Kevin Devonport spiralled into criminality after he left the Army aged 21 and struggled with drug addiction.
The 52-year-old was 35 when he was caught selling heroin in 2007 and had already served three jail terms.
Facing the prospect of another lengthy prison term, he took the advice of another inmate who told him - "don't serve time, let time serve you" After turning his life around, he has won multiple awards and obtained a university degree.
