"Prison Diary" is a precise, objective, and therefore chilling account of Omar Al-Shaar's experience in various secret Syrian "makeshift" prisons. It documents how, despite unspeakable torture, a desire for revenge can be countered by a genuine desire for democracy and even a humane understanding of one's tormentors.
