Description

Steve shares in full his remarkable story for the first time. After being sentenced to life imprisonment for murder, what Steve witnessed at HMP Frankland, a Category A prison, made him change his life forever. From cell fires and inmates pouring boiling oil over each other, to violent feuds and gang battles on prison wings. After losing everything, he vowed to never use violence again.

In November 2019, Steve's redemptive journey led him to a Learning Together event at Fishmongers' Hall, hosted by his mentor, Jack Merritt, and attended by Saskia Jones. It was here, on his first day out of prison on day release, that Steven was forced to break his vow as he bravely confronted and fought armed-terrorist Usman Khan on London Bridge. Armed just with a narwhal tusk, Steve wrestled and held Khan to the ground while he waited for the police to arrive.

Pacy, compelling and utterly inspiring, this is Steve Gallant's powerful story of redemption.
