Young Offender – Michael Maisey
Our book of the month for December is “Young Offender – My Life from Armed Robber to Local Hero” by Michael Maisey, Non Profit Founder, Author and Mentor – From Prison to Purpose.
In Young Offender we see what turned a good kid into a wanted criminal. Abused by his uncle, bullied at school, at the age of twelve he found the safety he craved in the ranks of a local gang in West London. He graduated from shoplifting to armed robbery and for five years Michael was in and out of Feltham, on a downward spiral of crime and drug and alcohol addiction. At rock bottom, he began attending AA meetings. But the road to recovery would mean changing himself in the deepest possible ways. Could Michael finally learn what it meant to be a good man?
