#355. Liverpool’s Drug Lord: 19 Years Behind Bars Smuggling Millions - John Burton

Bu bölüm hakkında

<p><strong>John</strong> <strong>Burton</strong> opens up about a life that saw him become heavily involved in organised drug supply, spend years around the criminal world, receive a 19-year prison sentence and eventually turn his experience inside prison into a mission to help others.</p><br><p>After years of dealing drugs and working with people across the West Midlands, John was arrested in February 2011 following a major investigation into the supply of Class A and Class B drugs. The case centred around 240 kilos of cannabis alongside cocaine, with evidence gathered from phones and people connected to the operation. John was eventually sentenced to 14 years for one offence and a further five years for another, giving him a total sentence of 19 years.</p><br><p>But prison wasn&#39;t new territory for John. He talks about previous experiences inside, including escaping from prison in 2000, before eventually finding himself back behind bars over a decade later. During his time in prison, he saw first-hand the people, characters and problems within the system, while also experiencing the huge personal cost of being separated from his family and watching years of his life pass by. Now, John uses those experiences to try and make a difference. Having lived through the criminal world and the prison system himself, he speaks openly about rehabilitation, the reality of long sentences and why he believes more needs to be done to help people change their lives after prison.</p><br><p>This is the eventful life of <strong>John Burton.</strong></p><br><p>If you&#39;re a Founder and would like to come on the podcast, then you can apply on the link here 👉 https://dodgewoodall.com/guest</p><br><p><em>All Enquiries - <a href="mailto:Hello@DodgeWoodall.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Hello@DodgeWoodall.com</a></em></p><p><em>Website: <a href="https://dodgewoodall.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">DodgeWoodall.com</a></em></p><br><p>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/DodgeWoodall" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dodge Woodall</a></p><p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/dodgerwoodall" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dodge Woodall</a></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/dodge.woodall/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@Dodge.Woodall</a></p><p>TikTok: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@dodgewoodall" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@DodgeWoodall</a></p><p>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/dodgewoodall/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dodge Woodall</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
