Netflix Presenter, Raphael Rowe speaks to the Student Pocket Guide about the 12 years he spent in maximum security prisons for a murder and robberies he did not commit. Raphael describes what it's like being locked up for 22 hours a day, on his own in a cell with just a bible. He talks about how he mentally coped through the extremely tough 12 years behind bars during his twenties, as an innocent man, until the Court of Appeal quashed his convictions and he was freed in 2000.
In the second half of the interview Raphael tells us about his experiences from his recent Netflix series 'Inside the World's Toughest Prisons'. Spending 1 week inside the toughest prisons in Brazil, Ukraine, Papua New guinea and Belize; Raphael meets some of the worlds most deadliest convicts serving life behind bars. He talks about the shocking prison conditions, prison gangs, riots, brutal murders and what it was like meeting Ukraine's most deadliest serial killer; Serhiy Tkach; a man who's been convicted of killing 37 women and girls from 1980-2005 and suspected of killing over 100.
Raphael also reveals some very exciting news for fans of the Netflix show, and confirms the third season of 'Inside the World's Toughest Prisons' is coming soon, equally as educational as the first two seasons, with some real bizarre instances and a twist!
