Sergeant Rhys Rutledge of the Welsh Guards explains why he thinks people deserve a second chance after turning his own life around from convicted drug dealer to successful soldier. He's set up a project with the Army's backing called Defeat Don't Repeat to help prisoners and young people who might be at risk of offending to stay away from crime. Through presentations and a residential training course involving physical challenges and teamwork, he aims to communicate a message of hope. "I want to engage with people who share a similar background to me, who may have found themselves on the wrong side of the law and have now managed to turn their life around and move on to a successful path. This would demonstrate how it's possible to move on in life and make the ultimate change for the better."
