Going Straight is the flagship publication behind the launch of
Unlock, the National Association of Ex-Offenders. It contains
revealing interviews with people who have 'succeeded' after prison
and in some cases a 'criminal career'. The book looks at a range of
offenders who have changed their way of life. They include famous,
notorious, creative and ordinary people who were prepared to talk
about the turning point in their lives when they left crime behind.
Their candid explanations about how they rebuilt their lives -
often full of remorse for their victims and determined to repay
something to their communities - are challenging, illuminating and
a cause for optimism. They include ex-burglar John Bowers (later an
editor of prison newspaper Inside Time), former violent criminal
Frank Cook (a sculptor and author), ex drug-dealer Peter Cameron (a
successful artist whose work features on the front cover), Great
Train Robbery mastermind Bruce Reynolds, actor Stephen Fry, former
armed gangster Bob Cummines (the first Chief Executive of Unlock)
and Cameron Mackenzie (Glasgow villain turned minister of
religion). Others include a self-made millionaire, a one-time
compulsive gambler, an individual involved in The Troubles in
Northern Ireland - and one or two who chose to use a pseudonym.
