When I was looking at all these people around me that I thought were quite successful in life and had all the trappings of wealth, they went out and people showed them respect”. For a twenty-five-year-old law student with no criminal record andno illegal habits or proclivities, the presence and the attention of a man who gave all indications of being employed by some branch of law enforcement should have caused no concern whatsoever. But it never worked that way with Kyle McAvoy. Street cops and state troopers didn’t particularly bother him. They were paid to simply react. But the guys in dark suits, the investigators and agents, the ones trained to dig deep and discover secrets–those types still unnerved him. By the time he was 18, he was immersed so deeply in the underworld that a prison sentence for the possession of a gun wasn’t enough to change his trajectory – indeed, it only made it worse. Jasper Jolly McAvoy was clearly aged beyond his years by the experience, but perhaps the greatest influence was a disdain for a life of struggle that is led by so many.

McAvoy had joined Kevin Brown, who was 47 at the time, in plotting to rob armoured vehicles near Sudbury. However, the pair were caught and McAvoy was given an almost unheard of life sentence, with the added bonus of being a Category A prisoner – the highest level of offender in the system – because of his associates and consequently escape risk. At a succession of other prisons, including Belmarsh, McAvoy sat “literally rotting” in the company of criminals; the 32 year old even shared a wing at one point with notorious Islamist terrorist, Abu Hamza. He was to spend eight years behind bars. Epiphany behind bars

Practical solutions and simple interventions to help you de-stress and re-set your life. Find Out More While McAvoy is forthright about “this overwhelming desire that I’m going to be successful in life at something” (to the extent that he gently dismisses the idea of marriage or family any time soon) he has also started seeing how he could use his story to inspire others.

The decrepit old horn finally squawked. The game was mercifully over. One team cheered, and one team really didn’t care. Both lined up for the obligatoryhigh fives and “Good game, good game,” as meaningless to twelve-year-olds as it is to college players. As Kyle congratulated the opposing coach, he glanced down the court. The white man was gone. As a keen triathlete I was aware of John but had never got round to reading his story until it was given to me as a Christmas present, completely by chance. More fool me for not reading this book earlier...

What I’ve noticed is that rowing rewards hard work. It doesn’t matter if you’ve been to Oxford or Cambridge University, I have never once had any one person look down at me” John McAvoy There are depths to the character McAvoy not usually found in crime drama which add to the stories lifting them out of the run if the mill crime drama. Highly recommend the McAvoy series. The rules of the New Haven Youth League required that each kid play at least ten minutes in each game. Exceptions were allowed for players who had upset their coaches by skipping practice or violating other rules. In such cases, a coach could file a report before the game and inform the scorekeeper that so-and-so wouldn’t play much, if at all, because of some infraction. This was frowned on by the league; it was, after all, much more recreational than competitive. Marquis was only eleven, but clearly the best player on the court. He preferred shooting and scoring over passing and defending, and within two minutes he’d slashed through the lane, around and through and over much larger players, and scored six points. His average was fourteen, and if allowed to play more than half a game, he could probably score thirty. In his own young opinion, he really didn’t need to practice.With four minutes left in the game, Coach Kyle looked down the bench, nodded at a somber and pouting little boy named Marquis, and said, “Do you want to play?” Without responding, Marquis walked to the scorers’ table and waited for a whistle. His violations were -numerous–skipping practice, skipping school, bad grades, losing his uniform, foul language. In fact, after ten weeks and fifteen games, Marquis had broken every one of the few rules his coach tried to enforce. Coach Kyle had long since realized that any new rule would be immediately violated by his star, and for that reason he trimmed his list and fought the temptation to add new regulations. It wasn’t working. Trying to control ten inner-city kids with a soft touch had put the Red Knights in last place in the 12 and Under division of the winter league.
