Resilient: Childhood Adversity to Cambridge University | Christian Austin

Christian Austin is a musician, criminologist, author and former prisoner and addict. He spent two decades of his life in the juvenile and adult prison systems before being accepted to the University of Cambridge. Christian recounts his traumatic childhood, early criminal activities, experiences in care homes, past violent behaviour, and the impact of addiction on his life. He also discusses his time in prison, where he found solace in education and music, and reflects on the flaws of the prison system and the societal factors contributing to recidivism.
