He spent the next 37 years working to try to give offenders a chance and help them move away from crime and find their way to a law - abiding existence. The barriers to success were all too often the attitudes of police and sentencers the state of prisons and the prejudices of ignorant or biased politicians. This is a candid account of those years of hard work frustration and occasional triumph
