One of my most memorable encounters as a former jailbird was with ‘Ali’, a notorious gangster whom I met days after he was released from a high security prison.
He’d just completed several long sentences for firearms offences and serious violence. We’d become connected through a mutual friend who was one of Ali’s neighbours in HMP Belmarsh — home to the UK’s most notorious and dangerous criminals.
