Great read.

Thank you it gave me better understanding
Hi, my son also ended up in jail because of drugs and I could never understand why he got so frustrated in regard to his buy up and you gave me better understanding of it. My son was such a picky eater before he went to prison and they changed all of that. That was probably a very big positive that I found .. I’d love to hear what your Mum has to say with her experience, of you in prison. For me, I had never experienced. The legal system was so daunting and had no understanding about registering phone numbers or booking in for a visit. It was also foreign. I think that people forget how difficult it is for the mothers
when their son is going into prison.

Went straight to my heart
Having raised 3 youngsters in Sydney in the 1990's, Andrew's story was totally relatable. I laughed, my eyes opened wide and I sighed with relief - over and again. Thank you Andrew, for making our world real and for helping us learn with laughter 😃. Don't stop!
