One Day A Successful Business Owner & Father, The Next A Prisoner

Published: June 23, 2021, 2 p.m.

One day a successful business owner and father, the next a prisoner
Paul was a 21-year-old with everything going for him - the owner of a successful roof tiling business, a loving partner and father of two. However, keeping up with it all resulted in an immense amount of stress. Turning to alcohol to cope, Paul ended up assaulting someone under the influence.
When he was arrested and taken into custody, Paul, who didn’t realise the gravity of the situation, pondered over what he’ll be ordering from Hungry Jacks when he got out later that afternoon.
He wouldn’t get out for another three years.
Join Mick and Mark as they chat to Paul about how prison time can affect a young family.
