In Part 2 of this interview, Spanian discusses the very harsh transition from Boys Homes into the adult prison system. From petty crime into organized crime, and from 13 years behind bars into publishing a best selling memoir. What was happening in the streets as Sydney made the clunky pivot into innercity gentrification? And what does life look like now for the kids who were raised in Woolloomoolloo and Redfern during the wild old days?
