Crime and abhorrent punishment P1 - Russell Manser

Russell Manser served 23-years behind bars in Northern Territory, Queensland and NSW prisons and made a name as one of Australia's most notorious criminals before leaving a life of crime behind and starting a charity that would offer support to victims of physical, emotional and sexual abuse at the hands of institutions, as they seek justice.Russell grew up in Western Sydney, for him, bank robbers who came from his area were people he looked up to, men who coming home from prison were so often greeted like hero's. Russell didn't come from a broken home, in fact he came from a very law abiding household where upholding the family name was important. Unfortunately Russell's life was taking a different direction.This is the story of former Australian Bank Robber Russell Manser, as told by him.You can hear Russell's podcast here Hosted on Acast.
