Get busy living or get busy dying - Tariq Maqbool
About this episode
Today I catch up with Tariq Maqbool to get the latest on his bid for clemency with the governor.
We explore life inside prison and what happens when men become institutionalised, incarcerated for so long that freedom itself becomes something to fear. Many struggle with the idea of release, stepping back into the shadows rather than walking into the light.
Tariq also opens up about his favourite film, Shawshank Redemption, and how closely it mirrors the realities of prison life. He’s met men like Brooks — those broken by the system and lives by the same mantra that defines the film: get busy living, or get busy dying.
