King Hit

By Dean King


I am a living testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Twelve years behind bars, battling addiction, and living rock bottom—I've been there. But in '89, I stumbled upon the unexpected key to my liberation. Today, I'm not just a survivor; I'm a creator, an entrepreneur, an author, and the force behind a soon-to-be Netflix series chronicling my unconventional journey.
In this space, we're not just talking. We're diving deep into the human experience, exploring the triumphs that rise from adversity. I've turned my struggles into dreams.

We are all victims in one way, but we don't have to be. this video will discuss the dangers of it.

One of our biggest dangers is not seeing the victim in us. By denying our victimhood, we deny ourselves compassion and understanding. We also deny others the chance to see themselves as victims, which can lead to further harm. So please join me as I explore this topic further.

Great prison escape Boggo Road laundry Truck.

Great prison escape Boggo Road laundry Truck.

GREAT ESCAPE
On : 27 February, 2019 By : Coordinator Category : Stories View : 1329

The 1980s were the most turbulent decade in the history of Boggo Road Gaol.

Riots, roof-top protests and hunger-strikes by prisoners became the norm. On Saturday 11 March 1989 the biggest mass-breakout ever took place when eight prisoners managed to escape Brisbane Prison.

Officers remember it as the “Laundry Truck Escape.” Journalists called it “The Great Escape.” Prisoners called it the “Boggo Road Fun Run.”

As the prison laundry van readied to leave No.1 Division, 30 prisoners exercising on a nearby oval raced towards the inner hydraulic gate. One got his leg caught as it closed; eight made it into the gatehouse. Armed with replica guns, they forced officers to open a side door before fleeing down the driveway to a waiting vehicle under gunfire from the tower.

All were recaptured, including the mastermind of the escape Frankie Post, convicted rapist and armed robber.

Blame was laid on the gatehouse officer who was selling raffle tickets at the time of the escape – though this was unfair. He had not received an internal memo issued two days earlier warning an escape was planned. A breakdown of communication and chronic under-staffing were really to blame.

This dramatic escape is now part of Queensland’s prison history…

When something fails we sought to fix it. If we don’t see personal failures, we will never improve.

Life really is about becoming the best you can possibly become. Our struggles and handling of ourselves will work for or against us. Failing is essential to better who we are.
