"You lock any living creature up in a cage, first thing it does is circle that cage looking for a weakness. Even a plant you put in a dark corner, it will grow towards the light". Powerful words by John Massey.

I delivered to his mum as a postman. Really funny lady, she was always talking about her son, who was in prison, a really lovely woman. Little did I know this man was her son. She was very ill and I remember the amount of police cars/vans who turned up looking for him in Castlehaven Road as he had escaped to say his goodbyes to her.

3 mins in and even from a totally different culture I can just see it drippin off him. This guy reminds me of the dude that taught me just cause someone's old doesnt mean they're soft. That was an important lesson for me n showed me what that life leads u to being

He actually looks really good for a man in his 70’s.

He’s done his time and it was hard time and I hope he has a fantastic life in his remaining years.

Wow 43 years this guy will never get back, he literally missed out on his whole life. Honestly if I was him at his age I wouldn’t even want to get out of prison. He literally said the day he’s truely free is the day he dies.. this interview here was a big eye opener & this needs to be showed to the youth because we have this generation running wild stabbing & killing each other for what ? Postcodes or gangs. It’s very sad to see what this world has become. Thank you for this wonderful interview.

Would have been interesting to know the change he saw on the outside. Stuff like mobiles etc, the whole world changed

Breaks my soul for the lives lost. Including his

In his defense all his 'escapes' are for totally reasonable reasons lol

One thing that was told to me when i was younger. Don't do crime. When you commit a crime, that crime controls your life. When the system gets a hold of you. The system takes your life.

Great interview, these interviews can give a false picture of a person, he was a problem for society from day one, stealing, fighting and killing. A brutal man who led a brutal life..........

I spent time with john in Pentonville and he was always a gentleman and a great training partner. I hope he enjoys the rest of his life as a free man

These people that have gone through similar experiences develop a natural poetry in them and with the way they talk
The way he ended this was so amazing and harshly tender

Before he even said it, I knew he would say he was bored of "retirement " 😂

Not even watching but I just saw the thumbnail and I gotta say this man's beard is the best I've ever seen lol

The sad price of choosing rebellion as a way of life and then not just losing your entire life, but also failing to see how you screwed yourself over - because rebellion blinds you.

I remember reading a news article in 2012 online about a prisoner escape, i remembered his name after all these years John Massey, i looked more into it and it made me sad to see someone make a huge mistake when they were young and grow old in jail, it's crazy i just clicked on this video and i never recognised him at all he looks so different from the 2012 mugahot (which for some reason i remembered perfectly) and when they were saying his first and last name I couldn't believe it. Im glad he's out now, hope he lives the rest of his years happily.

The man he Killed that night, ws a man called Charlie. My Dad was supposed to be working on the door with him that night. Lets not glamourise this, John was sentenced for murder, it was John Massey and John Massey alone who was responsible for his sentence being prolonged as it was. It was self inflicted. I'm glad he is looking well after such a long period of reflection.
