Nobody could help me with my psychosis. Then I was sent to jail for holding up a shop with a toy gun
Briefly

"In my mind, I hadn't committed a crime at all; I was merely acting out a scene from a film. Legally I had committed a Schedule 15 offence"
"Bail wasn't even considered, as the magistrate believed I underestimated the seriousness of my crime, didn't think I'd surrender to my bail conditions and saw me as a flight risk."
"I genuinely believe if the universe wanted to destroy me, then bail would have been granted that day. Me being placed on remand was an act of loving kindness."
"I truly believe...to remove me from society, to save me from myself, to get better for my two beautiful young sons back at home."
