The author takes us on a journey to a world where evil reaches its apogee. We stand face to face with people who have committed unimaginable crimes and try to understand what brought them to this point. These are not random criminals, but an accumulation of evil that evokes extreme emotions. Hatred mixes with compassion when we realize that behind every perpetrator there is also a family – victims and perpetrators, connected by a tragic fate.

This book is not only a collection of interviews but also an attempt to understand the causes of crime. Dissocial disorders, alcohol, drugs, pathologies, adrenaline, the feeling of being hurt – these are just some of the factors that may have influenced the decisions of these people. The author does not avoid difficult questions and tries to get to the heart of the problem by analyzing the motives and circumstances that led to the tragedy.

Michał Fajbusiewicz, a well-known journalist and host of the Criminal Magazine 997, emphasizes that in his career he has met many perpetrators of cruel murders, but this publication is a unique meeting with 24 life-sentenced people. These are people condemned by society who have the opportunity to present their perspective and talk about what punishment and prison mean to them.

Dr. Bogdan Lach, a forensic psychologist and criminal profiler, draws attention to the author's research passion, who had to struggle with the emotions of his interlocutors and the frustrations associated with withdrawing from the authorization of statements. Without passion and commitment, it would not have been possible to create such an insightful and moving book.

"Cell No. 24" is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the dark corners of the human psyche and explore the secrets of crime. It is a book that forces reflection and leaves a lasting mark on the reader's mind.
