Synopsis

They say that the final 12 months of any long prison sentence is the hardest - feelings of joy, excitement and relief are overshadowed by fear, trepidation and nervousness, many don't make it to the end, they end things on their terms or simply reoffend inside to extend their sentence.Fight or flight in one of it's most primal forms.That is exactly where notorious armed robber Terry Ellis found himself, at the end of a 16 year sentence for one of the most audacious heists the country had ever witness, a $4million harware robbery from Verizon in Kings Cross.Terry details his journey through resettlement prison, the highs and lows of a journey many who have not lived through a sentence would consider a positive part of the journey.Reality is often very different, Terry had 365 days to put everything in place to keep him off the streets, to keep him out of prison and to reconnect with the people his crimes had stolen him away from.Find out what really happens in UK resettlement jails and ask yourself whether or not they are fit for purpose, whether or not they release men back into society armed with the tools and resources to remain free of crime, after all surely that is what prison is supposed to be, societies chance to press the reset button on those of us that have lost our way.This is Terry's no holds barred account of his final year, the countdown to his freedom.
