Once I discovered education, that became my drug and that kept me sane.
Ever wondered what it's like to turn your life around after years of crime? Meet Noel and Cornai, two men with stories that are as gripping as they are transformative. In this episode of 'The Gap', Noel, a former bank robber, and Cornai, an ex-drug dealer, open up about their tumultuous pasts and the roads they took to reclaim their lives.
Noel, who once served time in some of Britain's toughest prisons, recounts how he fell deeper into crime after his first stint behind bars. Meanwhile, Cornai shares his experience of being caught with 50 kilos of cutting agent for cocaine, leading to a six-year prison sentence. Both men discuss the allure of quick money and the addictive nature of violence, offering raw insights into the mental toll their lifestyles took on them.
But the episode isn't just about their past mistakes. It's also about redemption. Noel talks about how education became his saving grace, giving him a new purpose and keeping him grounded. Cornai, on the other hand, found meaning in mentoring young people, guiding them away from the pitfalls he once fell into.
Their stories serve as powerful reminders that it's never too late to change course and that education can be a lifeline for those looking to break free from a cycle of crime. 'The Gap' offers a unique platform for these heartfelt conversations, bridging generations and experiences to shed light on the complex issues many prefer to avoid. Tune in for an episode that is as enlightening as it is inspiring.
