Michael Irwin was arrested at Gatwick Airport in 2007 with 1.1 kilograms of cocaine hidden in the lining of a bag he’d collected in the Caribbean. At the time he was addicted to cocaine and alcohol. He was sentenced to twelve years for drug trafficking. He served six in prison and six outside on licence. Whilst in prison Michael studied criminology and psychology and upon release he completed a masters at Queen's University Belfast. His second chance in life started in prison and his book ‘My Life began at Forty’ is an inspiring and fantastic resource for those with loved ones - or themselves - facing time in prison.Links for more about Michael Irwin :TwitterFacebookConvict CriminologyMichael's BookSecond Chance Podcast Links:WebsiteBuzzsproutApple PodcastAudibleFacebookDonation Support:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/secondchance1Support the show
