Breaking the Pattern
With Sam's background - a violent, neglectful home. a family tradition of prison, children in long-term care- it's not surprising that he ended up in Borstal. ' I was just fated for prison.' he says. But at that point the familiar, depressing pattern of life was broken, because in Borstal Sam came under the influence of the governor, a remarkable man whose care and concern helped him to reshape his life. The story of Sam has been compiled and written by SU DALGI. EISH Presented by Sue MacGregor Producer
