Legacy Chats Sits Down With Life After Prison

Today on Life After Prison, Zak is joined by Rory Newton, host of *Legacy Chats*.  Raised in Luton and shaped by early loss and instability, Rory found himself caught between two worlds — trying to move forward while still tied to his past. In his early twenties, that led him down a path he’d tried to avoid, resulting in a prison sentence for intent to supply Class A drugs.  But this conversation isn’t about the crime — it’s about what came after.  From prison to rebuilding, setbacks, fatherhood, and finding purpose, Rory is now using his story to challenge others to take accountability and build a better legacy.  Organisations:  Spark2Life - Committed to preventing youth offending and promoting emotional wellbeing in children and young adults (11–30 years old), particularly those facing exclusion, exploitation, or criminal justice involvement. https://spark2life.co.uk/    XO Bikes (London) - Trains and employ ex-offenders as bicycle mechanics, providing prison-based training and post-release work opportunities to reduce reoffending and support community reintegration. https://xobikes.com/  Samaritans - Provides free, confidential emotional support to anyone who is struggling to cope, experiencing distress, or having thoughts of suicide.
