[@kaneperry4230]

Dodge mate, unreal. The questions you ask, the people you get on, the way you get them to elaborate on their stories, bring out emotion. Class

[@deangleeson3595]

This man escaped prison/ breached his licence a few times to be with a dying relative and ending up serving over double his original sentance, id been in winson green for 24 months and still had 42 months left in jail when i found out my father was dying, i thought about escaping every single day, i was a mess, i just thank god i met my wife and had kids after my jail time, dont wory about jail being physical its the mental game that will get you

[@Home.Barissta]

But if you hadn’t done the crime in the first place you wouldn’t be in that position, same as the guy on the pod, sorry to hear about your dad

[@sillyssg]

What a great listen. I had the pleasure of meeting John in the early nineties at HMP Wandsworth. A larger than life character who brought a bit of light in a dark place.

[@LloydChristmas-tx5sq]

These old school men are way more interesting to listen to, Dodge, I hate to make a request but if it’s possible you must get John Hilton on if possible. He’s only done one pod (SA) he’s about 94 now and knew every face imaginable and served 2 life sentences (separately) hard to believe he still exists really. Thanks, lee in Vietnam..

Johns as legit as they come. Loved the interview. Thanks.

[@kyliebaby1391]

In answer to his question, he absolutely isn’t the worst of the people who’ve killed, let alone worse than all the criminals in or out in Britain. I work with some of the most violent ex offenders and he seems genuine, he accepts responsibility not just because of the extra 23yrs but through heart. Unlike the nonces that get 3yrs or less for ruining every child’s life they’ve ever come into contact with, most of those kids end up in prison or the mental health system due to trauma. In my opinion they are the ones that should never get out or a life sentence for every child they abused. Just like the children who never recover. VP wings are the easiest in any prison. That’s a direct quote from those monsters. I’m lucky I rarely cross paths with them. John you were done over and my heart goes out to you. 🤗

What an amazing story of johns life.Related in the most simple of terms no glamour.The regret that door man shouldn’t have fallen onto him, there was no intent to kill anyone in that club. As for the Prison system he beat it in my opinion he wasn’t broken . Live the remainder of your life happy and in good health John .

Fantastic interview 👌👍 And about time someone in the know talked honestly about Bronson's narcissistic bollox, and the acolytes who he has fooled into believe him, the last grift being the " long lost son " demanding a public parole hearing. 🤔 I wish Mr Massy all the best in the next chapter of this thing we call life. 🙏🙏

I will say this John after 43 years in Jail and the violence you received from the Thugs posing as Prison Officers all debts for your past are Paid in Full and you don't strike me as a bad person any way but woe betide any man that crosses you're friends family or loved ones, Lifes getting short for both me an you John and the Past is a country you can never revisit,so good luck John and make the most of your future................Great Interview Dodge and at times tough for both of you.

[@timcahill7566]

Class act as a man. What is sad is the fact he has so much time on his hands that he has all the time in the world to tell a story!! This isn't meant to be an issue but an observation as is never someone else's fault

[@VH19845]

Interesting character. Not sure I agree with the argument relating to the severity of his sentence, and his belief "I'm not as bad as some people" angle. If you don’t want to do the time, don’t do the crime. An interesting interview. Im always fascinated how these people end up as heroes, or revered for what they've done with things downplayed to a "You've lived a life, you little rascal haven't you?!" Is it because they're all ancient now and because they look like someone's Grandad? Does that take the edge off what they've done in their younger days to make it more palletable? Good, interesting, thought provoking interview.
