True crime memoir that details the author's background, entry into crime (bank robbery) and time in US prisons. Insights into society and redemption included.
This book is an autobiographical account of the author‟s route into crime, from an unknown university student to an infamous bank robber wanted on both sides of the pond. It isn‟t long before he swaps lecture halls for the ruthless walls of the American prison system. This book shows how the path of crime is not always easy to predict – and that the voices of those locked away will one day be heard. Surrounded by the dismal walls of his prison cell, the author retreats into his memories, where the past slowly unravels and the path to his future predicament is made clear.
“Just Sky” is a story of discovery and dreams, of loss and struggle. It is a gripping tale which lays bare the harrowing details of the time spent by the author in American prisons.

Stephen Jackley spent 7 years in 23 American and British prisons before getting released in 2015, when he helped to found the publishing social enterprise that is now Arkbound. He now works with the justice charity, Justice in Prisons, along with the Arkbound Foundation – helping to tackle stigma towards ex-offenders and the myths surrounding imprisonment. In 2016 he was commended by HRH Prince Charles for his work with charities and community organisations. Stephen is writing the sequel to Just Sky, due for release in 2018.
