Five criminals. Five law-abiding citizens. Six months to go straight.

Five ordinary members of the public volunteered to help criminals go straight by acting as their mentors.

A Chelsea interior designer is paired with a mugger, a stay-at-home dad with an armed robber and criminal lawyer with a smackhead.

Throughout the mentoring the five volunteers had to use their experience, wit, common sense and sheer determination to guide and counsel a repeat offender as they faced life outside prison.
