Joe's Story

Having spent nearly fourteen years in prison, I would like to highlight the positive results that I have gained .......

I was sentenced to life imprisonment with a tariff of thirteen years. I was determined that I would not just sit there looking at the television or burn brain cells taking drugs. That’s how I got into prison in the first place. I decided that I would try to get as many qualifications as I could that would help me to gain employment or give me better chances of employment on release. I have gained more qualifications than I ever would have done at school and this is going to be the turning point in my life.
