Steve Gallant QGM
There are people who study violence, extremism and desistance from the outside.
Steve Gallant lived it from within.
Sentenced to life imprisonment for murder, Steve spent over 16 years inside some of Britain's most dangerous high-security prisons. On his first day release, he intervened to stop a terrorist attack at Fishmongers' Hall on London Bridge – and was subsequently granted a Royal Prerogative of Mercy by Queen Elizebeth II and awarded the Queen's Gallantry Medal.
He is now one of the UK's most distinctive voices on extremism in custodial settings, desistance and how to create safer prisons that create the conditions for rehabilitation
