Chicken Tikka, Close Calls & The Day My Parole Was Decided

In this mid-season episode of MX5942 – This Is Me, I explain how I along with another pull off one of prison life's boldest favours—an unsanctioned curry run dressed as a medical emergency. From fake sprains to government transport and a Hemel detour featuring one unforgettable punchline, The Curry Run unfolds with razor-sharp timing, laughter, and a quiet kind of trust. But the mood shifts. Later in the episode, I share the moment my parole decision landed. Not the letter—the verdict. After all the waiting, tension, and second-guessing, it arrives without fanfare but with life-altering weight. This episode finds balance between mischief and meaning. Because behind every foil container and one-liner, there’s a man waiting for a decision that could change everything.
