This week in the Life After Prison studio Zak & Jules are joined by Frankie Stedman. Frankie was involved in a major drug conspiracy that led to a nine-year sentence—but since coming out, he’s turned things around. He now runs his own scaffolding business and goes into schools to share his story and help young people make better choices. Frank is also incredibly walking 200 MILES, from our HMP Styal HQ to our HMP Brixton HQ, to raise money for our charity and raise awareness of the power of National Prison Radio.
