When the OAP said she did not hit Burton, Wheelhouse went on: "You did. I saw you. Why did you hit her?" Within weeks of that experience in 2006, Shane was out of segregation and working in the trusted position of chaplaincy cleaner. Judge Stuart Rafferty QC said Mitchell's attitude made it "an unusual case, almost unique in my experience." Because of that, he felt the two-year probation course would prevent a repeat. It includes 35 one-on-one sessions.

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.It was an amazing set of coincidences that led him there: Shane wasn't on the list to go in, but was misdirected by an officer who sent him to the chapel. It is having a really bad effect on him. He feels he could work round it better in custody than on the streets, where he could well commit further offences. Evans, 32, admitted having Class A drugs with intent to supply other people. He also pleaded guilty to dangerous driving. From a young age, Shane Taylor started to burgle houses and steal cars; he stabbed people and sold drugs. Soon he was on the run for kidnapping and attempted murder "I was classed as one of Britain’s most dangerouspeople" In prison I went wild. I lost hope, I lost love and I did not care if I got ‘life’ since I lost all my inhibitions. But now I know God is real and he can change your life,” Shane told an Alpha supper hosted by Christ Community Church in Attleborough, a couple of weeks ago.

A court heard that two shop assistants were assaulted as he tried to escape from a clothes shop in Sherwood. Three council workers helped to detain him. The charge was dropped to wounding with intent and affray but he received a sentence of four years and nine months. Miss Picardo told the court: "He returned to Poland and sought medical help and was given an implant so he would not abuse alcohol. At that time, before he found God, the thought of getting out and killing them was what got him through. Bardhosi failed a roadside breath test and was later found to have 79 micrograms of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath, just over double the legal limit. He had neither insurance nor a driving licence.Things became very heated between us and I ended up stabbing the man. Obviously I didn’t wait around for the police to come and went on the run to avoid getting caught. And on one occasion, he grabbed her jaw and was shouting: "You don't deserve to be alive," added Miss Picardo.

A REFORMED Middlesbrough man once classed as one of the most dangerous prisoners in Britain has told how finding God has changed his life.However my faith in Jesus is now unshakable. I try to follow God’s instructions, and sometimes I feel as though I fail him, but faith keeps me going along the right road. During my adolescence and teenage years, my crimes included burglary of houses, shops, factories, etc, and stealing anything I could get my hands on, including cars. Shane said: “It was straight off the Cat A van, into the segregation unit. I was put on the ‘Ghost Train’.”

On previous occasions, my "prayers" had been only to save myself from prison, or when I was down and feeling sorry for my plight when I had been in prisons before. I was also heavily influenced by my uncle, who had gained himself a reputation for fighting, and I mistakenly envied the "respect" he gained from other people. After the hearing, councillor Tony Harper, chair of Nottinghamshire County Council's Adult Social Care and Public Health Committee, said: "We welcome the custodial sentence of two care workers for the verbal abuse of an elderly victim in 2018. At the time I didn’t understand what he meant by that, but during my time in segregation I got a clear vision in my mind of Robert Bull the Christian, and an overwhelming urge to write to him. Jesus has changed my life,’ Shane says. ‘Jesus has shown me how to love and how to forgive. Almost all the people I’ve upset, all the people I stabbed, all the people I hurt, have forgiven me and now we talk. I’m helping with Alpha in prisons. Now I’m able to tell other prisoners about Jesus – it’s amazing.’When I stopped praying we started to talk. Suddenly a bubbly energy seemed to start within me. It rose up from deep within my belly, moved up my body and through my chest. My emotions opened up and I found myself crying. So now, here he was, standing in the middle of the road, trying to make sense of the results. They weren't quite what he had expected. Not only was the guy still standing, but he was also dragging the blade slowly out from where it was lodged, blood fountaining on to the tarmac. He pointed it at Taylor. Emma Hodgson, mitigating, said: "A prison and pre-sentence report confirms that the defendant is now completely drug free.
