Parenting from behind bars | Sean Henry

Sean Henry received multiple prison terms through his early adult life. But receiving a long sentence for a serious offence when his son was just two months old, Sean discovered a different perspective on his own life and the way he had been acting.

With precious support from key people in his life, including his son's mother and their extended family, Sean gradually but decisively made the changes that have transformed his future. His son is now an adult and Sean is able to reflect on why things turned out for him the way they did. 

Sean now works for Sussex Prisoners Families, as well as working with young people who are at risk of following the path Sean followed.
