Drug Lord to Celebrated Artist - Stephen Mee
<p>The fascinating life of former drug lord Stephen Mee really is what dramatised movies try to replicate. Originally from Northern Manchester, Stephen faced many challenges throughout his upbringing, including personal loss and family struggles. Despite discovering his artistic talent early on, he also became involved in a life of crime. It culminated in 1996, when he was given 30 years for importing class 'A' drugs. His stories about his involvement in the trafficking of millions of pounds and hundreds of kilos of cocaine with Turkish, Albanian, and Colombian crime groups beggars belief. Stephen served sixteen and a half years in prison. His life took a turn during his time in prison, where he pursued his passion for fine arts, leading to a transformative experience. He has now established himself as a professional artist, drawing inspiration from both his past and present experiences.</p><br><p>Listeners of this podcast can receive 50% off a subscription to the <a href="https://www.crimeandinvestigationplay.co.uk/?utm_source=raphaelrowe&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=secondchance" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Crime+Investigation Play app</a>, where you can stream thousands of hours of unmissable true crime content, all ad free.

Criminal - Angela Kirwin
<p>Angela Kirwin spent over a decade working in some of the most notorious prisons in Britain, where she documented her experiences and the stories of the men she met in her book "Criminal." </p><br><p>On this podcast Angela told me the current prison system is failing the most vulnerable members of our society, as she discovered while working inside prisons. She believes that prison is not a separate world, but rather a place where the most damaged and vulnerable people in our society end up. Not only is the system ineffective, but it also contributes to habitual criminality, making society less safe and less humane. It is, she says, high time that governments take notice of this issue and implement steps to improve the situation.</p><br><p><strong>Guest Links:</strong></p><br><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/angelakirwinuk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Angela’s Instgram</strong></a></p><br><p><a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Criminal-How-Our-Prisons-Failing/dp/1398705837" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Angela’s Book</strong></a></p><br><p><br></p><p><strong>Second Chance Podcast Links:</strong></p><br><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@secondchancepodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Second Chance on YouTube</a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/podcastsecondchance/?hl=en-gb" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Second Chance on Instagram</a></p><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/secondchancepodcast/?viewAsMember=true" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Second Chance on LinkedIn</a></p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/RaphaelRowePodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Second Chance on Facebook</a></p><p><a href="https://raphael-rowe.com/second-chance" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Raphael's Website</a></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
