Episode 56 (Lived Experience Part 24) Will Patterson – I was a suburban husband, dad and corporate employee…then I went to jail

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.
