Kevin Lane is no angel but he says he’s not a killer.
Growing up he was known as Lights Out Lane, settling scores, usually with violence. For much of his adult life, Kevin was in prison, first for kidnapping, which he accepts, then for a brutal murder, which he denies. He was convicted of being a callous hitman and sentenced to life but Kevin claims he was ‘fitted up’ and wrote 10,000 letters in protest, earning the label the UK’s Mr. Shawshank.
He’s out with a tag on his leg now and joins broadcaster Martin Frizell and emeritus Professor of Criminology David Wilson to share his views on current prison life and his colourful past. It’s across two episodes and gives a rare insight into life inside what Kevin calls the concrete coffin.
