Manage episode 330308248 series 2934054
Will was a husband, dad and corporate employee living in outer eastern Melbourne when his life started to unravel. On the outside, his life looked like the suburban dream, but things were not well… and he ended up going to jail.
Will wrote a memoir Mr Ordinary Goes to Jail about his experience and, as you’ll hear him share, his whole outlook on life has changed.
Mr Ordinary Goes to Jail is published by Bad Apple Press.
