Defence solicitor Paul McLeod told Chesterfield magistrates three years ago: “It’s really sad because it is like a revolving door. He goes to prison, comes out, gets breached and goes back again.
“He, himself, says he would rather be in prison than out because it is so hard on the outside.
“He’s become acclimatised to life in prison rather than living a normal life. He’s become a recidivist. It’s extremely sad.”
