Beschreibung

The day he entered the notorious Feltham Young Offenders Institution, Michael Maisey was excited. He was going to be a legend to all his mates. The sixteen-year-old was in for attempted murder. He was innocent of this particular crime but, amongst the violent and dangerous young men on his wing, he was about to learn exactly how far he'd go to survive.

In Young Offender we see what turned a good kid into a wanted criminal. Abused by his uncle and bullied at school, at the age of twelve he found the safety he craved in the ranks of a local gang in west London. He graduated from shoplifting to armed robbery and for five years Michael was in and out of Feltham, on a downward spiral of crime and drug-and-alcohol addiction. At rock bottom, he began attending AA meetings. But the road to recovery would mean changing himself in the deepest possible ways. Could Michael finally learn what it meant to be a good man?

Honest and inspiring, this is a powerful story of redemption. Today Michael is a successful businessman and a loving father who spends time helping others to find their way.
