Description

Stephen Gillen was once described as an organised crime boss and one of Britain's most dangerous prisoners. After serving a number of lengthy prison sentences  he embarks on a life changing journey. One that benefits him and others. As a dangerous prisoner he spent years in and out of secure units - inside maximum security prisons. However, Stephen Gillen is no exception to the vast number of prisoners who turn their lives around after crime and punishment - but his story is a compelling testimony as to why we should never write people off because of their past.Links: Stephen Gillen You Tubewww.stephengillen.com  Second Chance: facebook.com/RaphaelRowePodcast/Second Chance Webpage: Second ChanceWebsite: Raphael-Rowe.com  Instagram: @areporterTwitter: @areporter) Sound by Joe Adams Podcasts| Audio AvalancheSupport the show

Second Chance is a podcast series that explores the theme of second chance. It raises the questions who deserves a second chance, who decides who gets a second chance and what a second chance actually means. On this podcast we speak to people from all walks of life about their experiences, some who have been given a second chance in life, some who might be considered to be beyond deserving a second chance. The host of the podcast series is Raphael Rowe, host of the critically acclaimed series ‘Inside the World's Toughest Prisons’ on Netflix. He is also a former correspondent for the world's longest running BBC TV current affairs show Panorama the BBC Radio 4 Today programme as well as a regular contributor on The One Show and Sunday Morning Live on BBC One. In 1988, aged 20, he was sentenced to life imprisonment for a murder and robbery he did not commit. In July 2000, after 12 years in prison, the Court of Appeal quashed his wrongful convictions and he was freed.
