He said he had been talking to children for the thrill of it. He said that he needed help and was getting worse and wanted to stop." The 25-year-old alleged that he risked being killed as a result of a "blood feud" in Albania which began when his father was accused of murder.

Richard Gibbs, mitigating, told the court: "He instructs me his father has been accused of murder in that country and there is what he characterises as a blood feud on his family. After my arrival at Parkhurst prison on the Isle of Wight, I again found myself in segregation. It was wrongly claimed that I had involvement with drug smuggling into the prison. I did sell some drugs within the prison, but I was innocent of the smuggling investigation.

I’d quiz it, saying, ‘So if I’ve done this I can still go to heaven?’ and they’d go, ‘If you repent’.” He has been on the streets and his drug habit has got worse, using mamba which he has never used before. Matthew Smith, mitigating, said that Evans got involved in the drugs offences because he "had a significant debt to those who supplied him previously."

The judge said he expected Bardhosi would be held in detention until his deportation takes place, adding: "One hopes this time you do not return." All the hate, anger and resentment seeped away as I cried, leaving me feeling lifted. Yet I can remember asking Eddie Baker not to tell anyone I’d been crying. He replied that he wouldn’t need to because I would tell them myself. Though he has now changed his ways, Shane is brutally honest about the lifestyle that led him to be marked as “dangerous” by the Home Office.

Why did Shane Taylor get sent to prison?

This is a must read–about one of Britain’s most dangerous convicts coming to faith in Jesus Christ. Mr. Taylor’s story exemplifies God’s hand of mercy upon even those that we consider the worst of the worst. Praise God that He saves sinners like Mr. Taylor, you, and me! Within weeks of that experience in 2006, Shane was out of segregation and working in the trusted position of chaplaincy cleaner. He admitted: “One of the lads said, ‘You get free chocolate gateau and biscuits,’ so I said, ‘Put my name down’.” He recalls first indulging in crime as a boy when he and a friend smashed open a phone box and took coins from inside.

He was once one of the six most dangerous inmates in Britain. But as Shane sits in his family’s neat front room, filled with children’s books and religious DVDs, bar his vast build, it’s hard to imagine he shared a prison wing with Britain’s most notorious prisoner Charles Bronson. Bardosi pleaded guilty to being in the UK without leave; drink driving; having no licence or insurance; obstructing a police officer; using a false document. Shortly afterwards I was to deliver some ecstasy tablets to another local dealer. On my arrival I was offered out by another man who accused me of chasing the youth’s mother with the knife. He told me that God was trying to touch my life - He was trying to open my eyes but that I just didn’t know it yet.When the OAP said she did not hit Burton, Wheelhouse went on: "You did. I saw you. Why did you hit her?" He then placed his hand on my head and told me to pray, but to genuinely pray, to mean it from the heart. The court heard they had been married for eight years. Things turned bad when Rewers, 39, started drinking heavily after he set up a company buying and selling cars.

SHANE TAYLOR was one of Britain’s most dangerous convicts until a rare trip out of his prison cell led him to God. District Judge Leo Pyle told him: "He had every right to confront you. You were committing offences and he was the manager."The following year, he met his wife Sam, 24, with whom he now has four children — Angel, five, Grace, four, Isaac, two, and 12-week-old Jacob. This theft marked the start of a 17-year campaign of drugs, robberies, burglaries and all kinds of savage violence. Weeks later, Shane’s changed behaviour meant a trusted job with the prison chaplaincy instead of permanent segregation. Almost a year after that Alpha day he was freed from prison. It is all too easy for all of us, I am afraid, to look at a computer screen and pretend real life is not there.
