In this two-part episode of The Clink, Dean Marks shares his journey from life inside some of Australia’s toughest prisons to the long and difficult road back into society. He speaks candidly about crime, addiction, survival behind bars and the turning points that forced him to confront the life he was living. But leaving prison didn’t mean leaving the struggle behind. Freedom brought its own challenges — temptation, stigma, and the fight to build a future when your past follows you everywhere.
