The Profession Of Violence (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
A day that began at 6.30 A.M. with the bell clanging on the landing and ended when lights went out at 9.30 P.M. From 5 November 1956, a wet Friday, when the gates of Wandsworth Gaol closed behind the black Maria bringing the latest batch of prisoners down from the Central Criminal Court, this became the new life of Ronnie Kray. Nothing could have been further from the old life of drink and fights and easy money than the dingy monastery of Wandsworth Gaol; nothing more at odds with the dream world the Colonel had built round the Eric Street billiard hall and Fort Vallance. Yet he took to it surprisingly well. His mother worried that it would be terrible for him to be parted from his Reggie, but Reggie came in to see him on visits, and neither twin seemed unduly concerned at being parted. After the first days’ gloom of settling in, the Colonel appeared very much his old self. This was partly because he had so many friends in prison that Wandsworth was something of a home from home, and although he was locked in a single cell on the ground floor of the main prison block after lights out, he had plenty of opportunity for renewing old acquaintances during the remainder of the day.
