Aged twenty-nine he became, at that time, the UK's youngest ever prison Governor in charge of a jail and his career since then has seen him sat across a table with all sorts of killers: sometimes in a tense interview, sometimes sharing a cup of tea (or something a little stronger), sometimes looking them in the eye to tell them that they are a psychopath.
