Janice Nix’s memoir tells the gripping story of her journey from a life of crime to one of redemption. As a runaway teenager, she became a professional shoplifter, eventually rising through the ranks of London’s criminal underworld. From theft to dealing Class A drugs, she was deeply entrenched in crime until her dramatic arrest and prison sentence. Instead of falling back into old habits, Janice used her time behind bars to reflect and change. After her release, she dedicated herself to helping ex-offenders reintegrate into society, working with the St Giles Trust and later as a probation officer. However, her 2024 arrest for a decades-old manslaughter case adds a shocking twist to her journey, raising complex questions about justice and redemption.
