Many of you who follow my Netflix series ‘Inside The Worlds Toughest Prisons’ will remember that in season 4 I spent time in Tacumbú penitentiary where I met and interviewed a man named Pablo Alejandro Junior Valdovinos, 32. He was recently found dead in prison. My condolences go

World's Toughest Prisons 'Tacumbu' and it's absolutely horrific.
We could get into a whole thing about my views on the prison & reform system, but no human should have to live like that. How is that meant to help anyone?

Swinfen Hall is a young adult prison for 18-28 year olds. I was invited speak to young guys serving long sentences for violent offences. Some of these boys were locked up aged 16 or younger for knife crime. I donated copies of my book for them to see there is a way out!

It’s difficult to make new documentaries because of lockdown. But here’s the next best thing. My brand new channel of crime and justice documentaries hand picked by me.
I met Reggie Kray - one of the Kray twins - notorious London gangsters - in prison.
He gave me this signed print of him and his brother and wrote at the bottom “Raph your be a winner”....
He wasn’t wrong! More in my book ‘NOTORIOUS’ out later this year!

Jordan Trengove was falsely accused of rape. His accuser self inflicted horrific injuries in an attempt to substantiate her claims. In all she accused six innocent men. She was found guilty of perverting the courts of justice and sentenced to eight and a half years in prison.
Who'd thought this in 1988, when I was arrested and later imprisoned for life, but released after 12 years, for crimes I did not commit! Things change, never forget that!

This man is in prison and suffers mental health issues. He is being punished in prison for breaking the rules and is seen here serving 14 days in a isolation cell. I was there when this photo was taken. Some question the use of segregation or isolation cells. Do you?
Jon was 18 when he stabbed another young man because he was angry. He was angry because he felt society had given up on him. Society did not give up on Jon. He went on to work as a sous chef in one of Jamie Oliver's restaurants. Do you believe in giving people a Second Chance?
This man is a prisoner in Tacumbu Penitentiary in Paraguay. He sleeps with this knife to protect himself from other prisoners. I couldn’t believe it when he showed me it. Want to know why? Watch S4 of ‘Inside The World’s Toughest Prisons’ 29th July.
